Thought i'd give BF2 a shot...

Installed it, but when playing the game, huge polygon shapes on the screen.. Sometimes playable, sometimes they're coming out of my gun and i can't see a thing!

Q6600
Asrock 4core dual sata
2gb DDR2 ram
256mb 3850

GPUz shows card goes upto 57 degrees at load

Updated to latest ATI drivers, as well as latest BF2 patch, still no luck

Any ideas?
 
If it's Vista, you're out of luck.

The Battlefield series have a whole lot of glitches and oddities when working with Vista. EA Support will go as far as to strictly deny you any help or advice if you approach them over it.
 
I've been playing BF2 on Vista for the past day or two and it's been fine.

If you've got overclocked hardware then it's most likely that, BF2 doesn't like it one bit.
 
have you any other glitches on any other games? What size monitor do you have? and at what resolution are you running?
 
Bioshock etc works perfectly

Only a 17" monitor, tried it at every resolution with artifacts in all of them

all settings in CCC are default
 
i went straight from auto-install drivers when the card was installed, to downloading the latest ones from ati website

they seemed to install fine without a hitch
 
try uninsatlling them and reinstalling them, have you got any screenshots so we can see what sort of gfx errors they are?
 
Did you clear the cache when you uninstalled (delete the C:\Documents and Settings\Nikunj\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2)? Problems with this have been known to cause glitches like shiny sandbags, so I don't see why they couldn't cause artifacts and other corruption.
 
Is it an asus card? I know that they install a "video enhancer" with the original CD that causes similar issues, updating drivers wont resolve. It's in device manager and can be un-installed.

Just a thought
 













It's driving me mad! Alt-tabbing out of the game gets rid of it for a second, then it's back
 
Try earlier drivers. When I had an ati card a while back some driver sets would produce the gfx errors the pics show.
