Any idea what NVBF format is? Creating the texture anyway doesn't seem to help so there are other things stopping Battlefiel 2 from starting.
Oliver. From what I understand from FourCC it's probably a format specific to
Battlefield 2. If I were to guess, I'd say NV stands for nVidia and BF for BattleField.
On the subject of BattleField 2 (Demo), did you try starting the game with +fullscreen 0 on the command line? For me, it made the demo get to the point where it displayed at least displayed an error message. I don't remember the exact message, but I think it was related to some shaders not being supported by my graphics card, which could very well be correct... the game doesn't support my Geforce 4400 Ti on Windows either, and according to some messages on message boards I read the error message I got was the same as the one people get on Windows. I pretty much stopped trying at that point.
I'd look up the exact message, but unfortunately I won't be able to do that before the end of the week, maybe even later.
