[shafik]

After fresh install, patched to 1.03. Game crashes right after the Battlefield 2 Logo comes on. Please report similar issues in THIS thread.

Re: CTD after 1.03

I just installed the 1.03 patch and tried to run battlefield 2 and the same thing happens to me. I tried restarting my computer and running the game through the auto run feature by ejecting the cd and then inserting it and no dice. AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!



EDIT: After uninstalling the game and reinstalling, then patching with 1.03, my game seems to be working fine. Perhaps the new patch conflicts with the older 1.02 patch? If this is the case, I would urge people to uninstall,reinstall, and then patch using the 1.03 patch from EA's site (first patch I downloaded was from Filefront and it didn't work [although I didn't try the reinstall before I patched with it so it may work]).

Re: CTD after 1.03

im getting the same thing, except mine dosnt even make it to the login menu, it just starts up the loading splash .. screen goes black, then back to desktop.

AMD 64 4000+
1 gig 3200 DDR
GeForce 7800 GT OC w/ 78.05 Drivers
ASUS A8N-SLI Mobo


EDIT::: POSSIBLE SOLUTION - IT WORKED FOR ME
Delete your profile folders (in my documents) and update punkbuster, it now loads for me just fine :)!!

Re: CTD after 1.03

Having the same problem. CTD directly after the logo splash. I am running Windows XP with all the latest drivers for everything from my graphics card to my chipset.

Also tried on my other OS, Windows XP 64, which has older drivers. Same problem, straight CTD after the logo.

Tried reinstalling, letting the game create a new profile folder and more, nothing helps so far.

UPDATE
After reading the above, I tried updating my punkbuster via their webpage, and I also renamed my profile folder thus letting the game create a new one. Unfortunately it is still the same for me. Instant CTD after the logo.

Re: CTD after 1.03

Sounds very weird. There are a lot of people reporting this problem. It doesn't happen to me though, just smooth Gameplay.

Maybe it's a hardware problem, like maybe the game doesn't like a certain brand anymore o_O

I'm all Intel and ATi though.

Re: CTD after 1.03

Re: CTD after 1.03

Well I just deleted my Profiles folder for nothin... :)

Re: CTD after 1.03

I have an Intel p4 2.4 and a Raedon x850 xt (ati) so I don't think it's a hardware issue. Probably just bad coding on Dice's part.

Re: CTD after 1.03

Next time, rename the original folder

Re: CTD after 1.03

did you guys delete or rename your video files so that BF2 would load faster? if you did that might be the problem. I guess not if you did a fresh install. Nvidia Drivers maybe? Im still using the ones that came with BF2 CD/DVD

Re: CTD after 1.03

Didnt delete anything.

Re: CTD after 1.03

Im running a XFX6600GT with the drivers that came with BF2 CD/DVD. Could be drivers? worth a try.

Re: CTD after 1.03

Did any of you experiencing problems have a problem with installing the patch aswell?

Re: CTD after 1.03

It said patching failed, like 1.02. so I did what I did back then: Take the actual files from the TEMP directory and run them from the root BF2 directory. Worked fine in 1.02. Doesnt seem to work here. From what i can tell, and the way my monitor twitches, its something to do with graphics, or refresh rates.
