My video card (AMD Radeon R5 430) failed yesterday.  It was replaced with a Intel UHD Graphics 630.  Now when I start Battlefield, it flashes and then nothing.  Are there any suggestions before I consider moving my computer to Windows 11 (upgrade from 10) and hope that everything continues/starts to work again?

Nicole has a made a installer with the correct files to run with your new video card. Remove/Uninstall any existing copies of BF1942 and download this installer which includes the expansions.

I can't win, the replacement card crapped out too.  I now have a AMD Radeon HD7000.  Knowing that I will have to uninstall BF, am I just best off to move to Windows 11 and then start the process of reinstalling?  This happens to be a work computer and I will be forced to Windows 11 at some point.  I was holding off until I was forced to because I didn't know how BF would react; now that's it's not working, maybe now is the time.

 

 

Sorry/Thanks

I think that installer should work for that as well. That one contains the drivers for the older graphic cards. If you are on discord, you can ask in the #tech-support channel and might get a better response there.

If you happen to see my last post (novel), please ignore it.  I think I have everything working and can hopefully test it out tomorrow.  Thanks for all the help!
