Re: BF2 under windows vista

Are you running the MSDN copy? Also, I believe MS is putting out something called DX9.0L, which is DX9 API specifically for Vista.

yeah 9.0L for Legacy....to run dx9 games on dx10.

"to run dx9 games on dx10"
you mean to be able to get dx10 effects (shader model 4.0 ect) on WindowsXP right?

@sid6.5 perhaps try manually updating punk buster available at http://www.evenbalance.com/ I believe the automatic update would not work under Visita rc's. Also check the problem elsewhere in the forum for a solution if this does not work, hope this helps.

tried, does not work

Thank you. I will try it now..

I got this error when am trying to enter any server


Punkbuster Cilent: (0 minutes) RESTRICTION: Inadquate O/S Privieges.

i know i'm late with this response but i just installed vista premium home edition and a fresh install of BF2: Deluxe Edition and then i downloaded the latest patch, installed it and i get the same problem when i try to join any server. it works just fine in single player mode though it does stutter some and the screen blacks out for a few seconds... what should i do?

Re: BF2 under windows vista

I too had this problem and what I did was right click on the BF2 Icon go to properties and then go to the compatibility tab and down on the bottom make sure that the box for "Run this program as administrator" is checked. It should work fine. That is how I got it to work for me.
