Textures stuck at medium

[kraegor]

Hello,

I've got a 2.2 ghz athlon
Geforce 7800
2gigs of ram

anywho, BF2 runs...but no matter what i do the textures are only loading at crappy quality. (this problem is BF2 only) WoW and HL2 look awesome.

I've altered the setting in-game to high.
I've altered the video.con to be 3 or 4 for all settings and again...

the textures dont change. They look like the original BF...or counterstrike for that matter...

any tips?

u goin to have to wait. the 7800 has trouble wit bf2. nvidia noes and r working on it.

[kraegor]

? could you clarify your statement?

I've seen reviews and benchmarks run against the GeForce 7800 using BF2 from anandtech. and seen screenshots from other sites.

their imagery/textures look excellent. Looks like a screwed up game setting to me. For whatever reason BF2 isnt acknowleding that i want High res textures.

do you have demo instaled?

[kraegor]

no. full game.

when i said "crappy quality".

I was referring to low res textures....the game wont load high-res as far as i can tell.

[T1no]

no, i mean do you still have the demo instaled?

[kraegor]

I dont play demos.

at present im gonna assume the problem is BF2 vs Nvidia.
perhaps 1.3 will fix it. or perhaps nvidia will.
