Problem with battlefield 2

[whiteagle]

I installed the program but when i open it the autorun screen pops up, so i click play BF2 then a couple seconds later the the screen goes black for about less than 2 seconds then it goes back to the desktop, I checked the easyinfo stats and found that you need 128.0 display mem and my system only got 64.0, I have an Intel 82865G graphics controller, can i fix this problem or would i have to buy a new video card?

Re: Problem with battlefield 2

u have to buy a new video card. the intel "video cards" do not support BF2 no matter wat u do.

i would u recommend u get at the very least a 6600gt which are pretty cheap nowadays.

Yuppers, that Intel Graphics won't run BF2, you'll need a new graphics card.

Also, be sure to get the latest BF2 patch (1.41)

Okay, well thanks a lot for your input, i looked at a nvidia Geforce 6200 on sale right now for 39.99 and about 35.00 for them to install, will this vid card run this program well, since i most likely wont be playing online anyway?

IMO, if your'e getting a new card, a 6200 isnt a big leap from what you currently have. I'd suggest EVGA's 7800GS:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130274

But if you don't have enough cash for that, try EVGA's 6800:

And don't pay to install, its quite simple, and not worth wasting 30 bucks on.

Well i don't plan on paying 200 bucks for it when i can get one that i can still play on for 40.00. maybe ill pay more for it if you could tell me how to install it.

actually pretty simple, but make sure you get the card slot right, like PCI , AGP, or PCI-E, what ever your MB has before ordering.

mainly cut all power, open case, find a empty AGP slot, snap it in, screw in top realy easy to see. put case lid back on, fire up pewter , it will prompt for your cd.

but like Link said it will have install instructions, cant go wrong with those.

Re: Problem with battlefield 2

yea i wouldnt pay for someone to intsall a video card.

but first, download (google for this) CPU-Z and then it will tell you if you have a pci-express x16 slot or agp slot or worst of all..just pci slot

go to this site (below) & in the dropdown box choose battlefield 2 and then hit the "can i run it button" it will tell youwhat you need , recommendations & all.

if you talkin about slots, open your computer, if there white there PCI , if there black there PCI-E and burgandy is AGP, thats they way it is on my MB anyway.
