Crashes After Login

[foxhound187]

Hi peoples

Well I just got Special Forces, regular BF2 been working sweet on its own
soon as I install Special Forces first I had the shaders issue fixed that now
when I try login to the account server it just sits there and crashes back
to desktop after about 20 seconds.

So I re-applied the BF2 1.3 patch same thing nothing happens, however
when I just try to login through BF2 normally no problem, but whenever
I try run SF I get this issue, my machine is very capable 1gig of DDR2
Athlon64 3500+ and a solid GPU no probs here.

So I'm interested in your input here so fire away some ideas
they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Foxhound

How did you fix the shader issue in the beginning?

Shader issue.
I think you may find this to be of help m8

Apparently, a lot of people have had problems with installing Special Forces after the 1.3 update. Here's what I did to fix it.

If you get the "syncronize shaders/lighting.fx not found" issue, then you'll need to copy the following files:

Copy all of the files from:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\shaders_client
to:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\shaders

and

Copy all of the files from:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\xpack\shaders_client
to:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\xpack\shaders

After you have copied the files, install the FULL 1.3 patch, as the SF install will remain at version 1.1, even though your vanilla BF2 will be up to date. This will prevent you from receiving a modded map error when you try to load one of the SF maps
