(master) Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) Hi everybody, on my Dell XPS m1530 with a GeForce 8600M GT, Battlefield 2 doesn't work. I have got WinVista 32bit and already checked the WinXp compatibility option on the .exe and launched it with admin rights. And i also updated my video card drivers with WinVista 32 bit 169.09 drivers found on this website. My LCD screen refresh at 63hz. but NOTHING! it comes back to desktop. Take a look at my System Requirement Labs ANALISYS: please help me understanding these informations. thanks. :-( Edited January 22, 2008 by (master) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 BF2 was specifically programmed to only run on certain cards. (now old) That is why I never bought it, they screwed us GF4 users as well as owners of cards that came out after the game. Maybe if you use a 100 series driver it might work. Otherwise I think you will need a patch. Could also just be incompatible with Vista, if you install on an XP partition it may run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C90 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I had the same Problem with my Asus C90s and Vista 32 bit. You have to open the Battlefield 2 icon ,where you can start it with WinXp compatibility and change "...\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 into +fullscreen 0 and Battlefield 2 starts in window mod. Now you get an error report and you can identify the problem. My problem was the solution which canĀ“t be shown in Battlefield 2 and i fixed it in my profile in my Documents.

Guest C90 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 ThatĀ“s the same problem, i have. You have to go in your own Documents. There must be a folder with the name Battlefield 2 and than Profiles. In my there is another folder with the name default with the video.con. Open this file with the editor and change the resolution into 1024x768@60Hz. If you have another folder in your Profiles do the same with the video.con, otherwise Battlefield 2 will start and run until you try to start your account. If itĀ“s work you can start battlefield 2 in normal mode with changing to +fullscreen 1 and change the graphics options in the Battlefield 2 menu to any setting which you want. As I can see you have a laptop and with a little modification you can play in 16:10 fullscreen by adding after +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 800 for an resolution of 1280*800 for example or any other resolution which you want.

Alanchau Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hello, well i have tried everything to make battlefield 2 work on my notebook. i have the latest drivers for my 8600M GT and the latest battlefield 1.41 patch but it still crashes when i start the game, with no error message. i have tried to rewrite the video.con file to fit my 59Hertz. but i believe that is soley the problem. Battlefield only, as i heard works for monitors with a refresh rate of 60hertz. i have been diggin up information back to 2005 which people had the same problem and fixed it with forcefresh and other programs that will force a refresh rate of 60hertz but the programs are so outdated and was meant for windows xp. please someone help me so that i can play battlefield 2 and project reality. custom notebook Geforce 8600M GT driver: nVIDIA ForceWare X 162.52 for Windows Vista 64bit Windows vista 64 bit 4gb ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest (Frustrated) Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I have the same problem. I've tried forced refresh and I just get a standard error report (when I open it windowed). Much the same system specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STADI Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 i have the same problem. If i connect a external Monitor (15" CRT 1024x768), the Videocard switched to 2. Standard Monitor, and it works., an BF2 starts. The Secound Monitor screens 60hz. But the first (my Notebookmonitor) screens 59hz. The same Notebookmonitor screens with WindowsXP 60hz. It could be only a Driverproblem. Did anyone know, why i can copy the "WindowsXP-Standard-Monitor-Driver" ? (where are it saved in XP ? ) Then i could copy it to WindowsVista.... greets Stadi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
