"================================================== ====================== DEDICATED SERVER ================================================== ====================== We highly recommend Battlefield 2 servers are run on dedicated server platforms. Currently, the best performance is on a machine with the following specifications: LINUX - Minimum Specification, based on playing a 16 player game: CPU: 1 Ghz RAM: 256 Mb - Recommended Specification, based on playing a 64 player game: CPU: 3 Ghz. For AMD Athlon 64 CPU: 3500+ (2.2 Ghz) RAM: 1 Gb WINDOWS - Minimum Specification, based on playing a 16 player game: CPU: 1 Ghz RAM: 384 Mb - Recommended Specification, based on playing a 64 player game: CPU: 3 Ghz. For AMD Athlon 64 CPU: 3500+ (2.2 Ghz) RAM: 1 Gb BANDWIDTH - Minimum 2.5 Mbit - Recommended 5Mbit As always if you can increase any of the above hardware you will improve your overall gameplay experience. FIREWALL The use of a software firewall on the server is not recommended, as it can adversely affect server performance and the overall gameplay experience. ================================================== ====================== SERVER ADMIN COMMANDS ================================================== ====================== MAPLIST COMMANDS: - mapList.list Every map on the server has an ID number, which is used for voting to change maps. This command lists those numbers, the map name, game mode and the number of players if specified. - mapList.configFile Used to specify the location of the _mapList.con The default is \My Documents\Battlefield 2\ServerConfigs\ - mapList.load Makes the server reload the _mapList.con - mapList.save Saves the current map list on the server to the file _mapList.con - mapList.mapCount Shows the total number of maps in the current map list - mapList.currentMap Shows the map list ID number of the current map being played - mapList.clear Clears the current map list. Warning: If there are no maps in the map list when the server starts loading a new map, all clients will be left on the loading screen. - mapList.remove

"================================================== ====================== BATTLE RECORDER ================================================== ====================== USAGE The BattleRecorder allows a round to be recorded and distributed. The system is very flexible, and the current implementation can be easily changed. We recommend you have a good knowledge of Python before you edit the scripts used here. There are two components to BattleRecorder. First is the Dedicated Server Launcher. The Dedicated Server Launcher requires the following information: - AutoRecord Set AutoRecord to on to enable the BattleRecorder. Every round played on the server will now be recorded to a file. - DemoDownloadURL This is the URL that will be passed to all the connected clients at the end of the round. This is the URL that the Battlefield 2 front end will try and download the demo file from when the user selects 'download'. The demo file must be in the directory specified in the URL, or the demo download will fail. - AutoDemoHook The server runs this script at the end of every round where AutoRecord is enabled. - DemoQuality You can control the quality of the recording made by the BattleRecorder. '1' is the default setting, and we recommend this is used for internet games. '10' is the highest setting, using this will increase the size of the file by around a factor of 8. Higher settings will also increase the load on the server. The second component to BattleRecorder is the script that is run when a round ends. This script can be rewritten or replaced as needed. The Battlefield 2 server will simply attempt to execute the script specified in AutoDemoHook at the end of each round. The default script, called auto_rotate, was written in Python and then built in to an executable. The Python script can be found here \adminutils\demo\rotate_demo.py The script will move a BattleRecorder file from the server to a new local location, or to an FTP site. You can also specify the number of files to keep archived. The script is configured using a configuration file, called 'auto_rotate.cfg', found in the root of the Battlefield 2 installation root directory. In this file you can configure: - file_limit = Use this value to set the number of BattleRecorder files you would like to keep available. The default is 30. Once the limit is reached, a new file will replace the oldest one. - target_root = If you intend to transfer to a local directory, enter the path here. - use_ftp = Set this to 1 if you wish to FTP the DemoRecorder file to a new location. - ftp_target_dir = Enter the path on the FTP site where you want the DemoRecording transferred to. - ftp_server = Enter the URL or IP of your FTP server. - ftp_user = Enter your FTP sites login username. - ftp_password = Enter the password for your login account. NOTES - BattleRecorder will significantly increase your server's load. Therefore we do not support 64 player games with the BattleRecorder feature enabled. - BattleRecorder files become larger as you increase the number of players and the ticket allocation. For a round with 64 players with 250 tickets on each side, you should expect a file size of around 10-12 Mb. - When you download a BattleRecorder file, using the 'Community' function in the Battlefield 2 front end, it is saved in: \My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\Default\Demos\ Every profile on your computer will save BattleRecorder files to this location. It is possible to download BattleRecorder files from a friend or website and copy them into the BattleRecorder directory above. They will then appear on the 'Community' page for you to play. PLAYBACK As well as using the 'Q' and 'T' keys to control the playback of a recording, you can also use a set of keyboard shortcuts: - Keys 1 - 9 Change the playback speed. - Toggle Free Camera / Player Camera Alt Fire Key. By default this is the Right Mouse Button. While in free camera mode: - W, A, S, D Move forwards, backwards, strafe left and right. - Double Tap W Move camera quickly. Alternatively you can hold the Sprint key. - Crouch / Prone Move camera up and down. - Mouse Rotate camera. While in the player follow camera mode: - Space bar Next / previous player. - W and A or the mouse scroll wheel Zoom camera in and out. - Crouch / Prone Tilt the camera up and down. - Mouse Rotate camera around the player. ================================================== ====================== AWARDS & MEDALS ================================================== ====================== Battlefield 2 Awards are granted based on your performance, both over time and during a single game round. You are rated on several criteria, the ratings are: Satisfactory Good Skilled Outstanding Excellent Each Award may require you to fulfill one or more of the following criteria. To achieve more advanced awards you will need to achieve a higher rating within each criteria. The criteria are: - Weapon Rating Total kills with a weapon - Weapon Proficiency Kills with a weapon in a round - Combat Rating Kills with kit or vehicle - Combat Proficiency Time spent playing as a particular kit - Combat Qualification Time spent playing in a particular vehicle - Team Player Rating Teamwork score - Squad Member Qualification Time as squad member - Squad Leader Qualification Time as squad leader - Command Qualification Time as commander - Command Rating Single round commander score - Command Proficiency Total commander score - Time in Service Total time since you enlisted - Driver Rating Driver score - Parachute Qualification Time in a parachute - Specialist Rating Score with a specialist ability, such as the Medic, Engineer or Support kit - Conduct Rating Awarded for good conduct - Combat Qualified Qualified with all combat badges at a specified level - Army Service Time in a particular Army - Army Combat Rating Score in a particular Army - Army Combat Effectiveness Wins with a particular Army "

