Delta Force 2 Screen Resolution

06-25-2010, 06:56 AM

I just installed the game again out of nostalgia and everything works but I can't get the screen resolution to increase over 800 x 480 which makes the text totally unreadable :/

How can I increase it to my native resolution of 1680 x 1050?

edit: and the game seems to freeze when I click on a MP game in the browser :/

ye... well... good luck with that... this game was out before 1680x1050 existed on gaming rigs

They never updated the screen resolutions to newer systems. yeah is over 10 years old and thats what the hardware could do back then.

i realise this is an ancient thread, but in case anybody is still wondering or looking for an answer:

Delta Force and Delta Force 2 both support a maximum resolution of 1024x768. DF2 used to have this resolution selectable in the options menu, but if i remember correctly it was removed in a patch, probably because there was no hardware around that could run the game in such a "high" resolution.

anyway, you can enable 1024x768 bei editing the game's configuration file (df.cfg and df2.cfg respectively). look for the line "game_res" and set its value to "5" and "6" respectively.

you can set the value to 7 for a resolution of 1280x960 but the game will crash. there is no resolution beyond that.

playing these classics in 1024x768 is a hell of a lot better than playing them in 800x600.

Wow, thanks a lot, mate. Never heard of it but now the classics look really better.
