Yes, to all those who don't know, there is a setting above "High." You can't do it in game, you have to do it from the BF2 settings.

Go to:

C:\Documents and Settings\YourComputerName\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001\Video !!!AND!!!
C:\Documents and Settings\YourComputerName\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\Default\Video

Open the file in notepad. Change the values below (not all of them!) to 4. Be sure to ONLY do this if you havea kick-a video card. When you are done, it should look like this: (By the way, your Resolution may be different, it doesn't matter)

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 4
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 4
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 4
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 4
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 4
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 4
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 4
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 4
VideoSettings.setResolution 1024x768@75Hz
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing 6Samples
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 3

Be sure to SAVE and then you are ready to go!

Sounds like fun. My 6800GT can handle everything on high with 2x AA (I haven't tried 4 yet) but it lags sometimes so I don't think it could handle all ultra high.

Good tip though.

well ive done what hes said to do and it seems to work, in the settings menu it says its set to ultra high, but in game, theres not much of a difference. i will get some screen shots done in a minute or two, but i have no idea how to post them on here. would putfie work for high resolution images?

i really dont see any diffrence at all. some armour skins have new writing on them though on mec side. other then that looks the same. actually shadows have weird clipping effects with this enabled.

might work better in very high resolutions only or something

just been having a play with the ultra high settings and there is a slight improvement on the graphics, but not buy much. as beerface said, might work better with a higher resolution. on big 64 player maps it does give you some lag like on kubra dam.
i think it would be best to keep it on high IMO

I changed both files and all that happens is the BF2 splash logo appears, then the game just CTD's before it even goes to the login screen. GG.

i got a question about graphics. i have a 6600GT and 512mb of ram. other people say they can run theirs on medium with a 6600GT. im think how the hell can theyd o that. is it the amount of ram they have? cuz i can only run 1 settin on medium

RAM is an absolute must for BF2. I had a gig and upped it to two, and my load times dropped insanely. Performance in game rose sharply as well.

Have you noticed that unranked and punkbuster free server 64 player vs ranked punkbuster enabled runs so much smoother, it makes me think that punkbuster slows the shit out of our game though I know it is very necessary but theres a huge noticable difference

yeah 2 gigs(1gig should do for medium) is a must if you want to run this game on med+ graphics without tremendous lag. ive tryed 3gigs but theres no improvement from 2gigs
