Battlefield 2

Windows 10
Update: One of the guys in the comments showed me a working solution.

As far as I know, BF2's completely incompatible with Windows 10. If anyone knows a solution for this, please, feel free to let me know. For now, if you own Windows 10, don't buy this game off of anywhere(yes, I know it's not on Steam, anymore).

Battlefield 2 works just fine on my Windows 10 install as well.

I suggest making sure all of your PC drivers are updated to Windows 10 certified versions.

Windows 7/8 drivers are not 100% compatible with Windows 10, especially when it comes to games.

There's also this: {LINK REMOVED}

Tell us what issues you have?
Does the game start up?
Does shutdown after blackscreen ( start up )

GIVE US SOME DETIALS.

Also where are you playing battlefield 2?
BF2HUB?
The game starts up to a black screen, then crashes to my desktop. I got the Steam version, with the BF2HUB client installed.

I believe I had that once many moons ago. If I remember correctly, it has to do with the game starting up with a strange resolution.

Look in your "Documents" folder for a "Battlefield 2" folder...

Open the "Battlefield 2" folder, then open the "Profiles" folder...

Check each folder for a "Video.con" file and open it in Notepad...

Scroll down to "VideoSettings.setResolution" and type in the resolution you intend to use.

Save and close the file...

You may need to do this a few times, depending on how many folders are under "Profiles", as each might contain a "Video.con" file.

Try to run BF2 again...

I'm on Win10 and randomly BF2 and/or BF2 AiX 2 crashes to desktop randomly while in game. i7-4790k, R9-290x, 16gigs ram ect.. Im on bf2 build v1.5 "steam" and at 1080p with all drivers updated and what not. Could this just be a no fix/random issue or is there something i'm missing? It doesnt happen alot but when it crashes its on random maps so theres no real rhyme or reason to it.

I ran the .exe directly instead of launching through my Steam library and the game worked.
I also set the .exe to Windows 7 compatibility and always run as administrator before I tried this.

Hope this works for anyone else having trouble!

I know it is a common problem which is asked and solved at the {LINK REMOVED} forums - the community and mods there are very helpful.

with using a Tv it is best to set monitor as standard mode and choose the frame size as above it easy also it allows the computer OS to recognize the TV
