  • Vista users, please do me a favor!

    When you join a ranked server, press the "~" or "End" key on your keyboard to bring up the console and type "pb_getss" (w/o the quotes). Then, go to your PB folder (C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\pb\scrnshot) and see if you'll also get an all black screenshot.

    I have no firewall or anti-virus running when I play (or any other program - I close almost everything on Task Manager) and the only thing that I changed was my OS (from XP to Vista Ultimate).

    It sucks because I paid $300+ for this new OS and found out I can't use it to play my favorite game for fear of getting banned!

      Thanks! I'm using an ATI card (X1950XT) and I'm 100% sure I'm using the latest drivers...
