| Battlefield 2 Multiplayer Demo Problem |
|
|
|
Hi guys. First time I'm posting, great site.
I'm writing this because I hope you can help me.
I have downloaded the multiplayer demo of Battlefield 2 from the official site and i have installed it. But now I got an error. When I click on the icon at the desktop, the screen goes black, I wait 3 seconds and then I return to the desktop. I have the latest drivers for the video card and I don't know what to do.
I have a P4 2,4 GHz, 512MB, 120GB HD, GForce 4 TI 4200 and directx 9.0c installed (as they say in minimum system requirements).
Does anyone have the same problem?
Thank you in advance.
Raposa

OK guys found something on a website, people saying they CAN run the demo with a geforce 4 card;
"Ok, I finally figured out how to fix that damn crash to desktop error when using a GF4TI card.
1) download the Microsoft Framework, do a search on google (+download +microsoft framework)
2) download DXTweaker: http://mrbauer.net/files/dxtweaker.rar
3) Extract to a folder on desktop
4) Run DXTweaker, and goto "New" on the right
5) Point it to your root BF2 EXE (in your EA Sportsbattlefield 2 DIR)
6) Check the 2 boxes that contain 'SHADER' , one is FORCE PP SHADER OTHER IS PS SHADER or something of that sourt
7) Click Apply, and then click RUN on the top.
It will launch the game with no problems and you will be playing very smoothly!
I just wish EA and DICE would have included a simple pixel shader 1.2 include but w/e, this will be suffice for now."
hope it's of any help!

It seems it's still not working yet. Now I can't play online. I can enter the game, I have creted an account, but when I choose a server, the game load the map and all that stuff but when I click "Join server" the game crash to desktop again. Do I need to activate anything more in DXTweaker? I didn't try to play in single mode yet, so I don't know if it has the same problem. If anyone know how can I play online...
P.S.: It happens the same in singleplayer mode.

Well, as the readme file states the game requires at least geforce 5700 or radeon 8500. Which means ti4600 isn't supported. So if you fool the game to think your card meets the requirements, it still isn't gonna work since the hardware isn't compatible. It might be possible to modify the display driver to get the ti4600 to run, but riva TNT? I'll be really impressed if you can get that to run

You should be able to get a video card that will work for less than 75 bucks new, and less on Ebay...
I've been playing this game sonce the 23rd, and it's worth the money for the video card. Eventually you're going to play it, so it might as well be now when we're all learning the game.
