Guest Aggressor Prime Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I have been having a problem with Battlefield 2142 ever since I got my Dell Inspiron 1720. It came with Vista Home Premium x86 but I have since then upgraded to Vista Ultimate x86. The notebook features the Geforce 8600M GT GPU which I believe to be the root of the problem. I can only get drivers from Dell or here since nVidia does not provide them. 101.43 are the latest drivers for my specific notebook, although I found that the XPS M1730 156.61 drivers also work with my notebook and allow me to play BioShock. I have tried a large portion of this website's drivers including 169.69, although the problem I recieve remains the same. I have gone through EA support, nVidia support, and Dell support. None of them could help me. Below is a link to the nVidia thread I posted for this problem. Considering it has been with me during most of this long trial, it should contain almost all the information you will need to have to understand the amount of testing and trials I have done. Nothing works as of yet. Also, as of right now I am fully up to date with Vista updates including hotfixes that require digging and ones that are requested by nVidia to fix any compatiblity/reliability/stability problems. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=42860 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aggressor Prime Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Just tried the new 156.66, no change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aggressor Prime Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 163.75 also does not work. The error involves "RendDX9.dll" I have looked for all possible solutions and none of them work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smax Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 That looks like a DirectX problem, not a video card issue... Is there a way to reinstall DX10? After looking at the other thread, I just think it's a problem with DX10 itself... I can't think of anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aggressor Prime Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have tried reinstalling DX along with earlier versions, doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felini Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I have tried reinstalling DX along with earlier versions, doesn't work. One question.... What is your refresh rate? 59Hz? If so, we both have a problem. I can´t play it either. "BF2142.exe stopped working"... This game runs minimal on 60Hz and i don´t get how should i change my RR because i´m stuck on 59Hz and i can´t change it to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aggressor Prime Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Yes, my refresh rate is 59Hz, although I modified the BF2142 video file to run at 59Hz and BF2142 still doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
