For all you ATI Radeon 9200SE users here is a heads up for ya. I recently got the Battlefield 2 demo which should have worked fine on my pc. Except for the fact that EA doesnt tell you that BF2 does not work right with that GFX card even though its in the supported gfx cards list. Another reason to hate EA: Battlefield 2, supposedly being able to run on the Radeon 9200SE, crashed my pc everytime I started the game up on every driver I tried with the game. Finally the game decided to corrupt my graphics drivers as trigger my VPU recover which decided to crash my computer again. I now have to run on integrated graphics thanks to EA's shit fuck game.
I don't know if this was a problem on just my computer but my friend had the same problem as me with the Radeon 9200SE. Just a heads up for you 9200SE users to think about when getting this game/demo.

My 6600 GT isn't there but it works great...but that's a new card.
Also just browsing I found this http://www.eaplay.com/southafrica/community/messageboards/ga me/battlefield2/thread/11021/?pg=last
The one guy mentions changing it to 4X which may help you. Google is your friend on this one.

Thanks for pulling that list up. So all I can say now is 9200SE users DO NOT get BF2. But seriously, EA, sucks. Also on that link you gave me, its too bad mines not AGP, its PCI. :/

Let me give you a rundown on how I'm seeing this.
You Installed Battlefield 2 without checking supported GFX Cards.
The game doesn't support your GFX Card and corrupts your drivers.
You blame EA for your fault.
End. This should be locked.

Wasn't talking to you asswipe, I replied on EA's list of working graphic cards. Now don't pick on me because you're pissed on something you did yourself.

And yes as I have said multiple times I posted this to give a heads up to ATI Radeon 9200SE users. Must be a crime around here to warn people about these things.

I doubt I am going to buy a new GFX card just to run a EA games demo...yet alone buy a used one. Thanks for the idea though.

Can't we just all agree that BF2 has an piss poor optimization free engine?
|
No.
|
I haven't seen an engine as bad as the one in BF2 since Extreme Paint Brawl. On a machine that can tear through HL2 with the settings maxed, I have to scale down detail on BF2 and I still have to put up with subpar performance.
