I installed BF2 1.0 > 1.1 > 1.41 1.50 > Core > levels

When i go into the game and retrieve my account it will load in for about 5-10 seconds then crash to desktop i've tried installing everything as "Run as administrator" , Still no help . . .
I've Try'd using different settings folders from friends still no luck i heard it might be a 800x600 resolution problem but i cannot access my options to change it to 1024x768 or 1260x968 ( Which is what i run at on my desktop 70hz ) , i was wondering if someone could kindly help me out with this problem because im a big fan and i love playing PR .

Thanks in advance , Josh

Have you tried creating a new 'Offline' account?

Also you can change your video settings outside of the game if you have a Battlefield 2 folder in My Documents. Just go to your profile and open the Video.con file with notepad. Look for the line that has the resolution setting and change it to your preference.

You can edit your video settings manualy.
Path:
C:\Users\your user name here\Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001\Video

Open with 'notepad' app. and set res to what you want( same as your desktop)
Here is what mine looks like for my 22" wide-screen LCD:

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 3
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 3
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 2
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 3
VideoSettings.setResolution 1024x768@60Hz
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing Off
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 3

Hope it helps
