Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Masisoar

Obviously I didn't pay close attention to the specs for Battlefield 2 and now I have a $50 game that I cannot run on my laptop.

It seemed fine to run Battlefield 1942 with medium-set graphics and took on Flight Simulator 2004 pretty well but BF 2 crashes on start-up (most likely due to my vid card).

I'm not sure whether I can upgrade my graphics card, or not but I was looking at the Dell Website and it offered some cards for sale for laptops so I was curious if I actually could do that. Not too familiar with opening up a laptop as I am working on a desktop. My computer also has a slot on the side of it that looks like you can slide a card into, maybe that's where a video card could go? the slot's like 2 1/2 inches wide.

What should I do concerning this game? Can I get a card or am I screwed?

Swapping a videocard is not something you should try to do yourself on a laptop. If you are'nt used to open laptops and swapping stuff in them.
That slot you are talking about is for another type of card.

Do you know what videocard you have now? If it is a Radeon Mobile or Geforce Go card? Then you can replace the video card. But if it is a IGP videocard, it is integrated into the motherboard.

If you dont know what card you got?

Look under "Monitor" and
"PCI / AGP video".
