BF2 Suddenly crashing to desktop

Re: BF2 Suddenly crashing to desktop

In recent weeks random CTD's have been occuring on my pc alot. Also when i enter my pass to my main account it says it is invalid...even though it had been working 10 minutes before. The problems keep on comeing with BF2 and im tired of trying to just get into a normal (no crashes, no invalid password messages, no freezes) game.

I as well tried to add this to my brothers computer last night and only had a quick 10 minutes to do it and couldn't make it work. His system is identical to mine (Built them both).

I will figure this out over the weekend and post what I did to fix it. I will say that when I did it on my computer, I followed the instructions regarding both renaming and making the bat file to the letter. When I was on his system, I winged it mostly from memory and at my age, it wasn't the wisest decision I made late on a Thursday.

I'll post again tomorrow and sorry for the delay,

Simon

I had the same problem, when I click join right when it appears. Now I count to 10 when it appears and I havent had a CTD.

Re: BF2 Suddenly crashing to desktop

Use older Nvidia drivers if you are using an Nvidia card. I downgraded back to 84.?? something and the crashes and lagging became a lot less common.

Also like an above poster mentioned, make BF2 run at a high priority, an easy way to do this is, run BF2 get to the login screen, alt+tab out, Ctrl+alt+Del then in the processes list right click BF2 and set priority to high. I was actually able to play for a couple hours straight last night after doing all that.

Follow the tweaking guide, but above all dump the crap new drivers.

Re: BF2 Suddenly crashing to desktop

I have no idea what Ignore Asserts is was already there it's part of the Special Forces Icon so i just added the Name and Password thing after it.

Great Idea on setting Priority useing Task Manager, been all over Microsoft site looking for a perminate way to set the .exe through windows xp, will keep up the hunt and post if I find something. Thanks

Re: BF2 Suddenly crashing to desktop

By the way I fixed my problem by using my secondary drive as my new primary and reinstalled everything.
