Re: Battlefield 2 Client Patch v1.12 Released

Well after running 1.12 for a few days I've gotten nasty little problems too. I have a special dual-6600-on-one-card SLi card from Gigabyte. It was fine until 1.12 now the graphics go nuts after awhile. First I get horrible video lag, then the machine hard freezes and goes into some loop trying to drop in and out of DirectX 3d mode (flashes all black then very dark grey over and over). Sometimes before it does this it'll start making textures and objects disappear, turn black or white, etc.

I decided to hit Gigabyte's site and get the original drivers for this card. Screw the 81.xx series, worst drivers ever (or BF2 is just exceptionally hard on this card and driver). I may try to play Special Forces again to see if the framerate still sucks since I went back to the 77.72 drivers.

Re: they did it

oh, if you get the you need at least 3000m of free disk space error, its cause you have a partitioned hard drive, and your c drive isnt big enough(this happened when i installed my bf2 onto my mates comp, i just made the partioned c:// bigger)

Just wanted to add a fix for alot of people that have been having trouble patching the game. The stupid patch looks at a windows registry key to see how much free space you have.....

Glad I came to the totalbf2 forums first to look for the answer.
Thanks so much afrosheen for posting this work around. :)

Whoa.. so hey ive just started playing bf2 again, and ive been downloading the patch for a full 8 hours already! and its only 52.6mb!! Its downloading from EA aswell! I have a 2mb connection too.

It seems everytime a patch is released, it increases in size, so will that mean that patch 4.00 or something like that will have a file size of like ****ing 2GB!!!

I mean cmon EA! what do they expect people to do... My computer is gonna need a vacation from downloads after this...
