Bf2 on Win8 64bit
How can i play this on windows 8, screen goes black and that's all... back to desktop. Changing compatibility won't help.

I play BF2 on Win8 64bit just fine, i think you need to move BF2 out of Program Files (x86).
On steam, you'll have to unistall and reinstall in a new location.

Try this:

Try Running as administrator

Try deleting video.con @ mydocuments/bf2/profile/defult

Try running BF2 directly from the .exe, not steam

Maybe you could try download a new RendDX9.dll and RendDX9x2.dll from the internet. Just google it to find them.

Edit: lol nice solution. I find this odd, I was able to play BF2 with a hdmi connected to a monitor only.
