After 1.12, graphic slowdown ... help

[Mayflower]

I have a (dont laugh) FX5200 128mb

Before the patch I run the game very smoothly with Effect and geometry on MED and Dynamic light on LOW.

now after the patch, the game lag even when geometry is on LOW.

wth happened ? I just dont know why they changed the graphic requirement.

I too have an FX5200 128mb. Same exact issue as you describe. I'm able to play vanilla BF2 ok, but can't get SF to run at a framerate higher than 15-20. You do realize, though, that the readme and the side of the box say that BF2 doesn't support the FX5200...
I suppose we should consider ourselves lucky we can play vanilla BF2 at all with this card...

nope...this is a bug with the 1.12 patch that EA doesn't seem to want to acknoledge. The FPS locks itself at 15/66 and makes you stutter like there is no tomorrow...I'm guessing either another memory leak brought on by the patch or another problem >.>

so if I add another 512 mb of ram or maybe if I change a vid card will solve this issue ?

My performance has dropped a bit with the patch, same 6600GT and same settings.
