BF2S Forums After install patch 1.2 I can't see any buildings

Greetings All, I am also running with an ATI Radeon 9250 card, and have lost all the buildings after patching , not to mention terrible lag , making the game unplayable, so looks like its onto Ebay for yet another new card. I guess adding more RAM to my PC won't help here.

You got it mate, that's exactley what I'm seeing on my 9000 too.

[singing]Monday~~~~ Mondaaaay~~~~[/singing] that's when the Fed Ex guy arrives with my new 470W PS and 6800GS video card.....

LOL The people I play with already suggested that.

I spawn in the middle of maps and call out the enemy, seeing how I have X-Ray vision.....
Problem there is lagggggggggggg I only get about 3 frames a second with the 9000 now.

I'd be telling them what already happened 30 seconds ago.
We were messing around on an empty Karkand server, I was at the junction by the hotel, looking through to the courtyard to the east and the alleys west and behind the hotel.

I told all 4 of them where they were and which direction they were moving, problem is they all said they WERE there but had moved on.

What ever. Monday's coming and so is my new gear. w00t!


Wonder if that's going to be a problem now? People on purpose using 9000 - 9200's to wall hack. PB will never be able to identify them because no files are altered.

THAT WILL SUCK.

Same damn problem.  I have an ATI Radeon 9000.  Seems like EA needs to update their patch to support Radeon cards.  Funny, JUST when I resolve the problem of "Blocked O/S Privilages" after about 3 months of trying to get the freaking game to work, THIS crap happens.

The 92xx cards were never officially supported. What do you expect?

go to the link in my sig, it works.

Here is a copy of the instructions from the above link, apparently works according to the number of posters in the EA forum

Goal: Use optimized shaders from previous versions of Bf2 that worked with the 9200 or other 1.4 pixel shader video cards. (copy and paste the shader files from older versions that worked and replace the new ones)
1) Download and install the Battlefield 2 demo. (You can use previous versions of Battlefield 2. I just find using the demo a lot easier and more organized.

2) Run the demo and set your video settings / other options to your liking.

3) Exit out of the demo and go to
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\My Documents\Battlefield 2 Demo\mods\bf2\cache and delete everything in there. NOTE: THere probably isnt anything in there since you just installed teh game/havent played...just double check

4) Go back into the demo and join a server and let the game optimize your shaders. If the game runs fine (ie to your liking) then continue to step 5. If not, repeat steps 2-4).

5) Afterwards, exit out of the game and go to
C:\Documents and Settings\Your name\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache
And delete everything in there. (this is not the demo folder)

6) Run the actual game and make sure the video settings / other options are exactly the same as the one as you had in the demo.

7) Join a server and you should see the game optimizing shaders. When you start playing..the buildings are going to be invisible / messed up and you will get massive lag. This is normal. Exit out of the game now.

Cool Go into the demo folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\My Documents\Battlefield 2 Demo\mods\bf2\cache and you shall see a folder with a really long name. Go inside the folder and you should see about 55 files. Select ALL of the files and copy. (crtl+c).

9) Now go into your BF2 directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your name\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache and go inside the folder with the really long name. DELETE EVERYTHING IN THERe (leave none alive).

10) Now paste the files you had from the demo cache folder into this folder. Now run the game and hopefully you shouldn’t see a “optimizing shaders for best performance” when loading a server… Good luck and have fun
