Anyone else getting the trippy graphics glitch?

Re: Anyone else getting the trippy graphics glitch?

If anyone is still getting this, the fix is to right click on the BF2 icon (either on desptop or start menu), go to compatibility and tick the "Disable desktop composition" box.

Then, when BF2 is opened, Windows 7 Aero Mode will be disabled. When BF2 is closed, it will be turned back on again. This could actually be public knowledge, but i've been away and haven't been keeping up really.

Shouldn't it be doing that automatically?

Apparently not, it only goes to classic mode on some older apps. I don't think having aero running in the background takes any real processing since it's not really refreshing or redrawing. But, obviously, it affects AA in BF2 for some bizarre reason!

thanks for the solution....i was about to reinstall the video drivers and repatch 1.4 and 1.5.....pretty sad that this wasn't caught in the extensive beta testing...

Alex98uk, back when I was modding I had this all the time. You can turn it on and off at the click of a button pretty much (it's a side effect of creating maps) but I can't remember for the life of me what it was. Although I was on XP Pro at the time.

I think it may have been something to do with Read Only permissions for something. Is your BF2 directory set to Read Only?


Edit: Just read your solution, thanks for the Vista fix :P (in case I ever get it)
