Be sure to load the video drivers that came with the game. I had the same problem with the nes nvidia drivers.

I'll try that, thanks

Thank you, it worked. It just baffled me because 1.0 and 1.01 worked with the newest drivers, yet the new one didn't. Oh well, doesn't really matter what version it is, as long as it works. Thanks again.

 

On the topic of drivers, the Omega Drivers for ATi cards seemed to boost the cards ability to perform in the Half-Life, Source, and Battlefield engines (all that I've tested). Has anyone tried the Nvidia Omega drivers? I heard good things about them, but I don't know anyone who actually uses them. If you never heard of it, here's the site http://www.omegadrivers.net/. For ATi, it worked flawless in my older machine with a 9800xt, just gotta remove the old drivers of course. In CS: Source, my fps on de_tides went from 40 average to 110 average at 1024x768 with high settings, vsync off, and aa off. Like I said, I never used the omega nvidia drivers before.

imma try those drivers, mebbe my bf2 will decide to run without locking up after 10 minutes.

You mean TEK you're not using the BF2 Drivers?

 

mumbles into a corner and turns red.

You've got to be kidding.

and no my bf2 still is borked

that's y i was goin to try these older drivers.

 

they didnt work either.

I run an X800XT PE and use the Omega drivers. Ever since the last 2 patches the game has ran better for me.

I used the drivers that came with teh disk, but still froze. I tried the omega drivers and to my delight, bf2 still froze.

 

Just tried em for the hellvait

Oh Well. Drivers can lock a system.

 

There must be something we missed.

I've used Omega ones before, but then some CS update started giving me weird errors about not being able to run in my selected display mode. Using nVidia 66.93 ones right now.

Have you been booting to safe mode so no drivers load. 9Becasue any drivers in use won't be overwritten or removed). Then removing from add/remove list anything related to previous video. Then rebooting normally which should be automatically with standard vga video drivers from windows cd. Then installing video drivers from bf2 cd. Then rebooting. Checking device manager sound, video, network devices to be sure they not sharing irq or anything ?

Did you check to see if anything is clogged. Even better, check your fans with your case open.Or has this already been stated?
