I am a DOD player who is evaluating what game I will move up to and am attemting to tryout BF2 to see if I should buy it so I can play online and make this my new game.
I installed from a DVD image file and applied Special Forces as well as the 1.41 patch. Everything seemed to install fine. I did not install the Nvidia drivers as I already have the latest drivers for my geforce 3. After a reboot, I double clicked the exe and after a brief BF2 splash screen appeared, it all just dissapeared and went back to the desktop.
Here are my PC specs.
2ghz processor
Geforce 3 64mb ddr ram (technically, its a Quadro 2 pro 64mb 256 bit card but it identifies as a geforce 3)
1GB system ram
Is it the card that can't handle the game? I was hoping to get the game up and turn off all the eye candy and just see if it was playable at a low resolution but it seems the 64mb card can't even boot the game. Has anyone ever sucessfully ran BF2 with a 64mb ram video card and am I correct in assuming it is probably my card?????
P.S. I also have no physical dvd in the drive, but I did mount the install dvd via alcohol120, if that does anything. It never had a chance to even ask for the dvd. Thanks for all the help.
I set the exe to open in a window instead of full screen and got this error popup when it crashed on bootup.
"debug assertion failed!
module renddx9
query manager.ccp line 37

Anyway I can rig this to work so I can see the game before buying a new card?
