Driver update gone horribly wrong.

So,

I figured if I update my graphics driver for my ATI Mobiliy Radeon HD 4500/5100 Series I could get a better FPS (which I think I did?) BUT NO, f**k YOU ROBSKIE, YOU CAN PLAY CHECKERS INSTEAD.

I downloaded the automatically detect and install from the website but yeah, s**t isn't working.


HELP?

Rollback to previous version or system restore. Also make sure you get the right ones + check google for any problems with those drivers.

-edit
Read that clearing PR cache folder (or something?) also helps with this problem? Others probaply know more about that

To update your graphics card driver cleanly:
- Remove your current graphic card installation (only video driver!)
- Restart your computer
- Install the newest drivers
- Restart your computer
- Enjoy your clean install
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To clear your Battlefield 2 cache (not weapon cache):
- Access your "My Own Files"
- Find your "Battlefield 2" folder
- Access "mods"
- Access "bf2"
- Access "cache"
- Inside you will find some folders named {some codetext here}, DELETE these folders
- Join multiplayer/local game to optimize your shaders again and the game will re-create those cache files for you
- ???
- Profit!

Wallhack!

I don't see the cache folders ?


I uninstalled everything so my s**t was running with the backup driver and i redownloaded it, where can I find the previous version?

Hey Rob,

The cache folder is in "C:\Users\username\Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache".
I had a similar problem with my old Radeon 4870 and I needed to stick with driver version 11.3.

I had to stick to that driver too, hellraizer. But now I tried to install the latest driver, which is 12.3, and the problem was gone
You should try the 12.3.

EDIT: I just realized you were talking 'bout your OLD graph-card... Silly me...
Also, 12.4 just came out. Will try that one.

Your Muttrah is so high on Kokan that she went all Korengal on you and started to Qwai.
After that incident you changed your last Namer and went down the Fools Road.




Did you come up wit that all on your own Fill???

Yeah Scotty I did Hehe

Nice one

Okay I just installed 12.4 and this happened:




WTF..... I'll just reinstall the old driver. Fck sake..

Same exact problem Mine is fixed now =] Too bad I didn't get that previous update.

Just install 12.3 Rob, works fine for me.

I just stick to the driver that works, and every time a new driver comes out I try it, if it doesn't work I reinstall the old one. And I'll just keep doing that until they release a driver that works for me
