Re: My First 1.4 CTD and how-to Analyze it

I went for several months without playing BF2. I just started playing again last week with the 1.4 update. I've experienced numerous freezes, usually within the first 15 minutes of gameplay. I've had 3 CTD's, the latest of which yielding the following dump info:

BF2 is unplayable now, so far as I'm concerned. Bummer. It was a great game.

For what it's worth, this CTD happened immediately after playing about 40 minutes of Ghost Town, while the game was loading resources for the next map (map unknown):

Re: My First 1.4 CTD and how-to Analyze it

Well I played Karkland for 2 hours yesterday with no crashes but today I was on Dalian plant for about 5 minutes then CTD. I hope EA checks these forums.

Toshiba Satellite Laptop
Intel Core Duo T2400 @ 1.83ghz
1GB 533mhz DDR2
Nvidia Go 7300 256mb

BF2 @ 800x600 all settings at medium and getting around 50-60fps

Re: My First 1.4 CTD and how-to Analyze it

fwiw, i have up'd my settings from 800x600 to 1024x768, and i lowered textures to low, the game is cleaner and so far only 2 CTDs in two days or about 8+ hrs of playing.

Re: My First 1.4 CTD and how-to Analyze it

this is for a ctd at startup-
d:\Aphrodite\BF2_1.4\Code\BF2\RendDX9\RendDX9Inin. cpp(468) : Error: RendDX9: Failed to create d3d device. Unknown cause. Invalid call [EOF]'

I had this same problem a few months ago- I would click BF2, there would be a black screen as if the program was starting normally, then the black screen would go away and id be looking at my desktop again. I took a break from bf2 for a few months after i could not once start the program, then I decided to completely uninstall and reinstall bf2 once 1.4 came out. It worked fine after this, until just today, when I started having this problem again. My video card is almost new, my computer is pretty good, I have just over a gig of ram, and bf2 ran perfectly before this. I suppose this is something wrong with DirectX, but I reinstalled DirectX and ran dxdiag-still crashes to desktop. I dont want to reinstall the whole program just to experience this problem again. This is also the first and only problem I've had with 1.4.

EDIT: Yes it was directX! For some reason my directX was screwed up, and when I upgraded it to the latest directX (9.0c i think) , for some reason it didnt work. But when I installed the previous version (9.0b) and restarted, it started up again perfectly! Hope this helps.

How did you downgrade DirectX??? My problems also started after installing 9.0c.

Re: My First 1.4 CTD and how-to Analyze it

I am desolate, i just spent nearly two grand on an Alienware rig, this thing is a monster, 2 gig RAM, 2x Intel 2.16 dual core processor, 2 x GeForce 7900GT, 250 gig hard drive, Nvidia motherboard, this thing is brand new, and in theory should eat alive any games graphics requirements out there today.

However, BF2 crashed to desktop after about 5 minutes of game time, and this happens every time, even with graphic options scaled down!!!!!!!

I am horrified, and emotionally unstable as a result of this travesty, someone please help.

I have latest Nvidia drivers, 1.4 full patch, it used to run fine on my old machine (at low graphic settings) and on this new machine, which i have forked out serious cash for only a few weeks ago, the damn thing is crashing every time!!!

Someone please please help!!!!!!!

Re: My First 1.4 CTD and how-to Analyze it

I can recreate the problem in the original post exactly, by starting off as USA, playing for a while, then when dying, succesfully switching to MEC/PLA. The second you switch teams, it CTDs. It even happens if the server autobalances you, which is pretty annoying. It never used to happen, that's what I don't get.

Re: My First 1.4 CTD and how-to Analyze it

1.41 has yet to show me any errors.

Which means that I haven't got any major errors other than a few CTD's in 1.41
