add 800x600 to your GPU driver
If you experience this warning or the crash related to unknown DynamicOption value 800x600, it means that your graphics card (GPU) does not support the required resolution of 800x600 to start PR:BF2. While you may have set a different resolution in the options, BF2 still requires this resolution when it first starts up.

Several (mostly laptop) graphic drivers don't support 800x600 resolutions by default so you'll need to add it manually.

We recommend this tutorial on how to add it depending on your GPU brand:
https://appuals.com/how-to-create-custo ... 7-8-or-10/

IF you are unsure what your GPU is please perform the following steps:

- Click Start
- on the Start menu, click Run
- in the Open box, type dxdiag, and then click OK.
- The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab, where information about your graphics card is shown in the Device section.
