Happened to me once before, was quicker to reinstall + patch then to try and figure out whats wrong.

Re: Bf2 Wont Start!! - Please Help Some1!

has anyone found a reslove for this? I have been playing for a while now, had the screen Error bug but got it fixed through EA. Now I have the loading up, black screen back to desktop. WTH? No changes.....no problems with game play.


Specs: plenty for bf2
VGA 6800 gt : drivers have not changed in 4 weeks...so no update screw ups.
kills me...I submitted a request to EA....which usually good about responding. No answer yet.
I already used the Manual method from these forums...(thanks) to remove all bf2. I reinstalled. Restarted. Installed patch 1.3. Restarted. Installed incrimental 1.3-1.4. Restarted. Launched game.......same dumb black screen to desktop crash.
any advice so I can play this Rainy weekend?.... :cry:

Re: Bf2 Wont Start!! - Please Help Some1!

try the full 1.4 patch instead of the incrimental one, solved it for me.

Re: Bf2 Wont Start!! - Please Help Some1!

fellas...
After many efforts of many things to get bf2 back up, I was resolved to completely uninstall all my Forceware drivers for nVidia. Restarted. Downloaded the latest, October release forceware drivers...(again from the exact same nVidia site as previously). I installed them. Restarted. Whhhaaallaaa....I am back online with bf2. :cry: :cry: :cry:

I tried everything that said in here and I still have the same exact problem as you guys, really pissing me off now because I re-installed the whole game plus I did numerous other things and it hasn't made a difference but please help me if you can, thank you!

You have to delete the folder that stores your video setting from when you last play BF2. I believe is on my documents/bf2/profiles/ or something similar, and look for a folder or maybe more than one, that have like numbers kind of like a windows key as the name of the folder, and delete, all of them. Also if that does not work, around the same place look for one that says video.con i thing go in it with notepad, and at the resolution change it to 800X600 and make sure the refresh rate in there is also supported by your monitor. I am at work so i can't tell you exactly which folder, but look for them under my documents on the bf2 folder.
