Quick Question, Just looking to dig out my old copy of the game, wondering if there are any problems getting it to run on Vista ?

Vista 64
Q6600
8800 GT
4GB G.Skill 8500 ram

thats all you need to know isn't it ?

Will it run okay ?
I've herd whispers of it not working under Vista.

1680 x 1050 is the resolution I game at, will it run at this ?

IIRC BF2 doesn't do widescreen.

Running BF2 with Vista 64 @ 1680x1050

once you install make sure you run BF2 as 'administrator' and right click on your desktop bf2 icon then properties and in the window called 'Target' add this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

Add...

+widescreen 1 +szx 16080 +szy 1050

to the short cut and download/install/run this.

I run it fine under Vista x64, voip and all. Any problems just run it as administrator.

I have BF2 but 4 months ago I ordered the BF2 collection for 7.90ish from a supermarket (there was a thread on this).

It has FINALLY been dispatched

BF2 has worked fine for me in Vista 32 and 64. It gives a message upon installation saying not tested on this OS or something but there are no problems.

It runs just fine, just need to update punk buster:

Anyone know if it runs ok with Windows 7?

Forgive the hijack

I reinstalled this gem yesterday, and can't for the life of me get AA working... anything really stupid I've forgotten?

Tried from in-game and nvcp forced - doesn't want to know.

System/drivers as below.
