Battlefield 2 Demo LIVE

Uh, go play BF:V again. Not only does this game look better, its engine runs 100% better than BF:V on the same hardware.

I can run it on HIGH with AA perfectly smooth. BF:V was chugging at the same settings and looked worse.

Thats good to hear. I noticed BFV ran kind of shitty for me when I had high AA, despite all other games running fine for me.

1200*900, 4xAA

seems pretty smooth, i get occasional stutters though
 
wow game is awesome.. I have to run it at pretty crap settings but I get 60+ fps (I have radeon x300se, p4 3.0ghz, 1gb ddr2 ram) and had great fun..
 
dfi nf3 250 gb
a64 clawhammer (1mb cache) 3200 @ 2300mhz
1gig ocz at 460mhz 2-3-3-6
x800xt pe
120 gig ide maxtor


(fairly high end)

i actually think the stutters im getting are either due to my hd beeing slow/messy or due to my ram beeing overloaded
im gonna try cleaning my startupfolder and defragging my hd

Why the hell they leave out support for this card?

I know, if I recall correctly around 10%-15% of people playing HL2 use a Radeon 9200!! Thats a pretty big group of people. I bet it will be the same for BF2. But I won't be one of them for quite a while :(.
 
Well this sucks. After spending too long configuring everything, it seems I can't play BF2. There is some bug or something that when I connect to a server, it starts loading the map and then locks up my PC at 28-29% every single time. Bah.

Thats awful. I had a similar problem with CS on some maps. A format and reinstallation of everything fixed it.
 
it takes it a long long time to "re organize" shaders if you change video settings. I thought it got stuck at 46%, but after 2-3 minutes, it did finish out, and it's faster loading from then on. Could that be your problem?
 
Well, I thought maybe that was the problem, but I just let the thing sit for about 15-20 minutes, and it was still stuck in the same place. I think the program just locked up. I'm going to try uninstalling it and reinstalling it now.
 
Anyone know the file that stores key mapping? Can't seem to locate it (doesn't seem to be config-keys.def), and the in-game mapping is borked.

Heh, this Windows installation is only about 18 hours old right now.

I also experienced some problems with the key mapping. One particular problem was that I was trying to assign 'x' to something, yet the damn thing was telling me that 'x' was currently being used in the "boat" controls. Well, I was in the boat controls to begin with, and there was nothing being used by 'x'.
 
Played abit today. Good fun so far. Vehicles are very important. The flying stuff is hard to handle and once you do you'll be shot down fast. Once you die you respawn so death isnt too bad here. :lol Good fun overall. Need to learn alot of basics yet. Its very large scale which is impressive. :) Probably buy this. Its easier to get into than CS. I played badly the first 3 rounds but after that i racked up afew nice kills putting me in top 10.
 
Runs great on my XP 2800+, 1GB of RAM, and 9800 Pro at 1280x960.

The game is phenominal when you're in a good squad with a good leader. Fun stuff.
 
P4 2.6
512MB RAM
ATI 9700 128MB

Runs butter smooth on medium @ 1024 x768

Will try higher stuff later. Calling it a day.

Im running everything on high, but i dont think thats the problem as the frame rate seems fine when the game is ACTUALLY MOVING.

GAME IS UNPLAYABLE.

The ram requirements are way too high.

Try turning down texture resolution and draw distance. It really did wonders for my performance. Seriously, from about 5 fps to ~25.

I'm not using the latest ATi driver for the record. Does the new one help R9700?

Worth a shot i suppose..

BTW is there anyway to get rid of the annoying front end screens when starting the game? They are really starting to shit me.

Yeah, I was ok so long as I was moving straight forward, but if I tried to spin around the game would almost lock up for about 2 seconds. I figured it was because the textures were thrashing on my 128 mb card. Turning the texture detail down to medium, the lighting down to medium, and the draw distance down to 80 really helped.
 
I'm trying to install windows service pack 1 so that I can play this game, but during installation I get this error message:
1330 A file that is required cannot be installed because the cabinet file has an invalid digital signature. This may indicate that the cabinet file is corrupt.

Does anyone know what the fuck I can do to fix this?
 
Still downloading here, if anyone wants to add me to their xfire lists (Aussies in particular, due to pings) my tag is 'suteraida'.
 
Little CS bitches playing the demo were trying to kick me for being too good:

i can run the game on high settings and it's pretty damn playable but it takes way tooooooo long to load. i run it at medium and it's silky smooth. runs much better then vietnam and feels smoother then 1942.
 
Any public distrobution servers cool down yet? I couldn't get anything faster than 40K/sec earlier.
 
I'm a flip-flopper.. I've now fallen in love with the game again. I thought, "No way in hell AA will work on this PC".. well, I can run 1280x960 w/2xAA on High (Shadows on medium) pretty damn good. AA makes a world of difference with this game. It now looks beautiful.

Anyone run into this or know what the hell it's talking about?

I had the exact same problem. I even tracked down that .dll and installed it, and it still kicked me back to desktop. Uninstalled BF2, reinstalled it, same thing.

I agree with that, Pest. Initially the game looked pretty bad, but once I turned on AA, it looks 100x better. Fuckin AWESOME! WAY better than that shit called Vietnam.
 
2800+, 1GIG, 9800pro.

I never use AA and always 1024x768. Was a slideshow with everything maxed, I think it was the lighting. I took everything but effects to medium and it runs pretty nice now, still looks pretty damn nice, and shadows are still dynamic, dunno what high does.

With that said, game rocks. I might have to buy it, but I just started GTASA XBX.

No strafing while using sprint now, suck. It is harder to control vehicles in 3rd peron now. The camera seems less locked to the vehicle, can't race around in the buggy like a madman with skill unless in 1st person.

Is the commander mode turned off in the demo? Like the "true" commander mode? I was it, but all I could do is place ammo and artillery and navs while playing as a soldier, kinda gay. Nevermind, just saw the screenshot, how the hell do you switch to commander mode while being the commander?

They voted for a mutiny when I shot artillery at the ship. I hate how you don't know who the hell is on what team unless you hover over them for a while. So hard to tell between the sides. But it has always been like this in BF.
 
I notice it is not in the supported list....but anyone running this with a 6600GT? I have one of the listed cards in my other system if need be, but I prefer my 6600GT system :)
