Strange, new problem...

[MantaMan]

Whenever I load a map, I press "Join Game", and it doesn't crash to the desktop. Can anyone help me? I've got a Pentium D, nVidia Geforce 6800, and 1.5 gigs of RAM.

If you have installed 1.3 correctly then it should immediately be crashing to the desktop. If you have mis-installed it, then it won't crash properly. Try reinstalling the 1.3 update again. If that doesn't crash, then try installing Punkbuster manually. That should break it.

I just installed a gig of ram the other day, upgrading from my 510 mb. Could this be the source of the problem?

Re: Strange, new problem...

Indeed it is possible if you have installed ram that mismatches speeds or just isn't support by the motherboard. Did BF2 work before the installation? If so, then it is a high probability. Try removing the ram and seeing if BF2 once again works. This will be the definitive test.

I get that now and then but I think I found a work around wait a few seconds (15-20 seconds) before clicking the join button or wait until the auto join kicks in, I get less CTD it seems.

BTW I noticed it only happens (CTD) when logging into a server for the first time and clicking the join now button.

LLLOOOOOOLLL!!!
Some people should RTFP!!
But seriously, you should get that checked out mate, the game is MEANT to crash randomly. Mine crashes near the end of a round usually, which of course suits me just fine!

Re: Strange, new problem...

It was because you installed the memory. This must have cleared out the cached part of the page file on the HDD (which contains the offending copy protect file) and reset it.

I was going to say you must have edited your registry to force clear the page file on shutdown.

I think the only way to get it to crash again is to reinstall up to patch 1.22, then play a round then patch to 1.3 and you should get your crash back.

Good luck!

Get in the gun seat of a Vodnik line up a shot against like 4 medics, just as you start to fire the game will usually crash you to desktop. Hope this works!!
