Ok, did you configure Wine to launch in a "virutal desktop"
doing that and setting the config file to the same resolution allowed it to launch for me.

Once it finally launches, you can patch and then change resolutions in game

i believe so i checked emulate a virtual desktop

ok do i have to follow all the steps in your tutorial booman cause it not letting me complete some in the windows packages winetricks & playonlinux tutorial

Yeah I remember you said dotnet wasn't installing. I made that tutorial at least 6 months ago and a lot has changed.

I'm pretty sure you don't need all of those packages at this point.
My tutorial installs with the PlayOnLinux script which installs an earlier version of Wine.

But it sounds like you are able to install the game correct?
Did it install DirectX from the game CD's?
Were you able to patch to 1.41 or 1.5?

After everything is installed without errors that halt the installation, we are halfway there...
Then Wine should ask to restart Windows.
After that PlayOnLinux will ask about a Radeon card and how much Memory your card has... then what version of the game you own.

PlayOnLinux should give you a "successfully installed" window.
Technically you should be able to at least launch the game at this point with a low resolution, but I couldn't get it to launch initially.

1. Definitely install d3dx9 package
2. You won't need dotnet because you should use a later version of Wine

Editado por: booman

yes i installed the game correct according to playonlinux
and im still haveing problems

im not really understanding what you mean by your trick i dont really understand the steps were can i find wineprefix and do i have to type gedit video.con in the terminal?

and also there is no windows seven for me in the grpahics tab

Also make sure not to mix winetricks with pol. It will cause issues.

how do you keep from doing that?

um, dont run winetricks. You dont HAVE to run winetricks, and everything that winetricks does, POL already does. All of teh components that it installs can be found in the Install Components tab in the Configure window in PlayOnLinux. Dont use winetricks on POL wineprefixes.

sorry, I was hoping you knew some of the folder organization for PlayOnLinux.
No Terminal needed here.
Oh and we are not using Winetricks, I was just showing you how PlayOnLinux creates a "wineprefix" just like you can with Wine.

Do you know how to go to your "home" in Linux?
After PlayOnLinux installs Battlefield 2 it automatically creates a "Battlefield 2" folder in your "home"
Can you find that?

yes i can

great now do you see a "profiles" folder and in there a "default" folder?
in "default" you will find a file named: video.con

its configuration file that Battlefield 2 read to set the initial video which includes resolution.

1. Open it with Gedit
2. look for the line: VideoSettings.setResolution
3. modity the resolution to look like this: VideoSettings.setResolution 1024x768@60Hz

I think the problem we have is Battlefield needs to launch properly at least once because it creates some files. Since its not doing that, we can't get into the game and cahnge settings.

Once you launch it properly, then you can create a profile of your own and start changing the graphics settings.

ok i did that and its still not wanting to launch i get the battlefield2 start up screen i guess you can say or the launch screen then the it crashes

if you want i could put up the debug report

oo wait i dont have a video.con file
what should i do
thanks for you help again

Interesting, but is there a profiles and default folders?

Ok, there is a default in the Battlefield 2 program files.

Try this:
1. navigate to: /home/username/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Battlefield 2/drive_c/Program Files/EA GAMES/Battlefield 2/Profiles/Local/Default
(username is where you put your login)
(I know that is a long directory list, poke around until you find it.)

2. open video.con
3. Open it with Gedit
4. look for the line: game.setGameDisplayMode
5. modity the resolution to look like this: game.setGameDisplayMode 1024 768 32 0

This is a shot-in-the-dark, but I don't quite understand why you would have to go through all these steps?

Its always a good idea to start over again.
Did you ever try installing a newer version of Wine with PlayOnLinux?

yes i installed 1.5.25
and i also tried to reinstall the game but it used 1.142 wine to reinstall
and after i reinstalled i still didnt find the video.con folder

but i will follow your steps and look for it know

ok well ive tried that and i get to the video dot can i followed your steps but it still refuses to launch
do you have any other ideas?
as always thanks for the help
