BFME2
Subject description: It won't work on my system.
I am running a video card with 32MB and as such BFME2 always crashes when I try to start a battle. Is there any way to make my system/game think it's running a 64MB card, so that I can actually play the game? I tried to Google it, but I didn't find anything. _________________ When you've convinced yourself that killing an animal is 'murder', but killing an unborn human being is 'choice', you sir have become as dangerous as a person can be.

It can be "run", actually. The problem becomes that if your computer doesn't meet the minimum specs the game crashes when you try and start a battle.
512RAM
1133MHz (another problem, but one that's easier to work around)
71GB hard-drive
8x CD drive
No idea about my sound card. _________________ When you've convinced yourself that killing an animal is 'murder', but killing an unborn human being is 'choice', you sir have become as dangerous as a person can be.
The only way to make it think it's runnig a 64MB card is to actually get one.You can't change system spcs of which is already in your comouter unless you manually change them,period.It's why we sell graphics card.Reason you can't find it on google cause there is no such thing lol.....Seriously,i've never even heard about that. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Mind you that 64mb is a requirement that will allow your game to run properly. But you'll probably have to play on minimum specs. 128mb+ will let you play without problems. QUICK_EDIT
^ Exactly.
Basicly,you're pretty out dated,cause the system spec for DX10 games are like 512MB.....You've got some problems up ahead now _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Never mind. I installed it on my desktop.
Anyway, there are ways to increase memory for a card without changing the actual card, such as overclocking. I read about it after posting this, while researching buying a new video card. (I saw a note on one on Ebay, "never been overclocked", I looked it up and "Bingo!".) _________________ When you've convinced yourself that killing an animal is 'murder', but killing an unborn human being is 'choice', you sir have become as dangerous as a person can be.
If you have an old card with 32mb memory, over clocking won't help you much.
You'll need way more than 128mb video card. My brother has such card, and he can't run the game normally. QUICK_EDIT

This game pisses me off. My desktop has all the minimum requirements and then some, and it still crashes when I go to real-time. War of the Ring mode, Build a Hero, and all the Cutscenes work, but when I go to real-time/skirmish/campaign it crashes! My video card is Intel 82845G, which has the 64MB requirements, and it still won't work. A lot of people have this problem, and it's posted around on a lot of forums, yet EA has done nothing to help anyone. The demo works fine, BFME1 works fine, Generals works fine, C&C3 works fine, so apparently this is the only SAGE-engine game that has this problem. I'm officially pissed off at this game and its makers. _________________ When you've convinced yourself that killing an animal is 'murder', but killing an unborn human being is 'choice', you sir have become as dangerous as a person can be.
Intel 82845G, I had trouble with the C&C3 demo with that onboard graphics card. Not that I actually intended on running C&C3 from it, but I was curious as to whether it'd do it.
Generally, I wouldn't go for an onboard graphics card when wanting to play a relatively recent game. Even if you got it to run, you'd be running at the very basics to get anything remotely smooth out of it.
Save up some money and get a nice nVidia or Radeon. The old DX9 cards are pretty cheap now. _________________ If there is a problem on the forums, PM me. QUICK_EDIT

I wouldn't recomend to buy nVidia Gf 7100 or lower, it sucks! I'd recomend 7600 or more. And only 7800++ need more video-ram than 256. If a card has to much ram, it'll slow it down _________________ This is a signature QUICK_EDIT

How would it slow it down? Wouldn't more memory be helpful? _________________ When you've convinced yourself that killing an animal is 'murder', but killing an unborn human being is 'choice', you sir have become as dangerous as a person can be.
You have MUCh to learn man.The reason your game chrashes is because you have the MINIMUM requirments.Yes,you can run the game.Yes other other games work.But it's very obvious you can not run this game because of the requirments.EA is not responsible for your poor system specs.Intel graphics cards are not meant for games,It's an integrated card.
Dont't blame EA for your problem,EA has much more many things to do then handling with relativly small problems.You should have downloaded a demo before waisting your money........ _________________ QUICK_EDIT

If you have a shared video card, you can dedicate more memory for it by setting up the BIOS. But there is a max amount, depending on how old is your card and your BIOS. I think there are other programs that also allow you to share more RAM to your shared video, but I don't know about them (only heard from a friend).
Of course that shared cards are always horrible and if you can have a non-shared one, go ahead and grab some money to buy it. QUICK_EDIT
