d10sfan Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I am trying to get Battlefield 2 running on my mac. I tried using crossover and that was ok except that alot of the graphics were messed up (plaid water for instance). Then I tried to copy the battlefield 2 files over into the battlefield 2142 cider port I bought after editing the plist to point to it. That just didnt work at all. Does anyone have any ideas?

Wizkid4590 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hi there, try this version of Cider. It works fine with bf2 on my hackintosh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d10sfan Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 When I tried to do it, it loaded up into the black screen and then unloaded and never gave any reason. I changed the cedegagame name to c:\Program Files\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe and the cedegagamedir to c:\Program Files\Battlefield 2 *CHANGED DUE TO GAMEDIR TYPO* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDeath Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 "Cedegagamedir" should only be c:\Program Files\bf2\, without the "BF2.exe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d10sfan Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sorry, I typed it wrong on the post. I did have it like you said in the plist. It still has the same problem listed earlier. Will I need the \ on the end of the gamedir? Also, what else can I try to resolve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi there, try this version of Cider. It works fine with bf2 on my hackintosh! Which BF2 do you use? The demo or the full retail version with the latest patch. Does online play work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizkid4590 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Version 1.0 full retail with the latest patches (1.0+1.4+1.41) and no-cd... Edit: forgot something... online works (only tested on native windows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d10sfan Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 Ok. Single player and local multiplayer works great but everytime I try to join a punkbuster server, the game freezes and I have to restart the mac and every time I try to join a non-punkbuster server, it checks it cant connect and to check the network connection.

ltdrifter Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I am also trying to get this to work, could someone kindly tell me what they had to do to make this run properly, I am having an issue where the ground textures are not showing, and I cannot connect to a LAN server. I used the version Whizkid pointed to, BF2 1.41 from working windows install and my system specs are in my sig. Thanks. Edit: found the problem with the graphics, have to enable FBO and FBO cache. Now playing at 1024 x 768, High settings, full screen. Flat rocks in single player. Also have connected successfully to my LAN server, is a little sluggish. Need some insight as to how Cider handles networking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpschoute Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 very cool, i have bf2 original also, downloaded a backup port for cider at brokenstones.cn. Singleplayer is awesome, but i can't seem to gek my registry settings in the cider port. It just keeps saying wrong serial when i connect to a multiplayer game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowwlf Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 jpschoute, is your key authentic? That could be part of the reason, or just try to connect to a different server, and see if you are able too. ltdrifter and I were able to sit down for one day and get BF2 w/Hardjustice mod up and running. Although it seems to have a few minor issues, But that could also be my coomputer and or the drivers that were used to get video and sound going on it. I can only run BF2 at 1024x768 with medium settings for video without any problems. If I set it higher than that I start to loose mouse control intermittently and some artifacting on the video. But like I said that is probably due to the native drivers I used and modified, and has nothing to do with cider. If it truely is the registry just try to export them out of windows into a text file then transfer the keys manually into cider, that is how we were able to do it. If it helps here are my computer specs: Intel Core 2 duo 3.2Ghz 2 gigs ddr2 4200 (PNY) 3 sata2 - 250 gig (windows and other OS'S) 1 15 gig WD IDE (OS X 10.4.10) Nvidia Geforce 7600 GTX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
