Battlefield 1942 and Surround Gaming

[R0M]

Hey Guys,
I know many of you are wondering if it's possible to run Battlefield 1942 in Surround Gaming, and the answer is YES!

Follow these steps to get it working:

1- Install the demo
2- Run it for the first time
3- Quit the game, this will generate a video.con
4- go to settings/profiles/custom and edit video.con generated
5- Change game.setGameDisplayMode 800 600 32
to game.SetGameDisplayMode 2400 600 32
6- Save and quit
7- Run the game again and choose multiplayer and create or join a game, except it will be in Surround Gaming and the FOV is automatically adjusted!!

Wow, man, I trried that about a dozen times and couldnt make it happen! Anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong???

Hey Tony,
I know why you can't get it to work, don't click on USE on the profile. Just click on Multiplayer right away, otherwise it will override the file if you choose a profile. Let me know if that helps,

WOW! This is really friggen Awsome!

I just got done playing around with BF1942 and surround gaming and damn it makes a huge difference. I was in a Sherman Tank attacking one of the spawn points and I had japanese Inf trying to take my tank out...from the sides, but with the surroundgaming I was able to see them and turn the turret and take them out! As for FPS I'm getting about 30 FPS, which isn't as bad as you think it sounds. Game is still very playable and hopefully the performance will improve as drivers mature.
