    What am I catching? (Complicated problem)

    Ok, this is complicated, but bare with me (follow the problem). Wasn't able to play BF2142 for couple weeks, although I am confused what the problem is to fix.

    Weeks of fustration when to play local (hosting own server), and even single player, the game would flicker, exit onto desktop and then would recieve this error message (attachment). But, if I join a server after map loads, I then press ok (join), I would get a blue screen, then computer reboots on its own (no error message..nothing). I questioned to EA, and I get emails to reinstall, do this and that, but nothing (many times reinstalling deluxe). All the same issues remain. Even reinstalled windows couple times.

    Got it?

    Now, a couple days ago, I purchased a new video card. Installed and played around with it (settings). I load BF2142 (deluxe), and try single player, host own server. The game would exit onto desktop, after a flicker, then error message (same as attachment). But now, I join a server, and I am able to play a few rounds. Exit server, play single player, host own server. No problems. I purposly exit game onto desktop, then start again, then try single player or host own server, I get game exiting onto desktop with error message (attachment).

    Now. what is going on? What could the problem be? If I start playing BF2142 in single player, hosting server, game will exit, then error message. But if joining a server, I then later can play single player, host own server without a problem.

    1. what windows are you running.
    2. It could be several reason
    3. are you running 64 bit processor cause I used to have that and I went in and changed it to run on one processor core
    4. I also had the blue screens and I found out it was my harddrive failed so I put in a used harddrive and now it doesnt do the bluescreens.

    post up your computer specs plz then we can figure out whats going on :)

        For as long as I can remember, I've had an issue with running any sort of local game. It would always CTD for me, like it is for you. I never got bluescreens, though. I've just accepted it as a bug that won't be fixed. However, my MP games work fine.

        I would completely delete your 2142 Deluxe edition from your computer and redownload it. You may just have a corrupt installation.

          Well, new hard drive from 160 Gb to 250GB, new Video Card, from Ati x700 pro to nVidia GeForce 7600 GS, clean Windows install, and problems persists. I am thinking it is my account screw up. From BF2142 to BF2142 Deluxe. Although I am able to play online then single player, or even host my own server right after playing online in a server all is ok. But if I start into single player, host my own server, things happen I get error message to send to microsoft, all I can say all is weird and I have to live and deal with it. Also I have the box version of BF2142 deluxe also the original BF2142.
