Anyone? I need to figure out to sell the game or not!

 

[Oreo]

Hangon, let me just read the whole of ur DX Diag...


Right then, first off your PC can play BF2 no problem there, although some more ram COULD be helpfull.

But the battlefield series are Notoriously buggy, i went through **** trying to get it to work. And it didnt, and i have a good pc.


I wouldnt waste your time trying to get it to work tbh, get another game.

The only thing you could try is checking you have the latest drivers, and patches for BF2.

Video card must have 128 MB or more memory and one of the following chipsets:

* NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 or greater
* ATI Radeon 8500 or greater

You are trying to play it on your integrated graphics, and that ain't gonna happen. At least not with an Intel chipset it ain't.

 

[Oreo]

O is he playing on Integ... gee that sucks.

 

[dykzeulb]

welll....so what do I need to do? Lol

 

[Preacher]

I new GFX

 

[Trotter]

You need a graphics card. I posted the minimum required cards... anything above that will be better.

The 7600GT series are perfect for BF2, plus they won't break the bank. The ATI equivalent would be the X850XT/X1650XT or better.

8600GT no seriosly its great
