You can add /win to launch options for windowed mode and also add /nointro to skip loadup screens and go right to profile selection

It only comes up as a small square, how can I make it bigger in windowed mode?
The years just fly past, don't they?

Please make sure you use AnthonyBF2s guide. There is a certain abusive former member who is passing off his walled garden as the only way to play and flat out copied his tutorial.

I am pretty sure he included an extended radar mod in the files he provided. I will confirm first but if true, then we will be able to report the guide he made for distributing cheats.

Ive told everyone to downvote it and report it. Anthony should really make his guide on the guides list to avoid that dude from screwing up a good thing like hes tryna do now

smh he just won't give it up, will he? And distributing an executeable with a known hack on Steam has got to be about the stupidest thing to do.
In Progress:
--Star Wars: Battlefront - Anniversary Edition (formerly Star Wars: Battlefront - Legacy Edition)

On Hold:
--Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron For SWBF1
--Endor: Imperial Base

He already did by getting me to write it and it has been getting over 10x the amount of attention lol

The thing is that even if we report his guide for distributing cheats, it's somewhat unlikely the moderators of Steam will download and set up the files he provided to verify if he is indeed giving cheats away or not. I am holding out hope that if enough people report him for it that the moderators will take it down anyways.

Edit: Of course it's also entirely possible I am misunderstanding what he's saying and he is in fact not distributing anything nefarious.

Well, on the other side of the coin, he doesn't have 15 people in one server right now like we do.  Today is a good day.

Sorry to interrupt but I was told that we can get the game in windowed mode but is there any way to make the window bigger? Cause right now it's a small window when the game boots up.

I think when using /win you can set the resolution (default 640x480 maybe?)  Try to set it like this:  battlefront.exe /win /resolution 1024 768

edited due to the fact you need resolution

The one you said: /win /resolution 1024 768

Doesn't change it at all. I'll take a look at the post.

Sorry, I must have messed something up.  Apparently that is SWBF2.

Read the directions here and then download if needed.  I don't know if it works with windowed mode but I can try it in a little bit.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet

Need to use windowed mode myself seeing that upon map load, my game just closes itself for some weird reason  :confused:

Now I run it in windowed mode in conjunction with Magic Borderless (available on Steam) to make it automatically full screen on game launch and play it that way  :cheer:

There is probably something with regards to my full screen settings that the game doesn't like when loading maps. Still trying to figure it out, but at least its better than nothing.

BTW, the /fixedrate cmd line option is quite nice as I can set my refresh rate to 144Hz to match that of my screen  8)

Windowed mode is hard coded at the 4:3 ratio.

And Phobos lol. Jack off and get a life already. The real credits are the Kalle for programming and Led for hosting.

Steam deleted my review with the online guide (not the guide itself) but I wonder if they will ban his radar cheat exe?

Butthurt cucks everywhere.
Never let a person named AnthonyBF2 touch your BF2.
