Battlefield Woes

Yesterday I acquired a copy of EA’s latest masterpiece, Battlefield: Vietnam. What I was met with was utter disapointment, thanks in no small part to the total lack of QA on EA’s behalf. The game just up and crashes every few minutes, usually taking the whole PC with it.

Today I did a series of tests on several systems to see what the problem could be. Here’s what I learned:

  • ASUS A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 (nForce2 Ultra 400) + GeForce 5900 = crash

  • NVIDIA nForce3 250 GB + GeForce 5600 = slow, but no crash

  • NVIDIA nForce3 250 GB + GeForce 5900 = reasonable, but no crash

  • Shuttle SN45G (nForce2 Ultra 400) + GeForce 5200 = slow, but no crash


    • Now I’m really puzzled. More testing is necessary to determine what’s goin on here.
