Problems running BF2

miracleboy · 3 Apr 2006 at 11:09

I have a problem with BF2 - I just installed it, so haven't actually played the game yet, but when I get into the login menus it's fine for a few seconds and then pauses for a few seconds (where I can move the mouse but not click on anything) and this cycle continues.

Any ideas?

My setup is X2 4800+, XTX1900, 2GB RAM, all latest drivers etc. BF2 patched to 1.22 I think.

It's okay I eventually found it - apparently this was an issue on the old version of the BIOS on the Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe - an upgrade to 0311 will resolve it hopefully.

Sorry to sound dumb, but how do you do that Yewen? Is this telling BF2 to only use one core - and does this affect performance? :confused:

Yeah I am trying to upgrade to 0311 now, but the Asus Update program keeps telling me it failed, no Asus MB found. I think it might be a conflict with my XFi card reading on the Asus forums.

Yeah thanks - I upgraded from floppy - will try BF2 out tonight when I get in from work.

I know - the motherboard manual is wrong! The correct filename doesn't have the dash as you say.

I have another problem now (as is always the way with computers!) - when I doubleclick the BF2 icon, I get the BF2 logo screen and then it just goes back to the desktop (about 2 seconds from click to back to desktop).
