Some different BF2 problems

Archived from groups: alt.games.battlefield1942 (More info?)

Having a few BF2 problems that I haven't seen covered..

1. When I log on the Account Server it takes forever, and when its
done I'm either loading a map for a game server (not one I've
picked.....just a random server), or I'm told I was unable to load the
server. Whats up with that?

2. Sometimes when I hop into a vehicle.....tank, apc, etc. the gun
starts firing and doesn't stop until it over heats or goes empty. I'm
not doing anything but trying to drive it. Only solution so far is to
close the game, and reload it. Then its back to normal........at
least until it does that next time.

3. Not a true BF2 problem, but here goes...I installed the latest
NVidia drivers for my 6600GT vid card. Game plays nicely with the
drivers. Unfortunately, I can't play much of any other multimedia
files on my computer. No .avi's, mpegs, mp3's.....not in windows
media player, or winamp.....nothing. I've rolled the drivers back to
a 66.xx version and all is well (other than the warning in BF2 that I
need to update my driver!). Any ideas?

Have you tried the 77.30 drivers that come on the BF2 dvd?

I've tried the ones that came with BF2, as well as the latest from
NVidia. The 66.xx drivers actually play the game well, I'm just
wondering why the mulitmedia problems with the newest drivers.
