Re: blank screen

Re: blank screen

This is what happens to me.
Thankfully I am upgrading my card soon

I just boosted my 512Mb RAM up to 1Gb...and i'm pretty sure it didn't solve it

Re: blank screen

yes, your vid. card is probably too old.. I had a really old nVidia card and my game would crash as soon as it said "welcome to duty." I bought an ATI 9800 Pro and it fixed the problem....

Re: blank screen

if it's regular PCI I'd say save up and get a new computer. I had an ATI PCI 9200 and it wouldn't run BF2 at all. When I went from that to an nVidia 5200U it ran fairly good considerinh what I had at teh time.
