EA dont give a shit about ATI. they only made the game for nvidia cards (as nvida sponcer them) and then ATI was a afterthought. Dont you rember the old BF2 demo some ATI cards couldnt play it?

What is the problem with BF2 + ATI? I've got ATI Radeon 9600 mobile that plays fine on 1.2, will 1.21 make it play faster? I've always thought my laptop has played pretty smooth at mostly medium quality settings, that's how I play online too. Will 1.21 give me a speed boost? That'd be nice.

It only effects SOME of the ATI cards. I have a 9800 and its allways worked with BF2. Its mainly a prob with the x800s and other high end ATI cards.

My X850XT runs things just fine, Nvidia are naughty because they tend to lean on devs to tweak to their cards instead of abiding by a pure Dx standard.
