I'll let it speak for itself, and remember guys, this is still just the beta.

nice BF2 as always sux lol that crappy cant run even in xp

[Kunaak]

its a good start.
hopefully they get alot closer to 95% compatible with current games...

[ocmyface]

sad to hear about windows 98 and earlier games. not a loss for 99% of gamers.

also, dont read the comments, those people are morons

thats BS would you tell me a 4400 2gb ram a 7800gtx and Xfi its a bad computer? they are full of bugs in fact i think its a bug with a game in it....

[nn_step]

meh who needs vista?

[TyroPyro]

Lol @ Rise of Nations not working :)

IMHO that's pretty good for this stage of development though. For a total driver model and kernal overhaul, it's very backwards compatible

meh who needs vista?

I DO :fact:

[[cTx]Philosophy]

I do too, but if bf2 dont work then im not hapy, My main gam,es are americas army bfr2 oblivion and D&D online stormreach.. A few others I frequent also but there my main ones, if vista dont run these properly thats gonna suck

vienna FTW

I reckon that should you use the stand-alone Punkbuster updater, you could get BF2 to work. Saves you the hassle of tinkering with those html files and awkward installation process, or updating through the game itself.

I know I can't live without it anymore. (also had trouble with PB on Win2K & XP)

[Mortal]

Fallout 2 worked fine, but Baldurs Gate 2 didn't? Shucks!

That's now officially my biggest reason to keep XP on one of my machines! :p:

[Baldrick]

Pity WOW still works. :(

What kind of 2gb memory? DDR or DDR2?

~Mike

it doesnt matter, 2gb should be enough for BF2. theres no way you can pass it off as a quality made game. youre kidding yourself otherwise. EA chopped your DICE off when you bought that game

[arisythila]

Well with DDR2-1120 I have no problems running it... Maybe its your slow DDR....

~Mike

[[XC] leviathan18]

~Mike
ddr500 corsair its stupid to think is because the mem is slow.... its a POS game with bad programing, the BW generated by DDR isnt used in 939 less in am2 so forget about it


everyone knows and accepts the game is full bug unless of course you work in the programing team and you are trying to justify the mediocre work they done....

[Repoman]

Well with DDR2-1120 I have no problems running it... Maybe its your slow DDR....

~Mike

That's foolish, on 939 there's no noticable difference in gaming between 150mhz and 300mhz ram..

[arisythila]

Inferior 939.... time to upgrade to AM2

[Turok]

Inferior 939.... time to upgrade to AM2

ummm... you're still inferior with AM2 because of Conroe :stick:
(while AMD's K8L, 4x4, AM3 CPUs are not out and performance is unknown, of course)

AM2's performance gain over s939 isnt that great either, so its not like you're WAY superior :nono:

I must be lucky, I've upgraded many times and never had any problems with BF2..... your just so unlucky.

Well, poop. I'll have an XP machine running for the next few years at least, in addition to a vista machine
