But according here
http://support.lucasarts.com/tsg/SWBFQuestions/Video%20Issues/VSPSCapabilities.htm

that would not be impossible to run the game without VS and PS

but this game would need also "64MB 3D Graphics card w/Hardware Transform & Lighting (T&L) Capability"

What's your driver ?

Did you try also 3DAnalyzer (for T&L) ?

man i left a lot of junk out of my post.. im using SFFT23... it might be demanding but it runs great on my POS GF4:MX420, but i noticed an increase in speed on newer games on my V5 but for some reason battlefronts starts and shows a loading screen, then goes threw logos and such.. then gets to the point to select a profile then... then dies. i will upgrade to SFFT25 to see if that does anything for it and ill try 3da to see if that helps in anyway.



wow no pauses

[Nightbird]

then dies

how it dies ? can you select a profile (and what profile) ?
no message ?

[kekit]

dies as in it comes out of fullscreen, then gives a windows error.

[Nightbird]

then gives a windows error

what windows error ?

[kekit]

just a windows program crash. im gonna try and reinstall it to see if its just the engine.
