  • BF2 start-up issues (didn't see this when I searched for it)...

    ...but if it's already been answered, if you would be kind enough to direct me to the appropriate thread, I would appreciate it.

    Anyway, when I try to start up BF2 after installing it it starts to load (does the whole black screen thing), then simply goes back to the desktop like nothing happened. Now I know what the problem is - I'm using a graphics card that isn't in the rather small list of supported graphics cards - but I DO meet the minimum requirements, and so I'm wondering if there's any way to tweak video settings or something of the like to get it to run on a non-supported graphics card that meets minimum requirements (the card, BTW, is an integrated GeForce 4 w/ 128 MB).

    Thanks much.

    Nop, there is no possible way to make that card run BF2.

      Like most things, there probably is a way to get it to work, but it WILL NOT BE WORTH IT. You seriously can't play this game if it looks like Doom.

            Well I have 1.5 gb ram and 2.6 ghz Pentium 4 but it doesn't matter cause I fixed it , it turns out that in dxdiag the override refresh rate feature was turned on and set to 70 hz meaning I couldn't start up right even though I had changed my refresh rate and resolution to 800x600 @60 hz through windows.

                im pretty sure your refresh rate in bf2 MUST match your desktop refresh rate.. i think lol
