Battlefield 2 incompatibility with Win7
(1/3) > >>
Byteswarm:
I've dug up my old Battlefield 2 copy & Special Forces, and installed it on my brand new windows 7 PC, only to get smacked in the face with some sort of error. I forgot what it was, it happened a few weeks ago, but I think it said something about directX or dxd9 or something along those lines. I've also updated every possible thing on the machine, so nothing wrong there.

Has anybody else experienced this? It's irritating as hell; I longer have my Vista, so that alternative is out of the question.
I've tried compatibility mode and tweaking system settings, among other things, but to no avail.

Windows 7 is gay. I still use XP. Because 7 is gay.
You can only play the games that came out like after 2008 or something.
I can't play AoE2 on it. I can't play RCT2 on it.
Windows 7 is a piece of stuff. I think there are compatibility packets, but you'll still have minor errors in graphics etc ruining your experience.

Wow dude huge pms here.
If I get something wrong (it isn't even) in your opinion you don't have to barf your mega-correct computerknowledge all over me.
On MY second win7 computer it doesn't run any of these games due to an error having to do with 'compatibility' and 'how win7 is going to fix it and restore it'. It doesn't work for my experience. Sorry almighty god of all computers in the world that I haven't bought 70 different win7 computers to all test it independently on.
Also, notice how I said '2008 OR SOMETHING'. As in NOT an exact sure fact.

Btw you are a richard.
