First you need patch 1.5, which adds proper widescreen support. Sometimes that is all you need, and when you load up the game widescreen resolutions will be in the menu.

If like me it doesn't, you need to go to the Battlefield 2142 Preferences folder, which is in the Preferences folder in your Library folder (ie not root level of the harddrive, your user folder)

Open the config file in TextEdit and add the following line right at the bottom -

[AppDefaults\\BF2142.exe\\transgaming]
"cmdlineadd" = "+widescreen 1"

Now save (keeping it as a plain text file) and launch the game. Now a load of widescreen resolutions should appear in the video section of the options!

Mwahahahaha.





Yes its not really running purely on Mac OS X - im testing the demo of CrossOver Games. Guild Wars runs well in it, lets see how it will handle the Portal demo.

is now listed as "Not yet shipped" instead of "Under Review".

Yay!
