Game Install Question

[pennywisesb]

Battlefield II won't play on my computer. It will start up and then just crashes to my desktop. I noticed that the minimum requirement as far as a processor is a 1.7 gHz, and my computer is a 1.6 gHz (yeah, my bad for not reading the min. req. when I bought it). Is that enough of a difference that the game would not be able to run? I've played games with a computer that was under the minimum requirements before. Does anyone have any other ideas as to why it would crash like that or am I just screwed?

But the biggest complaint that we have with the game is the steep hardware requirements. You'll need a beefy video card: the minimum is a GeForce FX 5700 or a Radeon 8500. If you don't have the proper card, or the proper driver, the game dumps you unceremoniously to desktop without as much as an error message. We've got machines here at GameSpy with GeForce Ti 4600s that are capable of running Half-Life 2 or DOOM 3 with solid framerates, but Battlefield 2 won't even run on these systems. It seems that a huge audience could find themselves shut out of this game, which is a shame; if you've been looking for a good excuse to pick up a new video card, this might be it.
