battlefield 2142 video issues
looks like i'm running PAL when i need NTSC or vice-versa when i start the game. reinstalled winXP a few weeks ago and reinstalled bf2142 tonight, all other games worked fine until tonight. anyone have any idea?
radeon2600xt, desktop res at 1440x900 athlon x2 64 5800+ 4gb ddr2 corsair asus m2n mobo hanns-g hw191d widescreen 19" can't think of anything else, |
Re: battlefield 2142 video issues
Why do you think you're running PAL? It doesn't make sense because PAL/NTSC are both interlaced formats used on TV, not on PCs.
What exactly is it doing and have you updated video drivers recently. |

Is it only during movement that it does that or all the time even on a still image? |
Re: battlefield 2142 video issues
that's not entirely true. alot of video signals from a PC are interlaced. When you use a second output most of your video cards up through current mid-range cards. They max that out as a 1080i signal. Not 1080p or higher.
What are you trying to do output it to a TV? |

What are you trying to do output it to a TV? Any output to a monitor is going to be progressive, and I think (hope) he would have mentioned if he was outputting to a TV. If he sending it to a TV that would make sense. |
Re: battlefield 2142 video issues
i'm not sending it to a tv, it just LOOKS like i'm doing so.
if i still had zilisoft i'd take a video from desktop to the FIRST game displayed screen (intro video) and the game menu itself. it's a pain in the ------- ass trying to figure it out |
Re: battlefield 2142 video issues
So when are you going to give a decent description of what's going on? When does it do it? What exactly does it do? Is it only during gameplay or also during the menus? Is it only during movement or also when still?

Re: battlefield 2142 video issues
i told you.
from the first screen the game plays (the ea games intro movie to the game menu itself and so on) its all out of sync like a tv playing PAL thats NTSC, or vice versa. it doesn't get any better and i can't make out whats going on the screen to try and play. |
Re: battlefield 2142 video issues
Is it only the initial ---- and the game plays fine or is it all fucked up? Do any other games have problems?
|
Re: battlefield 2142 video issues
no other games installed have related issues (one has the game engine crash on certain points but its still buggy) and i can't get into the game to play a sp or mp map, it's too ------ hard to read.

Turn off anti-aliasing and tell me what it does.

If he sending it to a TV that would make sense. 9/10 video cards do not support 1080p output on a second screen. Complex if you google Radeon 2600's it seems alot of guys are having several kinds of problems with them Interlaced output, black screens, etc. Update your mobo bios, the card's firmware and your driver if at all possible. |
Re: battlefield 2142 video issues
ill be replacing the card soon, it's a lowend card in todays market whereas my processor is fastest in it's socket class.

9/10 video cards do not support 1080p output on a second screen. Where do you pull your information from? |
