Battlefield 2 Does your notebook work??

I didn't notice much of a difference. I run 1024x768, all high, no AA and get around 70FPS. (Desktop, of course)

 

Does anyone think the Special Forces pack is worth it? I heard it wasn't no where near as good as the new Armored Fury.

 

Special Forces was worth it, just for the new weapons! AF is good, only because of the ability to fight on American soil.

 

Acer Aspire 1694 WLMi

Works with nearly all details to max at native resolution

 

Dell XPS M1210
Intel Core Duo T7200 2.0 GHz
2GB DDR2 SDRAM @ 667MHz
NVIDIA GeForce Go7400
80GB SATA @7200 RPM

How well will BF2 run? Near to highest settings?

 

I don't know... it should run around your native resolution, with details around Medium-High, no AA. This is also all depends on what you call "playable". Some people can handle 30FPS. Me, I need at least 50 or so.

 

I can play BF2 on all medium settings.

HEL80
7600
2gb PC5300 DDR2 ram
7200 hitachi 60gig hdd
Core Duo 2ghz

 

I have the same card, except a 1.66Ghz CD instead of 2ghz, and only 1gig of ram. I can run BF2 at 1024x768, most options on med-high but AA and shadows off. Get about 50fps.

 

My m1210 (1gig ram, 7400) can play it well on medium, but there is some weird driver problem that makes it crash on anything higher than low...

 

Use an other driver version.

BF2 plays best with 2gigs of RAM, I ordered another gig for me.

 

Battlefield 2 runs fine on my laptop, but I do need to change the processor. The TL60 costs $300-400 and as stupid as it sounds, it seems that you can upgrade the AMD TL50 to TL60 on my laptop (use the same socket).

I can run the game with everything on high and the shadows and lighting on medium settings. I get 40-60 fps with 1280x800 resolution (but I do recommend 800x600 if everything high and playing online).

 

Hello

I have an Acer Aspire 1600 P4 2,6 Ghz with 1Go Ram PC3300 and Radeon Mobility 9000 64Mo and 120 Go Seagate 5400 RPM and BF2 runs 'correctly' but with the smallest resolution and details.

i was wondering if i could run battlefield 2 smooth and all hight.
HP pavilion dv6000t notebook

intel core 2 duo 2.0GHz

Those are my specs i just want to run Battlefield 2 can you give an answer ASAP?

 

Check the stickied guide at the top of this forum. There is a lot of helpful info in there.

delta707, you posted that question three times in three separate threads. We don't allow that and no one wants to see the same question all over the place. Thanks.

 

It should run on low-medium settings, for BF2 2gigs of RAM really helps.
If you get 2gigs of RAM then I would say medium-medium high settings.

 

im not suprised..

 

It ran ok, I had to resort to medium settings. But IMO Battlefield Vietnam is more enjoyable anyway.

when i try to load bf2142 it goes to a black screen and crashes does anyone have advice to help solve this?

 

Your graphics card is integrated and not dedicated. You will not be able to play BF2142 on your laptop. I am sorry. The system requirements are here.

what o you mean?

 

This thread explains the different graphics cards very good. However I will give you a brief overview of what it says.

Basically there are two types of graphics cards: Integrated graphics cards and dedicated graphics cards.

Integrated graphics cards use the same ram that you system uses and they are not very powerful.

Dedicated graphics cards on the other hand have their own ram and are much more powerful in comparison.

BF2142 can't work with an integrated card. You need a dedicated graphics card for this game to work. The problem is it is impossible to upgrade your graphics card.
Tim

 

ohhh ok thank you do you think intel will they and fix this problem or should i just return the game?

 

There's no way you are going to be able to play that game on an Intel integrated graphics card. It's not something that can be 'fixed' by Intel . . . that's just the way it is. So yes, return the game if you can. Tim made a great post up there so listen to what he says.

 

I have an x200m, a fairly resonable Integrated Graphics setup and it just can't run battlefield 2 playably. You get 10-15fps during normal play and it skips jumps and lags like nothing else.

I'd say you need a minimum of X1300 or go 7300 for BF2.

 

Meh i could play bf2 on a 256mb 6200 agp card on mediums settings and 800x600 res. Though it was only 1gb of ram but it wasnt an integrated card.

