Battlefield Menu Problem

[olefarte]

I've just installed the 1.6 patch, and now when I start the game, the splash screen and the menu is partially off the screen to the right and bottom of my monitor. The game itself is okay. I can't see all the settings in the menu and can't see how to enable PunkBuster.

I would sure appreciate any help. This game has been running fine up until now. I haven't changed any settings in the game, computer, or monitor.

My computer, running XP
Resolution 1024x768 @ 60 Hz
Monitor, 19" LCD
P4, 3.06
512 Mb RDRAM
200 gig hard drive
ATi Radeon 9700 Pro, running Cat. 4.10

I have the same problem, i have a LCD 18.1 monitor from Dell and a ATI radeon 128 MB 9500. intel P4 2.4 GHz
the problem didn't happen in 1.5 or any other versions, only in 1.6

I sent a email to EA, If they give me a answer I will post it in this thread,

When attempting to play the game on ATI video cards using DVI outputs to a flatpanel monitor after installing the 1.6 patch the main menu is displayed larger then the viewable resolution of the monitor.

SOULTION: This is caused by the manner in which the 1.6 patch interacts with ATI video cards using DVI. To allow the game to be run such that the main menu is not oversized the following changes need to be made*:

1. Goto the directory where BF1942 is installed
2. Double Click Mods
3. Double Click bf1942
4. Double Click Settings
5. Right-Click VideoDefault.con and choose Open (if prompted for a program to use select Wordpad)
10. Edit the line renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1 to renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0
11. Save and Close the file.
This will cause the game to run with the main menu at the proper resolution.

Yep, worked for me too. Wish EA would post things like this.

Thanks!

Im having a problem too with my menu screen being off. Although I dont have an ATI card. I have:

Athlon XP 2600+
Ti-4800SE 128

My screen isnt off to the right any. It is just off at the top. The top of the screen appears at the bottom of my monitor. I tried adjusting the file recommended by wargasm and it did not help. I then took out my custom video settings and saved the defaults to see if it would help and it only managed to make the off screen problem occur in the game as well. I had saved my custom settings somewhere else and then reloaded them and managed to get back to where I started. Any advice on this situation? I would appreciate it.
