Re: Battlefield 2 Crashing HELP!!!!

What drivers ARE you running?

Re: Battlefield 2 Crashing HELP!!!!

Hey im running the 91.31 Drivers. Didn't think that was the problem because my friend is running it just fine and he has a Gigabyte Geforce 7600GS with those drivers.

Re: Battlefield 2 Crashing HELP!!!!

Role back to the previous drivers

If that doesnt work, reinstall BF2 and reinstall the FULL 1.3 patch, not the incremental

Re: Battlefield 2 Crashing HELP!!!!

Different driver, different outcome. If you are feeling experimental, I have found a procedure elsewhere that may work for you.

go to your windows hosts file and delete any bf2 reference in there.

The path is C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ Just open the hosts file with notepad and remove the reference there.

report back.

Re: Battlefield 2 Crashing HELP!!!!

I had to roll back my forceware drivers. The latest ones suck balls.

Re: Battlefield 2 Crashing HELP!!!!

Ok guys rooled back my drivers to 84.43 Forceware, re-installed the game and applied the 1.3 patch, after the patch it still doesn't open at all so re-installed again and it still freezes and crashes after about 5 seconds of playing. I dont know if i have the full or incremental patch but its filename is bf2_patch_103 and its 171MB.
Also the are no references to Battlefielld 2 in that hosts file.
This really sucks im really not having any luck with this game...

Re: Battlefield 2 Crashing HELP!!!!

Damn that is huge, do u think it could fix the problem because i have a download cap and i dont want to waste half a gig for nothing.

Re: Battlefield 2 Crashing HELP!!!!

The incremental updates have been linked to many a problem. See if someone else will download it and burn it to a disk for you.

Re: Battlefield 2 Crashing HELP!!!!

Shot for you help Simon, and shot for the link tiberiansun, i will download it tonight. Will only be able to c if it works tomorrow morning. Hope it's worth the wait, going to do a fresh install and delete all files related to the game before i install the full patch. Hold thumbs, will keep you posted.