"================================================== ====================== Troubleshooting ================================================== ====================== TECHNICAL SUPPORT - In the event that you experience a problem with Battlefield 2, and wish to contact Technical Support; a diagnosis file may have been created to help resolve your problem. Check the following directory on your computer to discover is the file is available: \My Documents\Battlefield 2\dmp\ VIDEO CARDS - It is highly recommended to go to your video card manufacturer's website and download updated drivers for your card. For your convenience the addresses are listed here: ATI: http://ati.com/support/driver.html Nvidia: http://nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp - DXT TEXTURE SUPPORT Disabling DXT Texture Support on ATI Video Cards can result in Battlefield 2 failing to start. We recommend DXT Texture Support is enabled. - CHANGING DISPLAY MODE Occasionally on some video cards you may be allowed to set the display mode to one not supported by your computer. This will result in a black screen being shown. To remedy this use the Windows Explorer to find and delete the directory: \My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\ This will reset your game to the default settings. You can now start the game, retrieve or create a new profile, and re-adjust the settings using the Menu as normal. SOUND CARDS - It is highly recommended to go to your sound card manufacturer's website and download updated drivers for your card. For your convenience the most common addresses are listed below: CREATIVE: http://www.creative.com/support/ - We recommend Creative sound cards for use with Battlefield 2. - The following sound cards do not support the Hardware Audio Renderer option: Altec Lansing ADA70 USB Speakers AOpen AW-320 AOpen Phantom 3D AW-724 ASound Express II Aureal Vortex Aureal Vortex 2 Aztech A3D Creative Labs SB 16 PCI Creative Labs SB Audigy 2 NX Creative Labs SB Audigy LS - (5.1) Creative Labs SB Extigy Creative Labs SB Live 24-bit Creative Labs SB Live Creative Labs SB Live PLATINUM Creative Labs SB Live Value Creative Labs SB Live X-GAMER Creative Labs SB Live X-GAMER 5.1 Creative Labs SB MP3+ USB Creative Labs SB PCI 128 Creative Labs SB PCI 512 Creative Labs SB PCI 64 Diamond Monster Sound II MX300 Diamond Monster Sound MX400 Diamond Sound Impact S90 Ensoniq Audio PCI PNP ESS Canyon 3D ESS Canyon 3D-2 ESS Maestro-2 3D Audio Hercules DIGIFIRE 7.1 Hercules Game Theater XP 7.1 Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo III 7.1 Hercules Gamesurround Muse Pocket USB Hi-Live PCI Hi-Live PCI SC4000 IOMagic Storm Surge M-Audio Sonica M-Audio Sonica Theater 7.1 M-Audio Transit USB Microsoft Digital Sound System 80 USB Nvidia nForce Audio Nvidia nForce2 Audio Philips Acoustic Edge Realtek ALC861 audio Siig Soundwave Elite 2000 Siig Soundwave Pro PCI SoundMAX 3 SoundMAX SoundMAX Cadenza (Intel 845) SoundMAX Cadenza (Intel 850) SoundMAX ADI AD1980 CODEC Turtle Beach Montego A3D Xstream Turtle Beach Montego II Turtle Beach Montego II Quadzilla Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Yamaha Xwave-192 Yamaha Xwave-512 Zoltrix Nightingale Value - SELECTING A SOUNDCARD If you have multiple soundcards installed on your computer, you can specify the one you would like Battlefield 2 to use, by using the Windows Control Panel. Open 'Sounds and Audio Devices' and then select the 'Audio' tab. From the drop down lists, select the sound card you would like to use. - AUDIGY CMSS 3D If your Audigy card supports CMSS 3D it should be disabled when using the Software Audio Renderer option in the Audio menu. Otherwise you may experience poor quality sound. It should be enabled when using either the Hardware Audio Renderer, or the Hardware Audio Renderer with EAX Enabled, in the Audio menu. CMSS 3D can be enabled and disabled using the "EAX Console" that came with your sound card. - CREATIVE AUDIGY 4 There is an issue where, if you are using an external volume control with your Audigy 4, and adjust the volume while Battlefield 2 is running, your computer could crash. This issue is related to the 05/04/28 Beta Drivers. We highly recommend you check the Creative website for a driver update. - CREATIVE AUDIGY 2 Users of the Creatve Audigy 2, that wish to play with the Microphone Boost option on, may find that this setting is not saved when previously enabled in Battlefield 2. Resolve this issue by using the Windows Volume Control to enable Microphone Boost. - VoIP [BattleCommo] Some soundcards might transmit static even when there is no microphone attached. This may cause the game to behave as if there was a microphone attached – the BattleCommo icon will become visible, and muted. To solve this, set the BattleCom Transmit Threshold in the Menu to the highest possible value. NETWORK CARDS - AlienWare PC's with Marvell Yukon Network Adaptor If you are using a Marvell Yukon network adaptor you may get the error message 'Could not find socket'. To work around this issue disable the card and use the nForce card that came with your AlienWare PC. OTHER ISSUES - DELL 8400 Systems There is an issue, unrelated to Battlefield 2, that occurs on DELL 8400 Systems; when the onboard SoundMAX audio is enabled and there is a Sound Blaster Live 24-bit sound card (Model 0401) installed. A work-around for this issue is to disable the SoundMAX audio in your computers BIOS. - JOYSTICKS Battlefield 2 does not support using a joystick connected to your computer via a joystick port built-in to your sound card. We recommend you use a joystick that connects to your computer via a USB port. CHANGES IN HARDWARE AFTER INSTALL - Problems with PC hardware changes after you have installed Battlefield 2. If you change your video or sound hardware to a lower specification after you have installed Battlefield 2, you may not be able to start the game. To remedy this use the Windows Explorer to find and delete the directory: \My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\ This will reset your game to the default settings. You can now start the game, retrieve or create a new profile, and re-adjust the settings using the Menu as normal. ERROR MESSAGES The following are error messages you may encounter when playing Battlefield 2. Listed alongside the message is a suggested cause. - Message: There was an error reading from the servers. Cause: Please check your network connection or the server may have been turned off. - Message: Could not resolve connection manager host name Cause: Please check your network connection or the server may have been turned off. - Message: Error accessing an unlockable item's status Cause: There is a problem accessing the profile server.