 

well my x200m can run smoothly in lowest settings with 512mb of system memory

 

yea my integrated 6150 256mb, with the fsb overclocked to 242mhz works like a charm in bf2. All settings set to medium, res 800x600, get 30-37fps sometimes in large battles with lots of nades going off it drops to 22-25fps but still playable.

 

Will BF2 work on this laptop? what settings will i get?

1g RAM
2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
ATI Mobility Radeon x1600 128MB

 

Medium Settings, if you get another gig of RAM you should get high settings.

 

Yeah, BF2 is very RAM-intensive, so another Gig would see a great improvement in performance. But, you should still be able to play BF2 well with your laptop.

 

For whatever reason I cant run BF2 with decent stable 35+ FPS on mostly high settings and 2xAA with my specs

 

I had an X200, with a Sempron 3000+ and 1Gb of DDR-266 ram. I got by on low settings fine, I didn't have fraps installed so I couldn't tell you precisely what fps it was running at, but the game was totally smooth. But, again, only on low settings.

 

Heh, I use Radeon x1400, 2 GB RAM, 2.0GHz Duo Core 2 processor, and I get around fine.

 

what settings?

 

I have an HP dv9000t series and it runs BF2142 at max settings... i get a lag when an air strike is directly or relatively close by. and/or on huge servers.... IDK why tho, it really shouldnt too much... overall tho I runs VERY smooth.

 

Just have a question about bf2, i just bought it and i can run it with everything on max when i play offline, thats no probs, but as soon as i go online and there are anything over 6 ppl near me, it starts lagging, the fps will drop from 70-90 to 30-50 and there are a lot of hickups, like having ping 300+ or something...

My specs are in my sig... but can it really be right that i cant do better with out getting 2 gb ram ?

 

Is your hard drive activity light blinking or lit up when the slow downs occur? If so, then you have an issue with RAM. Shut down any unnecessary background processes for starters.

 

You need 2gigs to play on high settings smoothly

 

Now i even tryed putting it down to all med settings, tho still with 1440*900 res, but it is still lagging, tho mostly only at the start of a map...

But yes, the hd light is flashing, but it dosent seems to be heavly loaded, as its only flashing as it would in any other games... i tryed having windows looking for peak memory use while playing, and it rated it as about 700 mb ram, which i do have free, so i dont see why it should still studder ? :S

 

Now i tryed using another "Competition setting" for bf2, and it works better, also i downed the res from 1440*900 to 1280*768...

I will still get hickups, but only in the first few mins of a map

But can that really be right ? :S

I can play with everything on max when playing offline

 

BF2 really needs 2gigs, it will really help.

 

Well, nothing else to do than just go out and get the 2gigs of ram then, then i wonder, as far as i know, it aint really needed to get the 667 mhz version of ddr2 ?? Think i even saw a bench showing that the 667 version in some cases would be slower than 533 ? :S

 

533 is fine, the difference between 667 and 533 is totally negligible so don't worry.

 

in 1024*768 everthin high with 2xAA very playable in singleplayer But there is no 1280*800 option in settings?
you need 2 gig ram to play in high setting.

 

Playing with everything at its highest, 1900x1200, 2xAA. Very smooth.

 

You can force it using a small shortcut hack.

Dell D600

* PM Centrino 1,6
* 512 RAM
* 20GB HDD
* ATi Radeon 9000 (M9) 32MB

16 player maps runs fine (25-27 FPS) in SP at 800x600, everything low, no AA/candy at all, with some extra bots

32/64 player maps are a bit more of a problem, but nothing a RAM upgrade wouldn't sort, though.

I use it to test SP mods, hacks, etc., not to go online (though I have a few times, for the laugh) - I use the much beefier desktop for that.

There ya go - portable BF2 for about $400 tops second hand!

 

My Alienware are51 m5790 with ATI Radeon X1800 with 1gb of ram and core 2 duo with Vista Premium runs BF2 beutifully the graphics are awsome every thing is on high setting

 

Battlefield 2 runs fine with all high settings and AA on x6 at 1024x768 on my Mobility X1600. After installing Windows Vista, I got quite a drop in performance though. But mainly its not the original Battlefield 2 game which dropped in performance after Vista install, its the BF2 mod called Project Reality. Since this mod really pushes the BF2 engine to the limit, I kinda need to bring down textures to medium for one of the mods huge maps called "Al Basrah".
Then again, I shouldn't be pushing it with a X1600.

 

BF2 is only 20$ right now so I am totally getting it. Im just wondering how it will perform on my x200m.
