@scaz
Yes you are quite correct in what you say but I will have to totally agree with what 'Slon' says.

@luvthegames
I used Google to do a quick search for 'how to play battlefield 2 with DirectX 8'
This site seems to have some useful info.
They also say the program '3DAnalyze' could be helpful. I dont know as I havent had to use it.
Read the whole thread as they talk about possible problems with Punkbuster as you will be technically using a hack to play!

There were other sites in the Google search but I havent looked at them all, I have given you a starting point though.

Good Luck

thanks grumpy
I'll give it go and see how it turns out
I'm not holding my breath though eh
might just have to spring for a new card

[luvthegames]

yeah I just had a good look at that forum
they were saying with the shade hack in
all the colours are all messed up
the tanks are invisible, the ground is white
probably no much fun to play
gonna need a new card I'm thinking
do any other new games have this problem?
does the new star wars one suffer the same problems
or is it just the EA games

[DABhand]

Your Ti Card just isnt good enough, it is not a problem with EA games.


I recomend at least an Nvidia 6200 or higher, or ATI 9800 or higher.

[Slon]

Get a card that is second-generation or older. For example, don't get the 7800 generation, get the 6800 generation for nvidia. You will save lots of money for a comparatively small performance trade off.

[luvthegames]

yeah theres a massive difference in price hey
I just had a quick look on ebay
man massive, like $300 diff
