Battlefield 2 Error, Please help

[unreal253]

Okay. This problem is really bugging me. I installed Battlefield 2 and put patch on and ran the game. It kept having this black screen for about 3 seconds then goes back to the desktop. Then I did multiple reinstallations and many combonations of reinstalling like redoing drivers and directx and stuff. Still had same problem. I went to EAGames tech support, they had nothing on this issue except they said that it has to do with video card drivers. But I already did that. Then I came across a website and there was a way to see what the error was by making the game run in a window by goin to properties and in the target area making the "+fullscreen 1" to make it 0. So I did that then ran Battlefield 2 and it came up with this:

Debug assertion failed!

Okay I saw that theres DX9 in there so I figured it has to do with something with directX but I reinstalled it and it still didnt work. If anyone can help me out please do so PLease!! this game looks amazing.

Are you using an LCD monitor?

[unreal253]

No Im using a 19 Inch CRT Samsung monitor

Thought it might be the refresh rate. Sorry I'm stumped, your specs are ok. I've had trouble with Cat 5.7's, CtD's. I run the original MSI drivers on my install disk. Try rolling the drivers back to 5.6 and see if that helps.

have you ever had the game running? Install from a DVD? Maybe the installation disk is bad....
Where did you get your direct x from...the game cd or online?

[unreal253]

Nah the installation is perfect its from cd. Ive reinstalled direct X several times, from CD and Online Ive tried everything dude. I need help!!!

Its the bloody game code, it sucks and the techs at EA and PB can't figure it out either. Don't totally screw up your computer for this game. Hope the 1.03 patch fixes this ****!

[unreal253]

Yeah I agree, I almost cleared my comp but then I realized it wasnt worth it since the new patch comes out soon. Ill wait till then cause i heard that it has a 140 fixes of bugs, I hope my bug gets fixed by it. But if anyone knows how to fix it any time sooner please say. Thanks

[GeMan]

i had this before
cause i was using a "fixed-exe/*****" files ----> BF2.exe + Core.dll

then i reinstalled the game
i didnt install any ***** patches
i updated the game with patch v1.02
i updated the vid card drivers
and then the game runs ok...................


by the way.........there is also another problem
in my computer i figured out that the game hangs on the black screen
i get out of the game
disabled my LAN card fro the device manager "Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager"

then i run the game
it works
i use Alt+tab to get out and enable my LAN card again









hope that helps everyone

[unreal253]

Heh. Nope didnt work. Tried that just now.. Uhh I really hope 1.03 works. Seriously this game look so good.

Re: Battlefield 2 Error, Please help

Okay I got it to work.. If anyone gets this problem, what I did was uninstall my monitor in my Device Manager by right clicking My Computer and clicking properties, go to advanced tab and then go to Device Manager then under Monitors uninstall then restart then when you start up the computer, itll install again and then restart one more time and it should work. Omg I finally got it working and this game is AAMAZINGGGGGGGG
