Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005)

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005)

Menu UI bug or glitch
The story and training works as intended as far as I can tell, and galactic conquest seems to work other then buttons are overlapping a bit. Basically all of the menu screens have a little of the top cut off, in instant action and multiplayer the text is blown up and hanging off the screen or overlapping with other UI and same goes for the buttons in these tabs, but only half of the buttons are just missing or physical button is not where the icon (the the button you see and click on) is located effectively making them invisible or unusable. Every time I launch everything appears to be the same unless I try adjusting or fixing it, whatever I do it seems to have a random effect to the UI which doesn't make anything better, just changes the problem to translating parts of the UI and background to a different location on the screen or flat out parts of UI not showing period.
This only has occurred on my pavilion laptop, and I have tried everything I can imagine having some effect ranging from windows settings, steam settings, game settings, messing with game files, reinstalling/deleting, etc.. I don't have screenshots because I am for some reason unable to when the game is launched.
This isn't my first rodeo fixing this game, or some games in general, but I have never seen this issue before. I am not expecting direct help, but it would be deeply appreciated if I could be directed to as many discussions or videos possible that seem relevant to wacky UI similar to this.

install the 1.5 r2 patch and follow the instruction files closely

buggy, but the game is now playable. thats a win to me

make sure you use custom resolution in the launch options, that coincides with the 1.5 r2 mod
Petertastic Oct 13, 2021 @ 6:03am 
yup. anything else to look out for? or is the mod pretty much the only fix

1.5 r2 adds new HUDs adjusted for 16x9 and 16x10 resolutions but you gotta make sure you use -resolution 1920 1080 in the launch options (or whatever numbers you want)

I don't know of anything else
Petertastic Oct 13, 2021 @ 6:52am

I searched through around 20 different community answers and finally found it!

In Steam > right clicked the game > properties > Set Launch Options text box > type in "/resolution 1024 768" > click x > launch game!

I used 1368 768 and that worked, as well.

Problem is for me it won’t load in correctly, my game will show a black screen for me when I load up that 1.5 interface mod. I really don’t know what to do. I can’t be having the award weapons. I need this interface mod to work. Can someone help me resolve this black screen launch issue.
