BF2 and Vista

[Shift16]

So i just got a new laptop and it has vista on it. I was wondering if bf2 works with vista.

also every time that i go into a online server, within seconds punkbuster kicks me out for inadequate O/S. I can only guess that that has something to do with vista.

Thanks, and happy new year =]

Inadequate O/S privileges? Try running it as admin.

Im the only user on the computer and it says admin...

First, in order to help, we need some system specs. Vista, like all other windows O/S, is based off of the same source code: the same core engine.

I like to call Vista a 300 dollar XP Service Pack. So yes, Vista is backwards compatible with older XP-based applications. No O/S has ever been a complete rehaul, it just wouldn't be feasible for a company or consumer.

The only problem I see here is...Vista will take up 1GB of your RAM(or more) just by itself. 1GB of RAM for BF2 alone is hardly sufficient, 1.5GB better, 2GB recommended. I'd be suggesting a minimum 4GB in a Vista system. This is a simple overlook by Dell.

If you're the only person using the computer, you should hold the admin account.
