BF2 Booting up. (For Friend)

Mana Dragon · 10-21-2005, 12:01 AM

I just sent my friend BF2 for his birthday.

He installs it no problem, and tries to play it, it loads a Black Screen, (Like it does for me, and everyone else) but goes right back to desktop. No errors, nothing, nada.

I decided that maybe he just needed an update? I sent him patch 1.03. It's done patching, and still the same thing.

We looked up his video card, under Device Manager, for his Display Adapter, he has an Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller. Does that mean anything? I can't tell how good that is, or what it is. =/

He meets requirements for everything else. His processor speed is above 2.0 GHz, and nice and cooled too, can't figure out the problem.

Any help is well appreciated.

I think we've figured it out. His display memory is 64, but requires 128. Oopsie. Thanks for replying Kyshen.

Intel graphics controller will not play BF2. That is "onboard" graphics! He will need to get a video card! No lower than a FX5500 128MB card!
