PR:BF2 Windows 7 graphics look bad

[bigbear948]

BF2 on my new computer runs great. But when I run PR, the graphics look worse than they did on my old vista computer and that only had a 128mb graphics card.

My new computer:

Radeon HD5850 1GB
AMD Phenom II 965 3.4GHZ Quad core
4GB DDR3 RAM
Win 7 64 bit

My graphics settings are all on high and I get a good FPS rate, but the weapons textures look awful, and the landscape is not that good either.

Please Help ASAP, thanks.

Post some screenshots showing how the textures look like on your computer. I suspect something wrong with the catalyst control center.

New computer that you built or new computer that you bought at a store? Are the drivers up to date for all hardware?

[bigbear948]

thanks for the quick replies, it may take some time because I uninstalled PR and BF2 because of these faults a few days ago. But I will post some screenshots ASAP, the latest I will post them will be tommorrow morning ( but probably sooner). My new computer was built by novatech .

These look like pretty standard graphics if you ask me... BF2's engine doesn't allow for very high graphics.

Moved to support, best of luck with your problem.

You're playing a game on a 5 year old engine. What do you expect?

[bigbear948]

those are not my screenshots ! when I try and paste them to MS Word 2010 all I get is a black box. Also, I'm getting 100 FPS, but the motion of looking around in PR looks slightly less smooth than in BF2, is this to be expected with a mod ?

I love that the help thread is posted after you've already uninstalled the game -_-*

Once those screenshots come in, we can see what the issue is.

Edit: Your screenshots are you in your:

\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Screenshots\

Take the relevant ones, upload them to imgshack or photobucket, then post the [img] link here

These screenshots are with the highest settings on. I don't think they are right.

You need to turn anti-aliasing on, and maybe texture filtering if it isn't already.

Check your video settings and make sure the one with the red lines is set as high as possible, that view distance is 100% and that texture filtering is at maximum setting.

oops, I thought I had AA and texture filtering turned on, but I didn't. So do these graphics look normal now ?

Yep, that's PR in it's old-engine glory. It certainly does look better now right, but of course it's no BC2 or COD in terms of eye candy.

I had the same issues with the graphics...for me the objects like A10, Apache Longbow, M4 or AK47 looked like ****...like my graphics were LOW textured while the ground like the helipads looked like HIGH graphics.
My problem was a little issue with my settings in the Catalyst Control Center.
If you have problems with your graphic shaders or if your objects simply look like **** even if your graphics are high, check the driver settings of your video card.
