BF2 error

Dale_M · 05-28-2009, 05:53 PM

When I try to load BF2, it loads to a blank screen.. So I decided to make it load in windowed mode so it would display an error if there was any.

I got this error:

I have absolutely NO clue what this means.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FWIW, I'm running an HP DV6401ca laptop.

Tried installing the 1.41 patch, and still the same thing, except now instead of D:\DiceCanada\BoosterPack2, it's D:\Aphrodite\BF2_1.4, rest is the same.

Thing is, there's no such files on my D: drive... My D drive is my backup drive.

Hello
download Revo uninstaller from my sig and use it to remove the game and all its remaining from the registry
get the latest Directx 9.0c from my sig
install it and restart your PC
reinstall the game and all the patches and try it

Alright, getting to work on that now. I'll report back with the results when I'm done!

Doesn't work. Same error. :(

Your laptop uses onboard Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 which supports Pixel Shader 2.0, Vertex Shader 3.0 (Software Transform & Lighting), and DirectX 9.

System Requirements for BF2: http://planetbattlefield.gamespy.com...&id=189&game=4
# 500MHz CPU
# 128 MB of RAM
# 3D accelerated 32 MB video card or equivalent with HW-T&L (Hardware Transform & Lighting) and 24-bit z-buffer

This means that you need to use a proper graphics card that supports the game's advanced graphics features. This is a common problem with laptops that use onboard graphics and are not designed for modern games like BF2.

Oh. Crap. =/

Looks like I'm gonna have to save up some money to get a decent computer...

If you do buy a computer for games, just get a desktop. You'll be able to upgrade it and it it'll cost you 50% less compared to a laptop of the same performance.

Dale_M · 05-31-2009, 07:12 PM

Yeah, the only reason I'm on a laptop is because my old desktop died and my friend was nice enough to give me his laptop til I have some money for a computer.

if you know how to build a computer that is cheaper, if you want to buy a computer...stay away from stuff like ibuypower,cyberpower as they make high end comps with low end parts.

Dale_M · 06-01-2009, 03:42 PM

Yeah, I'm well aware of that. I was planning on just looking used seeing what's out there as I'm a broke and jobeless teenager. >.<

Good, Do you have any money(no offence, I have no job either...jobless teenager too), maybe you can make a basic computer?

Dale_M · 06-01-2009, 03:44 PM

No money at all, but I'm selling off some stuff I don't use... That'll either go to guitar stuff or computer stuff, whatever I'm feeling at the time.
