Hi,

I am busy running some tests on BF2 and BF2142 at present. My laptop has an AMD
Radeon w/AMD4650. I'm using Arch with the latest kernel (13.x) and Mesa 10.x.

There are various rendering bugs. However these appear to be totally equivalent
between AMD (w/Radeon driver) and Nvidia (w/Nvidia driver) GPUs.

Landscape textures have to be set to LOW to avoid seeing flickering hexagonal
black polygons on ground surfaces.

Lighting has to be set to LOW. All additional lighting sets have to be toggled
OFF. With lighting higher than LOW and/or additional light effects turned ON
the game simply hangs at the initial map screen.

I've played the game with other settings at HIGH. Including online play - as
Punkbuster now works with a downloadable updater utility. I played on a remote
hosted multiplayer map for ~30 minutes. FPS is OK (slow ~20-30 FPS) @1366x768
(native) on my (relatively weak) AMD card.

@Jarkko

I would close this bug - it is no longer valid. I'll refile more specific bugs
against the textures issues (which was closed recently I notice). Also the
Lighting problem (which affects all GPUs) will need to be opened as a "more
specific" bug. The priority of fixing problems, affecting both BF2 & BF2142,
IMHO needs to be raised - as extended online play is now working for both
games.


Thanks
Robert
