BF2 - anyone else cant get it to run?

[sinij]

I still play SB, haven't had SB.exe for few months now. I used to hate SB.exe, since most SB.exe happened was right before important fight. Well SB.exe is not fun, I'm glad its almost gone. Sb.exe.

You must be trying to get banned.

Back on topic: I've so far had no technical problems, but my card is supported so that could be a reason I guess.  The interface is fucking horrible, and I'm getting more pissed off by the second because of not knowing how to do half the shit in the game(such as activate/enable/whatfuckingever voicechat).  So far I'm playing like a tribes newb and smashing flying vehicles into infantry half the time and crashing while trying the other half.  Who the fuck thought that not inverting flight controls for the jet would be a good idea?  Only every flight sim before this game has the controls inverted for pitching up/down.

I agree, however you really really need a joystick for the aircraft - especially the choppers.

Stick to tanks and other ground vehicles if you don't have a joystick, you'll enjoy them a lot more.

You can set your controls per vehicle.  Just go to Controls, then the Aircraft tab, and click the Invert button on the bottom left.

My card's supported, yet I've had 1 crash to desk.

It's just not a polished game. The voicechat key is "B". It's a click-to-talk, not a toggle.
Not having the invert for flying as default is silly, but it's just a click in the plane and chopper controls. That's the least of the game's issues ;)

I just wish the game had proper stingers, like in DC. And some large flat maps a la Desert Storm/73 Easting/El Alamein

My card is supported, but I still crash to desktop. I never had that problem with the demo.

Thanks DICE/EA.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yet another game for me to not buy when I get back to the US.

GW and MtG:O it is, then.

Seeing as how ranked servers are all but unplayable because of the warping and rubberbanding, I returned my copy of Battlefield 2 to the store. After getting store credit for the buggy POS, I got a Gamecube game for my kid and a Logitech wireless Xbox controller for myself.

Avoid this game. The promise is great, the delivery is shit.

I may look at it again after a few months of patching and a price reduction.

Sweden, you're on thin ice.

Make sure to rename EA.bik in Battlefield 2/mods/bf2/movies unless you want to "challange everything" every time to load the game. Keep files to pass PB. Anyone figured out a way to speed up loads?

Runs fine for me so far, but I didn't play a whole lot last night.
