when i play battlefield, the writing, when people talk is all fuzzy and hard to read...none of my friends have this and i tried to put my video settings on high quality and that didn't work..

also, when i join a game that is on a map that i don't have, usually, with my friend's computer, it automatically downloads the map...but mine just goes back and says error: map not found...and i've searched the internet for a website that i can download maps off of and i haven't found any good ones... please help...thanks

Do you have a Radeon graphics card? That's the usual suspect for this sort of corruption. I assume you've tried updating your drivers?

Also, what speed is your internet connection and what version of windows are you using. Do you have a firewall / virus software enabled on your PC?

i have a windows me professional computer..and we didn't change the graphics card..we have cable...and we have sygate personal firewall...if u can help..plz do

can you use the "online hardware scan" from the previous page and post your results...

hope it helps

Ok, first thing to do is check out: www.viaarena.com and click on drivers. Then follow the on screen instructions until you have downloaded your new driver update, install it and then try updating Direct X via www.microsoft.com/directx.

If the problem persists, try re-installing the game. Unfortunatly the game doesn't actually support your graphics card so for it to work in the first place is a blessing indeed. The corruption you see may simply be a bug that happens when using a ProSavage graphics controller and I'm afraid there's not much else you can do about it.

oh okay...thanks

what is my driver type?
chipset or platform driver
audio
intergrated graphics
IDE, RAID & SATA
