179982 2003-10-03 06:26:00 It runs perfect on my system, (not counting a few slows)
and i have a 2.6 ghz cpu, ati radeon 9100 with 128 mb ram (4 the video card) and 512 ram.

I also have all the expansion packs as well.

179983 2003-10-03 06:40:00 Hi have:
AMD XP 1800, 256mb DDR, GF FX5200 128mb PC - and when I play BF, i have to have these settings, just to make it playable (15fps)

Res: 800x600
All settings on Low/Mid
Color Depth: 16bit
CPU time givin to AI : 18%
Bots: 100%

anything much over that, its not worth playing - and thats with nothing running in background... :(

Could it be I need more RAM? if not, wot else?

179984 2003-10-03 06:45:00 May be your cpu, see this months pcworld for upgrading your cpu. ilikelinux (1418)
179985 2003-10-03 06:51:00 Yer I'm thinking the cpu might be a bit too slow, and unfortunately its pretty difficult to overclock. I tried the FSB, but way to unstable. And I have to now get a pencil and connect the L1 bridges on the cpu to unlock it. :| :| :|

Although I think the BF1942 game engine is absolute crap. Play something like Dark Reign 2, a full 3D RTS game and you will understand a good 3d graphics engine that runs on all computers. I can crank that right up to max settings and get excellent gameplay. BF1942 is a bloated dog in comparison.

179986 2003-10-03 06:57:00 You can never have to much RAM when i come to BF, but the latest patch also helps, v1.4 its biggish thou weighs in at about 70mb, fixes lots of flaws and bugs. Pete O'Neil (250)
179987 2003-10-03 07:02:00 I'd have to agree with you there PoWa.

I've seen it been played on high end PC's (well - high end in my standards :p) - we're talking OC AMD 2800's, 512mb DDR ram, GF FX 5800 128mb graphic cards, and with all settings up, it runs like a fat pig without legs.

The first engine/game = the ancient yet great Quake 3 engine - plus, its still used with great results - MOHAA, SW jedi outcast.....

179988 2003-10-03 07:06:00 Or you can buy Secret weapons of WWII, as this installs the 1.45 patch when it installs.

Mind you, you wouldn't buy the expansion if it didin't work, would you.

179991 2003-10-03 13:49:00 ive played battlefield at netcafes abit-

important notes-
get a mouse with optical mouse ( argh)
i wondered why it wasnt goin where i wanted,cos it was stick when moving to the left:P was easy to rotate completely in other direction haha

try diferent pcs-some ive used are NON Fluid ,even in LAN ,
some are fine in LAN but bad in Netgame..(net? )
and then some are great for both,but that pc is normally taken by some one playing the crap game we all know is called CS

first thing i do-crank the graphics DOWN to 640x480 :'(
ultimate crap but it seems to run

its sad that u gota do that

til i get broadband at home its all im ever gona play it at...

CS shud be banned :-) only new CS coming out should be allowed.

i treid makn AAO lan but it seems u have to register or something :-S