"================================================== ====================== Other Issues ================================================== ====================== ALT+TAB - Using the ALT+TAB key combination to switch between applications may cause problems. We do not support the use of the ALT+TAB function. BFHQ ACCOUNTS - Please note: You are unable to change the nickname you chose when you initially created your BFHQ account, as well as your email address or password. If you need to change any of these you must create a new BFHQ account using a new email address. PUNKBUSTER - If you are playing Battlefield 2 with a limited user account within Windows XP, PunkBuster may disconnect you from the server. We recommend you use an Administrator account when playing on an internet server with PunkBuster enabled. VIDEO QUALITY SETTINGS - The word 'LIGHTING' is used in the front end Video Options page. This setting also controls the use of normal maps in the game. On the 'MEDIUM' setting normal maps are used on static objects only. On the 'HIGH' setting normal maps will be used on soldiers and vehicles also. KEYBOARD CONTROLS - Some PC keyboards cannot recognize certain combinations of 3 or more simultaneously pressed keys. This is an inherent problem unrelated to Battlefield 2. NOSTROMO N52 - If you have started Battlefield 2 via the software bundled with the Nostromo N52, you may not be able to uninstall the game until you restart your computer. BATTLE RECORDER - When playing back a recording: the maximum fast forward speed you can achieve will depend on the power of the processor in your computer. You may notice that with a slower processor, different fast forward settings appear to move at the same speed. USB HEADSET - If your USB headset becomes unplugged during play sound may not be restored when you reconnect it. If this occurs you must restart Battlefield 2 with the USB headset connected. - Unplugging or plugging in a USB headset while Battlefield 2 is starting up can cause undesired effects. We recommend that you only plug in or unplug USB headsets while Battlefield 2 is not running. STARTING BATTLEFIELD 2 - Battlefield 2 only supports being started via the shortcuts provided with the title. Starting via any other method may result in unsupported behavior. COMCAST & VERIZON DSL SUBSCRIBERS - Users that have Comcast or Verizon DSL connections may be unable to host a server.

