June 18, 200520 yr Ok a friend of mine gave me this link, this 'aperantly' fixes BF2 not starting on Gfx cards that only have Pixel Shaders 1.3 Again I haven't tested this (BF2 worked from the start) so take the info as given http://www.forumplanet.com/planetbattlefield/topic.asp?fid=13392&tid=1669738 [DIAL]Doc
June 18, 200520 yr Hey Doc you Roc. I can't find the fix there in any of the 39 pages of thread. I guess in order to run this BF II I need a 26 inch LCD monitor and a ergonomic chair and a USB mic and headset and I have to paint my pc room pink in order for this game to work. That sucks!!!!
June 18, 200520 yr Author Hello guys Ok Klink not sure why it didn't work for you but that's a copy of the post... Edited by fbi on Jun 10 2005 7:28PM (3 times) Ok, I finally figured out how to fix that damn crash to desktop error when using a GF4TI card. 1) download the Microsoft Framework, do a search on google (+download +microsoft framework) 2) download DXTweaker: http://mrbauer.net/files/dxtweaker.rar 3) Extract to a folder on desktop 4) Run DXTweaker, and goto "New" on the right 5) Point it to your root BF2 EXE (in your EA Sports\battlefield 2\ DIR) 6) Check the 2 boxes that contain 'SHADER' , one is FORCE PP SHADER OTHER IS PS SHADER or something of that sourt 7) Click Apply, and then click RUN on the top. It will launch the game with no problems and you will be playing very smoothly! I just wish EA and DICE would have included a simple pixel shader 1.2 include but w/e, this will be suffice for now. Happy gaming all!, any questions IM me on AIM @ no but because or email me: devivo@gmail.com Now I hope this will help [DIAL]Doc
