Anyone else ahe va 7600 GT that play BF 2142? i have a AMD 4200 64 x2 Cpu, and 2 gig of ram, and I jsut reformated with fresh install, and the game is still really choppy for me?

Also in vid settings It only lets me go up to 1024 x768 res. am I doing something wrong?

Maybe changing your video drivers. What version are you using?

97.02

Yeh I tried again ,and game is just choppy, should be running smoother than that I would think.? I even turned a few more of the settings down
 
Make sure your using latest DX9 as well
install it after everything else /..... latest chipset and audio drivers are a must as well
 
i got an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200,+ (am2), 2GB Corsair XMS2, and an eVGA Geforce 7900GT CO. Runs on highest setting with no lag, choppiness,or nothin

runs smooth and great

BF2142 is like my fav game now :D
 
A friend of mine runs it on a 7600GT SLI setup at a 1280x1024 resolution maxed with the same system as you got almost except a diffrent motherboard most likely. Granted this is SLI but he gets really high frames. So I would check drivers, maybe go to a driver set one below your current one of something.
 
Make sure your videocard advanced settings for AA are set to application decide and AA is set in the game settings. You cannot have both trying to force AA.
 
what else you got installed?

your temps on cpu and gpu look ok?

psu fluctuating heavily on your rails at all?

list your complete system specs .. + any peripherals you might have installed

is this the only game that gets choppy for you?

what are your cp settings for the card?

what are your ingame settings for the card?

what OS are you running? ..xp home ..pro?

questions questions ...always with the questions ...!

Thanks for the tips, I will download that cpu update, and check AA settings and see what happens
 
Still didnt seem to help to much, Maybe I have to rteinstall again to do fresh install of drivers, and dx9 i guess. I dont know what else it could be.

I have a 550 watt psu as well

Well, the your main prob I see is your vid card...Yes, BF uses an older game engine but still when you're playing on a huge server with a lot of rendering with explosions, movement etc, on huge maps, you are gonna get the chop...my older rig is a 2.2 intel with a 6800 gt and when I disable shadows that helps out tremendously so you should give tha ta try...


Also, just as with BF2, if you wanna use higher resolutions, you have to use the short cut reso hack in the desktop exe. shortcut....change the target in the Bf2142 shortcut properties...For instance to play at 1280/1024....U use this-->C:\GAMES\BF2142\BF2142.exe +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280+szy 1024 With C: being your directory folder that contains BF2142 of course...Anyway, try disabling shadows and see if that helps...also lower the draw distance to say 75%
 
shadows, lighting and dynamic light? not sure about the last one but thos three are very impactful on performance. That and effects in a large server can lag even my 8800GTS with everything on high 1600x1200 8XAA lol.
 
i'll try those new drivers and the shortcut method today, Thanks alot for the help and suggestions! hope it works.
 
Well the game does work alot better now, I think what was wrong was mcafee. I uninstalled this program and the game worked very smoothly, and I am sure the other suggestions helped as well.

one question I did have the shortcut trick to get a higher res, I tried the one mentioned before but dont seem to work, any other suggestions or command line?
