Help please

[Great Sjul]

Starting yesterday, whenever I join a host online, the map loads up. When I click the join game button, the whole game exits to my desktop. The game was working up until yesterday.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Help please

try pressing Esc key to get into the game instead of clicking the Join button,, its 1.3 causing the problem when theirs a finished version of 1.4 it should be fixed :)

Re: Help please

I have the same problem about once a week. I simple clean out the Bf-2 Logo Cache files and the Bf-2 cache files. Don't forget the BF-2SF cache files if you have that. then I restart the game in single player let the Shaders reoptimize, then play as normal in Multi player. Also it seems that I load in and I am more lag free after this is done.

Re: Help please

Thanks everyone, but one quick noob question, what is the cache?

Re: Help please

i think hes referring to ur shader files which should be cleared everytime u change video settings but i dont think itll help with this problem

its located in
C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache\{D7B71E3E-4062-11CF-7A53-B32100C2CB35}_2878_1
and its perfectly safe to delete everything in that file
