I bought Soldier of Fortune 2 Double Helix Gold edition from the store to play multiplayer again but, no servers show up in the list. How do I fix this ? Do I need the v1.04 patch ? Where do I extract it to ? Also how do I get the game to run at 1080p resolution ?

Product pages for both SoF 2 Double Helix and SoF Payback say: As for widescreen and other things, PCGamingWiki is a good resource of information.

Gamespy was closed some years's ago, so no online servers


gog version is already updated to latest version

Don't force games designed for 4:3 aspects into 16:9 resolutions without an actual mod that adjusts all that needs to be adjusted. Unless of course, you like distortion and HUD and FOV issues. If you are going to force a resolution, just use the highest 4:3 resolution that fits on your screen.

That's 1440x1080 for 1080p displays and 1920x1440 for 1440p displays.

GOG version is the gold edition v1.03 but, there is a unofficial patch v1.04 I know there is servers, people still play this Where do I extract the patch to ? How did you get it to run at 1080p What do you type in the console ?

It's right there in the pcgamingwiki, but I noticed they didn't link it to the SoF II page.

Running the game in widescreen resolution in single player[citation needed]
Start the game.
Open the console (⇧ Shift+~)[Note 2].
Type in: r_customwidth X, where X is width of your desired resolution (for example, for 1680x1050 resolution, replace X with 1680).
Now, type in: r_customheight Y, where Y is height of your desired resolution (for example, for 1680x1050 resolution, replace Y with 1050).
Type in: r_mode -1 to make the game use custom resolutions.
Type in vid_restart to restart the renderer and apply new resolution settings.

Or if you want to go through the config file:

Setting the single player configuration file for widescreen[citation needed]
Run the game at least once and set the graphic options to your preference.
Edit the file <path-to-game>\base\sof2sp.cfg.
Set r_customwidth X, where X is width of your desired resolution (for example, for 1680x1050 resolution, replace X with 1680).
Set r_customheight Y, where Y is height of your desired resolution (for example, for 1680x1050 resolution, replace Y with 1050).
Set r_mode -1 to make the game use custom resolutions.

In order for me to keep it like that every time I boot the game up, I had to make the configuration file read only, so you'll need to make sure you have everything set to your specifications before doing that.

EDIT: These same steps can be used in other Quake III engine games, but I noticed they can bug out (Return to Castle Wolfenstein will straight crash on certain level loads, and Quake III Arena's cutscenes won't play properly), so proceed with caution.
