*gta star* Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 You should get it installed again, or if you have it installed, start playing more often ! It's still fun.

*gta star* Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 My graphics are set to high, but if I go on a mates computer, and they are on low or something, I play so sh*t. Â I'm used to my computer, and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmachine Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Does anyone know how to make the bot count larger? I simply want more action . And, did you know a great sniping/camping spot on FuShe Pass? There is an old house with some barriers around it. It is on a mountain. When driving from the Island to West Mine Entrance, go up hill road. There will be the house, and you can stay there forever (if you play with bots).

Edmachine Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) I downloaded Highway Tampa thing, and installed it. I ran BF2, but the maps don't show there. I patched (again), but still nothing. Also, I installed Armored forces and Euro forces (the first exp. packs, if those names are wrong), the maps showed up, but I'm not able to play them. Though, I am more concerned about the first thing. Maybe I did something wrong? Â EDIT: Today, when I played FuShe Pass, I used my sneaky tactic, and hid in the mountains, and sniped the enemies. In the end, I was the only one alive (from my team, though ), and, well, I lost. Like I could capture a flag with just going there... Also, I had only one death in total and around 50 kills .

Edmachine Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Does anyone know why I can't get Highway Tampa maps to play? They don't show up. Also, I can't play Expansion Pack maps, says I need to buy them, but once I got them playing . But that was a long time ago... Anyone else having this?

Well it can depend on how you installed the game, it can affect how the maps and the game work, the best sequence to do it in is  BF2 BF2 1.41 Full Patch BF2 Special Forces BF2 1.41 Full Patch.. again BF2 Euro Forces/Armoured Fury BF2 1.41 Full Patch... again BF2 Highway Tampon  If you don't have Special forces skip to Installing Euro Forces / Armoured Fury (Either or both, depends on what you have), if you don't have anything then install BF2, the Patch to 1.41 then install Highway Tampax.  How did you have the Expansions before, were they downloaded via EA Link (or EA Downloader) if you did then re-download them again.

jimmy. Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) I just got this game. Best 10 bucks I ever spent. I use a reaaally old gamespy account I made when I was 12. Wingo187. I don't know what a wingo is anymore, to be honest, if it ever actually meant something, but that's ok. If there is a game being organized whenever, shoot me a PM since I have been playing frequently. I'm mediocre. Â Does the game lag frequently for everyone else on high settings? Is there an easy way to get it to run faster? I find that 90% of servers give me considerable lag when I run on high graphics settings, even though I have a 6 month old system with dual Intel Core 2 2.16 ghz processors, which I thought would be good enough to run a 2 year-old game. I get little lag now that I turned the draw distance and textures down a bit. Â PS: Do we still have a private GTAF server? Edited January 21, 2008 by jimmy.

Mercie Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 BF3 - This will more than likely be DX10? Or could it be DX9 compatible too? My understanding is that, as of right now, DX10 is a huge failure. All of this lies on Microsoft too. Note that as we speak, MS is making (or has finished) DX10.1 which cannot be utilized by any DX10 card (you know, the ones that are $300-$800). In addition, one must run Vista to use DX10. Vista chews up any available resources leaving sh*t for the game. Case in hand: Crysis. Using XP, I can run Crysis on the highest setting with max resolution (1920x1200) with 16xq anti aliasing with additional video settings forced (light rays, refraction, motion blur) with a third party application all at a wonderful 45 frames per second. Then when I installed and played it on my Vista partition, I find myself lucky to play on low/medium over 30 fps. This is given that I have a Q6600, 8800Ultra, 2 Gigs of ram and a Raid0 Volume running at 14,400 RPM.  So yeah. DX10 blows. Its environment blows. And MS has allready made it obsolete. And in addition to all that, companies want noting more to do with it due to DX10.1 as no one is going to shell out another $800 for a brand new top of the line card for some forced AA and no available mip-mapping. And at what cost? Of course there is a crowd that says DX10 is more optimized, but Ill believe it when I see it first hand. I think the $300 and less versions of Vista need to support more than 3.25 GB of Ram before it will eat up most of it. I know its the difference between 32 and 64 bit, but still. I have 2x2GB in my laptop here and now Vista thinks its a Media Center PC with 3GB of Ram. At least XP sees another wuarter gig  Just a small rant/comment.

TheTank Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The lag might also be caused by Your graphics card, and of course internet speed, and where the server is located. Try to find servers near where You live (e.g. same country where You live) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy. Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Â The lag might also be caused by Your graphics card, and of course internet speed, and where the server is located. Try to find servers near where You live (e.g. same country where You live) My desktop replacement has a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS card. That isn't a very dated piece of equipment, so I'm sure it's good enough to run the game, but there may be some tweak with the settings that could make it run better. My network is fast. I went to Speedtest.net, and the ping was 20 ms, download was 83 mb/s, upload was 1.2 mb/s, so as far as my limited knowledge with computers goes, it's probably not my connection. The only thing else I can think of is that I'm using Vista and I've heard some things may run more slowly in it, or the other possible explanation is that I have a limited amount (<2 gb) free space on my C drive. I would guess a good number of servers are located in my country (US), but I still have the problem with almost all of them. Any further ideas?

This is given that I have a Q6600, 8800Ultra, 2 Gigs of ram and a Raid0 Volume running at 14,400 RPM. You need new drivers then, I ran Crysis at low on 1024x720 (Or w/e it is) with a 6800GS, Athlon XP 2600+ a 7200rpm IDE133 drive and 1Gb ram on Vista, and I got 35fps minimum. Â And 10.1 can be used by DX10 cards, its just a slight shader update i think. Â And with your ram problem, get x64 for it all to show up, I bet if you kept reinstalling Vista and XP, Vista might end up showing up to 3.5Gb and XP go down to 3Gb, its the luck of the draw.
