Battlefield 2 doesn't work

I have no idea why no battlefield 2 but here I go.

I recently updated my video card (GTX 560 Ti) to the most up-to-date drivers but the game Battlefield 2 doesn't work. I get the screen to go black like usual but then nothing. I have update 1.50 for it. I have very little money so I play old games and this was a Christmas present. I like how all the really old games (1980-1999) still work.

Can you help me getting the game back to working?

    I contacted nvidia and they said the following and Battlefield2 now works:

    Thank you for updating us with the information as requested.

    We apologize for mistyping the game name.

    The Debug assertion failed error message occurs if there is an issue with the game profile.

    To further troubleshoot the issue, please try editing video.con file which is in C:\Users\*YOU*\Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001

    Make sure resolution or refresh rate is not above your screens top.

    Code:
    VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 3
    VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 3
    VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 3
    VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 0
    VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 0
    VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 3
    VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 3
    VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 3
    VideoSettings.setResolution 1440x900@60Hz
    VideoSettings.setAntialiasing Off
    VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1
    VideoSettings.setVide🤭ptionScheme 3

    Looking forward to your update.

  • If you bought the game off of Origin use live support by clicking "Help"  :  "Origin Help"   :   "Live Chat"

    They've helped me numerous times.

    If you didn't buy it through origin try this:         ~Assuming you have windows~

    1. Right click your battlefield 2 shortcut

    2. Click on properties

    3. Click on compatibility

    4. Select the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"

    5. Click the dropdown arrow and choose your operating system (for example windows 7)

    6. Select "Run this program as an administrator"

    7. Click apply

    I have tried to run it in compatability mode. It doesn't work their either. It happened when I updated my Nvidia driver for my video card. I am now running version 320.18. I get the black screen like it is starting then it stops running and it doesn't even show up in the task manager.

    I got it as a christmas present so I have no idea where the person who got it for me got it.

    Any idea how to talk to tech support without chatting 100 times for one person? I was supposed to get some troubleshooting things but I am not holding my breath. It has been over 12 hours and still nothing.

    I got some help then uninstalled and re-installed the game. I also updated it and found that there is an error (after changing the 1 for fullscreen to 0) that there is an error in file c:\dice\projects\bf2branches\patch_1_50\code\bf2\renddx9\vide🤭ptions.cpp line 234. I have no idea what it is.
