OK, this is an easy one for the seasoned dude. Here goes...
Running Vista x64, installed BF2 and didn't work (crashed to desktop after splash screen). It ran on prior Vista x64 installs, but not this one. After a month of missing the game, I searched and found an interesting solution: refresh rate.
I downloaded a little program called Reforce and forced a refresh rate of 70, also went into the Battlefield 2 folder (in My Documents) and altered the video.con file from 60 to 70. Viola! The program works!
It works but the game does not look so hot. See...
There are those little doo-dads that scatter around and do not give a good overall picture of the place. It seems to only do that to the terrain. Naturally, I could lower the settings and they'll go away (and they do), but I'd like BF2 and don't want to play it half-assed.
Anyone have any suggestions? I have not even messed with Catalyst, is there anything their I can do?
HELP!