u can game easily on a laptop. i did that with an i8200 b4 i built my desktop. i played any and every kind of game with no probs.

however, not all models u can do that with. like my i700m i wouldnt even try to unless just to see what it could handle for curiousity sake.

the only game i havent attempted to paly on my laptop (because it raped even some desktops) was doomIII. i played star wars battlefront, all the 2004,2005 EA games, i played the original battlefield 1942, vietnam, and its other mods(desert combat etc). i play world of warcraft all the time. played Sims, played the latest medal of honor demo. so this machine has been through a lot of games but BFII is just not gonna cooporate with my machine probably. mainly because the graphics card is only 64MB. i have 512MB of ram which has been plenty fine for every game and my pentium M runs about comparible to a 2.4-2.8 p4.

6/9/2005 2:02:18 PM

6/9/2005 2:15:08 PM

what do you mean why do i need 2 gig of ram? b/c its cheap (corsair twinX 1gig for 115), and it drastically improves everything from games to music and sequencing software i use

6/9/2005 2:16:12 PM

2 gigs just seems like overkill to me right now. i have 768mb and havent come anywhere close to using it all in gaming. and my games still fly with amazing detail.

btw, we gettin a TWW clan together for BF2? i think we should with the amount of people interested.

youd be suprised just how much it helps. Try bumping up your settings. And not only gaming but musicially speaking, RAM is god. You can't have enough b/c you are constantly utilizing it to load and unload virtual instruments and samples that take up huge amounts of space. I have one piano gigasample that takes up almost a 1/2 gig of available memory

6/9/2005 2:21:48 PM

damn looks like finally the death nell for my GF4 TI4400

6/9/2005 2:22:24 PM

like i said everythin is already bumped up on mine and i get by with no hiccups or delays with 768. but since u do more stuff with the music and synthesizing then i guess 2 gigs is necessary.

6/9/2005 2:23:24 PM

hopefully the hax0rs won't ruin the game so early

6/9/2005 2:26:16 PM

you know the hax0rs are gonna exploit the hell outta the bugs. prob have flying soldiers without the use of a plane/helo..lol. seems like that is a common bug in 1st release games.

At the gamespy dev chat earlier tonight, EA said they can't commit to Friday for demo yet (don't know if it will be ready). But they assured everyone that the demo will be out before the weekend is over.
