Im wondering if anyone knows how to change the video settings that BF2 goes to by default. The reason I want to do this is because when changing prefixes, accounts (even with the exact same settings), or joining a game after getting kicked back to the login screen, BF2 reverts all my video settings to the default medium when I load up a game. Thanks to a new PC, medium settings dont lag me, but I like AAx2 and no shadows; when it loads with the reverted settings, it also makes another set of files in the cache, which slows down load times. In the Video menu tab it shows the settings as normal, even when they really arent. The only way around this is to log in, go to the video settings, change one, apply, change that one back to the normal setting I like it at, apply again, log out, log in, back to the video settings, change, apply, change, apply. It wouldnt be too bad if it wasnt for the increased master server problem related disconnects, but having to go through that whole thing sometimes after EVERY round is a pain in the ass

Ive gone through a fair bit of the My Documents/BF2 and straight BF2 game folder to find the defaults, but Ive found multiple video.cons in default folders and such, and they have different settings than the normal video.con in My Documents. Im kinda afraid of pissing off the almighty PB if I go around willy-nilly editing things

PS, my video.con:

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 3
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 3
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 1
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 3
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 0
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 3
VideoSettings.setResolution 1024x768@70Hz
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing 2Samples
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 3

You could get banned on some server running any anti-config-tool with settings on zero.

But i guess thats only for some european server.
