Weird graphics and other like that.

[boberczus]

Hi guys!
I've got a problem, I see lots of weird "things", for example a green building on Muttrah (o.O)
and some lines which covers my line of sight. Sucha things i see also in other games. Me specs are:
nVidia GF GT220 1gb VRAM
Pentium DUAL-CORE E5400 2,7 GHz
2GB RAM Kingston
Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit

Thanks in advance

That looks like artifacts...

Eh, I'd like to say sorry for that last post, its just embarrassing.

But, in regards to green buildings try and clear out your shaders cache.
And if you can, try to get a 64bit Windows Vista/7 and 2 GB more RAM.
To play PR its recommended to have 4GB, and it gives enough space for a 64bit OS to run, 32bit put a cap on RAM, 3.25GBs I believe? But your card is good to handle PR with your CPU, I just think this is a RAM issue.

Overheating? Post temps while playing PR on korengal valley.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE ABOVE INFO!!!

This guy is plagued with some major misinformation.

First off, YOU CANNOT UPGRADE TO A 64-BIT OPERATING SYSTEM! It is literally not possible. A 32-Bit computer can only use a 32-Bit OS and a 64-Bit system only a 64-Bit OS. Unless of course you want to buy a new computer.

Next, 2 GB of RAM is good enough for PR. If you have extra cash, then you can buy more (max of 4GB total). However, VRAM is more important to PR and I see that your 1GB is more than enough.

I believe you have a software problem rather than a hardware problem. Make sure all drivers are up to date and also try clearing the BF2 shaders.

Hmm ok then, let me inform you on my misinformation,
and by upgrade a 32bit system. Heard of upgrade kits???

Plus you just said all the stuff, aside from my OS bit there, I said. and notice how I said, RECOMMENDED 2GB is the minimum for PR.

and some more information that I have gotten wrong is;

Before you go accusing, get proof to back up your arguments.
No one is perfect, but I am confident that I am in this case. More respect from you would be nice in the future.

Your going to have to explain that one... because some where down the line operating systems stopped being software, changed to hardware, and started being incompatible with... other hardware? ??:

[boberczus]

ok, guys don't argue here. I will try to clear the shader cache but i don't think it's the problem because i see such a thing in other games too. Max temperatures are 38* C. And drivers are up-to-date (I've just updated them 3 days ago).

[Mora]

38C seems really low to me. Download GPU-Z and record a sensor log while playing a heavy game.

Muttra city? where? Is that the ninja suit?

I had that on muttra city as well sometime. After game restart it was gone but my graficscard died a few months later

[Kandahar]

Hmm, seems like overheating perhaps. Happened with me a couple of times..

You can put a 64 bit OS on the same computer as you had a 32 bit. In fact you can put the 64 bit on the same hard drive as the 32 bit was on. Simply save what files you need onto an external disk or secondary hard drive, format the boot drive (where the OS is) then install the new OS onto it. You can then move any files you saved elsewhere onto it and set up any settings you need to.

Next, 2 GB of RAM is good enough for PR. If you have extra cash, then you can buy more (max of 4GB total).

You can get by with 2 gigs but you're cutting it pretty close, especially if you've had them for a long time and they have lost modules (which means less actually memory space.) I'd have to say, like Johncro said earlier, get at least 4GB of memory for your system. If you do plan to go down that road and add memory, I would suggest you but a whole new set to ensure compatibility and reduce the amount of dead modules.

However, VRAM is more important to PR and I see that your 1GB is more than enough.

Video memory has the least importance of any hardware in PR. System memory is far more important. There are cards with half a gig on them that will run PR very well. On one of my computers I run PR with an integrated card which means that it does not have any memory of it's own, it shares the system memory, which I have 6GB of. IIrc, VRAM has the most effect at larger screen resolutions like 1920x1080 and higher. Still, with the cards coming out these days and the screens too, it's probably best to get a card with at least 1GB of memory (which for newer cards I don't think you can get less.)

I believe that the OP's problem is caused by overheating, corrupt software (drivers or BF2/PR), or damaged hardware.

[boberczus]

But it's not problem only in PR as you see on pic, it happens in almost every game ;/

[whatshisname55]

Which means that all of the possibilities; overheating, corrupt/outdated drivers, or damaged hardware, are valid. Those will affect any game you play on that computer.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I didn't know if he wanted to erase everything.

Upgrading: Note that it is not possible to upgrade from a 32-bit operating system to a 64-bit operating system, or to go in the reverse direction. Any change between the two would require you to backup all of your personal files, erase your hard drives partition, install your operating system and programs from scratch, and restore your files from that backup. You should consider this before the initial installation to avoid a tumultuous transition. Edge: None

Your going to have to explain that one... because some where down the line operating systems stopped being software, changed to hardware, and started being incompatible with... other hardware? ??:

To install a 64-bit version of Windows 7, you need a processor that's capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows.


In his case he can run a 64-bit (my bad).
