just started the game up, its lookin' fine now.

and yes, i know my video card is pretty crappy, but it runs the game fine on low graphics (i can set a few things to high). Im going to be getting a new one soon, probably a GF 8800 (go big or go home, right?)

so, i bought BF2 a couple days ago, and just recently downloaded the latest patch. I found myself tinkering with the video options so that i could have the best graphics possible but still have my GeForce 6150 run the game smoothly. After a little tinkering i started up a singleplayer game to see how it looked. The character models were invisible and guns, vehicles, and pretty much everything except terrain had a slight shade of pink. i figured it was just that i had something set to high, so i turned everything back down to see if the problem was fixed. Now, most things look fine, except that all the tree trunks look pink, and when you look directly at the sun, instead of a glow theres a big pink block.

so anyways, im guessing this is the patches fault. is there anything i can do? did anyone else have this problem?

im a relatively new PC gamer (just got a new one after suffering years with a piece of crap). I've just been playing half life 1 and TFC, but i will soon be buying Battlefield 2.

My question is, what patches should i donwload? i know they're necassary, but i  dont know which ones to download. Do I just download a crap load, or is there one "mega" patch, that covers everything?

.........i feel like such a n00b right now...
