Give us a complete list of your computer's specs. Motherboard, RAM, CPU, Videocard, etc.

Chances are your videocard is not up to par.

k...
200 GB 7200 RPM HD .512 MB DDR . pentium 4 processor 540 .
ATI radeon x300 SE ....... anything else?

Sniper

540MHz??!!?!?!

If that's the case, I'm surprised your computer lived through the install :P

This is how you check your STEAMID and register it.

They don't make P4 540MHz, Sniper.

If you have hyperthreading, you may want to try turning it off.

Also be sure to download the newest drivers and BIOS for your motherboard, drivers for your video card and sound card.

Make sure everything is up to date.

Close.
540 is the chipset. SiS 540 chipset supports socket 7.

kormendi

Close.
540 is the model number of the Pentium 4 540. Intel has made a move to model numbers... seems they have finally realized that MHz don’t really define the performance of a processor.

im confused, what do i need to get

kormendi

nothing
your computer meets the hardware requirements for BF2... most likely you have a problem with your configuration. Try disabling hyperthreading, try different drivers for the video... not sure what else to tell you. I do know that you are not the only one with your problem... a google search may find a solution.

i have the exact same issue right now, the thing is, the actual game has been working and running perfectly ever since it came out and i got it... could it be the upgrade patch for the game pushed it too far for my computer???

comp stats:
-pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz
-2.52GHz
-768MB of RAM
-NVidia GeForce FX 5200 (i know it sucks horribly, but it still runs smoothly on low graphics)
