For all you ATI Radeon 9200SE users here is a heads up for ya. I recently got the Battlefield 2 demo which should have worked fine on my pc. Except for the fact that EA doesnt tell you that BF2 does not work right with that GFX card even though its in the supported gfx cards list. Another reason to hate EA: Battlefield 2, supposedly being able to run on the Radeon 9200SE, crashed my pc everytime I started the game up on every driver I tried with the game. Finally the game decided to corrupt my graphics drivers as trigger my VPU recover which decided to crash my computer again. I now have to run on integrated graphics thanks to EA's shit fuck game.

I don't know if this was a problem on just my computer but my friend had the same problem as me with the Radeon 9200SE. Just a heads up for you 9200SE users to think about when getting this game/demo.

On a side note:

The offial list is as following

Battlefield 2 only supports the following video cards:
Radeon X700 (PCIe)
Radeon X600 (PCIe)
GeForce 6600 (PCIe)
GeForce PCX 5900 (PCIe)
GeForce 5800 Series (AGP)
ATI Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition
ATI Radeon X800 PRO
ATI Radeon 9800 Series
ATI Radeon 9600 Series
ATI Radeon 9550 (RV350LX)
ATI Radeon 9500 / 9700 Series
ATI Radeon 8500 Series
ATI Radeon X300 Series
NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra
NVidia GeForce 6800 GT
NVidia GeForce 6800
NVidia GeForce FX 5950 Series
NVidia GeForce FX 5900 Series

My 6600 GT isn't there but it works great...but that's a new card.

Also just browsing I found this http://www.eaplay.com/southafrica/community/messageboards/ga me/battlefield2/thread/11021/?pg=last
The one guy mentions changing it to 4X which may help you. Google is your friend on this one.

Thanks for pulling that list up. So all I can say now is 9200SE users DO NOT get BF2. But seriously, EA, sucks. Also on that link you gave me, its too bad mines not AGP, its PCI. :/

Your card doesn't have the right shaders, I don't see how you having a card with old technology is their fault..

It has nothing to do with shaders. It hasa to do with the graphics accelerator.

Let me give you a rundown on how I'm seeing this.

You Installed Battlefield 2 without checking supported GFX Cards.
The game doesn't support your GFX Card and corrupts your drivers.
You blame EA for your fault.

End. This should be locked.

Wasn't talking to you asswipe, I replied on EA's list of working graphic cards. Now don't pick on me because you're pissed on something you did yourself.

Maybe next time you should qoute who you are talk to. I thought you were talking to me. Sorry about that no hard feelings.

And yes as I have said multiple times I posted this to give a heads up to ATI Radeon 9200SE users. Must be a crime around here to warn people about these things.

Well grafix cards are so cheap these days, just check out ebay or other internet sites for bargains.

Hell i managed to find a nVidia Geforce FX 5600 for just £20 2nd hand and with no problems with running BF2!!

So keep an eye out and good luck.

I doubt I am going to buy a new GFX card just to run a EA games demo...yet alone buy a used one. Thanks for the idea though.

No.

I haven't seen an engine as bad as the one in BF2 since Extreme Paint Brawl. On a machine that can tear through HL2 with the settings maxed, I have to scale down detail on BF2 and I still have to put up with subpar performance.
