Battlefield 2"Unknown DynamicOption value 800x600" error with no mention of @60Hz

The following problem seems to be typical of newer HP Laptops, as they don't support 800x600 natively:

https://i.imgur.com/dQTb2Q9.png
 – HP Notebook 15-bs000nl
  (has Intel® HD Graphics 405)
 – HP Notebook G6 250
 – HP Notebook 15-bs031m
  (has Intel® HD Graphics 520)
 – HP Notebook 15-bs077nr
 – HP Notebook 15-bs178cl
  (has Intel® HD Graphics 620)
 – HP ENVY 13-ah0007nx
 – HP Notebook 15-da1019nx
 – HP Laptop 15-da0xxx
  (has Intel® UHD Graphics 620)
 – HP Pavilion 17-cd0033na
  (has Intel® UHD Graphics 630)
 – HP Gaming Pavilion 15-dk0010ng
  (has NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti)
 – HP Notebook 14s-cf2032tx
  (has AMD Radeon 530 Graphics)

The following models need an external monitor (that supports 800x600) to play, closing the laptop's lid, because unfortunately it looks like it's not possible for the internal monitor to add 800x600@60Hz as custom resolution:
 – HP Laptop 15-da0xxx
 – HP Laptop 15-dw1001nk
 – Some with Intel® UHD Graphics 620
 – HP Gaming Pavilion 17-cd1xxx
 – HP Pavilion x360 convertible 14-dh1xxx

Hello Glizda and welcome.[

I suspect that you might have an integrated Intel GPU (eg. Intel® HD Graphics 620). If that's the case, all you have to do is to add the 800x600@60Hz custom resolution in the Intel Graphics Command Center: right-click on your Desktop > click Intel Graphics Settings > go to Display > open Custom Resolutions > Add it.

N1: if you see the NVIDIA Control Panel instead then search Intel Graphics Command Center in the Start menu
N2: if you have the new Intel Graphics Command Center instead, look for the "Custom" button or read this.
  If you don't have that, chances are you need to install the beta version of the app from the Windows Store.

N3: if you still can't add the custom resolution, not even from the beta version of Intel Graphics Command,
  perhaps take a look at the video shown at the bottom of this post: Intel removed from their new drivers
  the ability to add custom resolutions, so there's a third party utility (CRU) that gives you this ability back

N4: If none of the options above apply to you, the only workaround is to plug in a secondary monitor that
  can support the 800x600 resolution, and to close the lid of the Laptop before launching the game again


After you have done this step, the game should be able to start correctly (you can switch it back to fullscreen). I assume that since the game uses 800x600 by default, it will check if it is available no matter what (it is kind of a "fall back" resolution so if it's not available, the game won't be able to use it if necessary so it throws the error).

If you have the newer version of the app, it will
look something like this (hopefully with no error)

If you don't have these softwares, you might try with this video kindly made by Gaben188:



If you still get the error, the only option is to plug in a secondary monitor
that can support the 800x600 resolution, and to close the lid of the Laptop

S_h_a_r_k_93... this dude is a lifesaver. I registered to lost-soldiers.org, gained access to the BF2.exe download and had problems with the debug assertion failed error. Shark walked me through every rabbit hole imaginable and finally brought me to this fix.

Thanks for your services, greatly appreciated! Another note is that if you've tried so many options and then finally get it to work, but it lags horribly no matter what you do, completely delete/uninstall everything including the "Battlefield 2" folder in your documents, then reinstall. Your custom resolution will still be saved, game runs super smooth! smiling

Got any questions? Visit lost-solders.org, register, download Discord and join the Lost-Solders server, find S_h_a_r_k_93, he'll take damn good care of you!

Click your diagnostics tab in bf2 and scroll down to see resolutions. If it isn't listed there, even though nvidia control panel is showing it, it isn't functioning correctly.

It wouldn't embed correctly, so here's a direct link, to add custom resolutions, directly through display settings.

Actually, it is not - the ones that we fix with this topic do not have "@60Hz" - you can double-check that you have 800x600 available by following PvtStandOn's steps. Then you can knock yourself out with some old shark goodies: web.archive.org/web/20.../post.php?id=9744#800x600 (may take a bit to load the whole page).

As a last resort, to those who can't add custom resolutions and need an external monitor, which they don't have.
It may need an older video driver, that supported custom resolutions, or you may need to use Custom Resolution Utility.

You can read more here https://www.monitortes...om-Resolution-Utility-CRU

A link for it is in the post Shark provided, but I wanted to point it out, that it can be a solution too

@PvtStandOn i was honestly going to give up Because my screen at the lowest it can go was 1024x768, but when i used the program that you linked, i set it to 800x600 at 60hz, restarted it and it works very nicely, thank you.
