PB2 @ 1920x1080 or Custom Resolutions
« on: August 28, 2009, 10:57:26 PM »
How can I set the resolution to 1920x1080? The closest avaiable options are 1900x1200 or 1680x1050. I'm using 1050 atm, but I don't like the black bars or the pixel smudging on my LCD. :P

Currently you cannot set a custom resolution.  I'm not even sure if that would be possible.  For now you're just gonna have to make due with what you have.  :-\

It should be possible. I found a mod for Quake 2 to get it working. Hmm... maybe I should look for that too. Again... lol.

The problem is it's not as simple as editing a *.cfg file.

EDIT: Found it... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=255

They edited the Quake2.exe. Can I do this to mine?

I added custom resolutions in the source a while back but then figured pretty much all the resolutions were accounted for and didn't commit. It's a simple 5 minute tweak.

Modifying your paintball2.exe will result in a ban if used online due to cheating prevention.

Make a feature request for that resolution to be added.

Makes sense to me.  My new 22" ws uses that as a recommended dispaly settings.

OK. I had another look last night, and the closest resolution was 1920x1200. That should be either 1900x1200 or 1920x1080. It's a common mistake.
