problem with battlefield 2

[shepard20]

Hi guys,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this,..but:
I have a problem with bf2,on my old computer i played it normally,no problems at all,but now when i connect and enter the map after few seconds it throws me in windows. I have AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core 4000+2.11GHz,1.00gb ram and geforce 8500 gt. Somebody told me thats because this dualcore procesor 64x2,but i dont understand why? Any help would be great.

Do you have the 1.41 patch?

[sgt.collins]

first try patching again. then, update punkbuster. if that doesn't work, reinstall.

That's why I never buy new generation technology products!

HI there!!

Did u fix the problem?

Well i also had this problem, but i managed to fix it.

U use dual core right?

Try these steps:

1. Run bf2

2. Open taskmanager

3. Go to processes and find bf2.exe

4. Right click it.

5. Find set affinity(maybe. im not 100% sure)

6. you should have cpu 0 and cpu 1 ticked. Tick one off

7. Close taskmanager and try running bf2 again.


Well hoped this helped. I'm not sure if u set affinity in the process part.

I think bf2 doesn't work with dual cores, so which makes u to run bf2 on one cpu.

So i kind of lag when i play bf2. I use 1.8ghz dual core.

Hope this helped!!!

wanna know why,

its the 8500gt. i have one.

it pulls out a unstable 40 fps on med settings. its very poor card.

and also the 1 gig ram,...


get a 7600gs and 1 more gig off ram.

with vista , i would even bother with the game.

i have 4 gigs off ram,,

so there is no isue with my hardware, its just bf2 and vista, vista sp1 --i hope it will fix playing older games

40 fps with 8500gt?

Um a... i use it to.... r u sure?

Works fine for me with high settings and AA up to x8...

[yobbo89]

well this was on vista 2 gb ram pentiume 925 3.0ghz

on other games it kinda truggled.

haft to set it to med low.


got this card some were lying around my floor or in a box,,

took it out after couple off weeks,.

and put a 7900gs in.

[jAcky7]

Oh... so does it work fine with the 7900gs?

Damn... i should reinstall xp then.. i just installed vista on my other computer....

[yobbo89]

yeah, all maxed out 90 fps on a 7900gs,, plays other games well too..

[AmericanDad]

same here my 7900gt kicks my 8600gt's ***

No problems with Vista, running a 8800 GTX and a Core 2 Duo. Make sure you run it as an Administrator. Right click the shortcut, click Properties and check the box marked "Run as Administrator.

I tried doing that but the 'run as administrator' box is greyed out any ideas?

^^^Yep the 8500 and only 1gig of ram isnt helpin especially if you have vista, go atleast 3 gig of ram & a better card.
but first like others said, make sure your patched with 1.41, defragment, registry scan & fix, update PBuster manually, i'd try game on medium if not low settings till i got some more better hardware.
