Re: I admit it -- I am stumped!!!

couple of things that might be doing this..Your video resolution/refresh rates is not compatible with either video card or monitor, try to edit the video.con file and set the resolution to 1024x768..here is my settings

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 4
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 4
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 4
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 4
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 4
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 4
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 4
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 4
VideoSettings.setResolution 1600x1200@60Hz <----change this..
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing 4
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1.0
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 3

or maybe just rename this file, this should be located on your profile directory and NOT on the programs file directory

Ok -- how do I check the event log (yea I sound crazy eh)....No firewalls, I deleated the profiles and cache....weird huh?

Start->Run->type in 'Eventvwr.msc' and hit enter

Each error and event will be time and date stamped.

Re: I admit it -- I am stumped!!!

here is what I am wondering...with my system, shouldnt I be able to play with the video settings pretty high, without it being choppy? I mean a nvidia 6600 with a pentium d and a gig of ram? what the hell? Is there something wrong with my video card thatI am just not seeing?

Re: I admit it -- I am stumped!!!

Re: I admit it -- I am stumped!!!

Even if it said successfull patching it might have skipped important files, e.g if you previously used a ***** patch that replaced old files, but probably not in your case as you said fresh install.

However when using the zipped patch I'm not sure it generates a patchlog.txt as normal patch does. This is located in \my documents\battlefield 2\dmp. If not there look where you executed the patch from or seach entire harddrive for patchlog.txt

Re: I admit it -- I am stumped!!!

dude -- thats it...I was using a no cd patch, and i looked in the patch log and there were files missing from being patced (core.dll and others)..that is probably the culprit...now -- dp I need a better video card...I mean, why os my game so damn choppy!

Your system will not be able to handle high.

And I can't BELIEVE you failed to mention that you were using a cracked .exe.

I hope your copy is perfectly legal...
