constant crashses

[malushi88]

it may just be my video card, but everytime i launch the game it crashes. It wont even let me view the pre-game movies. i have a visiontek ti4200 128mb card. it is only dx8 compatable shaders and stuff. however, i heard you can tack a small command at the end of the executable to make it run. you add -dircextx something or other and it disables some features. does anyone know such a command?
will the game work with a 6600gt?

Re: constant crashses

your card sucks, it's probably causing the problem and a 6600gt will run the game good

Re: constant crashses

ok, is it possible to play the game at all with a card that supports only up to directx8 hardware features?

Re: constant crashses

Sry mate time for an upgrade. The ti 4200 only supports shader model 1.4.
BF2 requires shader model 2.0 or higher. Get a x800Gt or 6600gt for best bang for buck.

Re: constant crashses

When the game first came out some people tried to produce a mod to allow BF2 to work with the TI 4200 but it was never finished so an upgrade if your only option.
