Possible solution to no buildings

[ConscriptVirus]

Ok im not sure wat caused it to work for me or anything but just read on:
I had just did a full reinstall of the patch and the game and to my dismay..no buildings..and so then i think to myslef...this had wokred in the past..wat did i do differently and a idea popped into my head:

I had used Rivatuner to force 1.4 pixel shaders and 1.1 vertex shaders..so i turned them to no override and it worked...im currently still testing my theory (it worked with no overide..im testing it with just 1.4 shaders)

if this makes no sense its prob wrong..but it worked for me

Re: Possible solution to no buildings

ok guys im now 99% sure that the invisible buildings problem is caused by shaders...i switched between 1.4 and 2.0 pixel shaders and the 1.4 showed invisible buildings and the 2.0 show buildings..

Re: Possible solution to no buildings

Keep going Conscript. Maybe there's hope for the lower end ATI 9000 series users also. I sure hope so because I really wanted to play the game patched and was looking forward to the upcoming add ons.

Re: Possible solution to no buildings

can someone who's experiencing this problem with a ati video card test out my theory? i think for ati u should go to:

http://www.tweakguides.com/ATICAT_9.html

and read about forcing 2.0 shaders or something

What he said. I'll try it, but I'll probably end up deleting my hard drive in the process. :-p

EDIT: After downloading the RAGE3D tweak program, I tried changing the pixel shading to 2.0. Does it work? Um, I don't know, now my computer reboots in the middle of loading any map, so I never got that far. :p I changed the pixel shading back, and it returned to "normal" (no buildings, bad lag).

Re: Possible solution to no buildings

Have you tried what they have suggested above? Forcing Pixel Shaders 2.0?

Re: Possible solution to no buildings

I'll try.

Edit: Nope didn't work. My card isn't supported, by either BF2 and any overclocking software you recommended (I've got an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200).

Re: Possible solution to no buildings

Conscript, how in the world did you ever get BF2 to work with a nVidia Geforce FX 5200 in the first place?

Re: Possible solution to no buildings

So has anyone come up with a solution yet? i think EA just wants us to go and spend a sh#t load of cash just toplay the game- well F@ck them- all we need is for somebody to come up with some kind of solution - i notice its mainly the radeon 9200 series that has the same exact problem.

If anybody coms up with a good way of fixing it or just a thoery please post it before i rip my hair out.


P4 2.0>Window pro sp2.>768mb ram.>radeon 9250 128mb> agp 8x.

P.S. keep in mind that i could play just fine before the 1.2 patch -its f@cked up the way its supposd to make the game look better-well I cant even play it now..... dammit im having bf2 withdrawls:p :p :p
