I recently purchased a new graphics card (Nvidia GTX 470) so that I can play PR again, my old one (nvidia 8800gt) gave out. I havn't played BF2 in a long time and when I go to play it it ctd at the login menu, same with PR. After I reinstalled BF2 it won't even load the game now. I even installed new GTX 470 drivers and nothing changed. HELP ME!! I havn't played PR since .9 :( *edit, other games work fine, it's just BF2/PR

make sure u install it in this order.

1. BF2
2. SF (if u have it, dont install booster packs)
3. Patch 1.41
4. Patch 1.5 (this includes the booster packs)
5. Apply the Alt + Tab fix
6. PR 0.957 1/3
7. PR 0.957 2/3
8. PR 0.957 3/3
9. PR Christmas Map Pack (Optional)
10. Update PB.
11. If u have AVG, go to the resident shield and make an exception for the BF2 folder in Program files and My documents.
12. Restart

and you're ready to go hopefully.

edit: also i recommend that u play on medium textures. I know the GTX 470 can play it all maxed out, but for PR play with textures on medium to avoid ingame CTD. vBF2 should be fine with all high.
