Re: how to fix crashing of battlefield

okay dude dont do any search or delete anything else please only do what i tell you. make sure everything is installed on your computer like it was from scratch INCLUDEING THE NEW PATCH. now go to my documents. then click on battlefield 2. just erase all folders in there like dmp, logocache,mods, everything you see in my battlefield 2 folder NOTHING ELSE NO SEARCHES NOTHING. TRY IT AND POST BACK.

deleted my entire battlefield game from the computer went into my docs deleted
battlefield in there ran a search for battlefield deleted any thing that was battlefield related and then re-installed patched ran the game after 10 mins problem was back.

Oh yeah updated all drivers and I mean all mb sound graphics etc. Next thing I will try is opening a new account... after deleting the my docs file.

Re: how to fix crashing of battlefield

Thanks for trying to help mate but at the minute I´ve got some real life things to do. If these things help then great but I am not holding out much hope. I have some experience with PB in other games and these problems started out for most people with the new PB update on Sunday. In Farcry PB problems affected and still affect people totally at random theres no comman factor and people have really looked into it. I believe it is a PB problem because I can play fine on a non pb server or on single player. But will try the cache thing out later.

Re: how to fix crashing of battlefield

That is your Cache. You should listen to what he is saying. Also if you have uninstalled everything then make sure you only patch using 1.03. Lay multiple patches over each other can cause problems. I would also like to say that i have never heard about these "curtian" AMD's. Maybe you could enlighten me?

Ever heard of giving credit to whom it belongs to, dude?
To elaborate, presenting other people's ideas as your own is known as plagiarism.

Besides that, I experienced similar problems with the game crashing. I made the mistake of uninstalling BF2. Now after reinstalling and trying to apply the patch something goes wrong and I can't even start the game anymore. For heaven's sake, why are the idiots at DICE let release games!

Re: how to fix crashing of battlefield

Not sure why you can't launch the game anymore unless you tried to take a shortcut or mdofiy stuff you shouldn't be. Did you try and tweaks with the game. Are you sure that you installed the patch correctly. I don't understand how so many people have these problems. Does anyone know how to trouble shoot? We are supposed to be the computer generation so prove it. So many people post on here before they have actually tried anything. They haven't even read anything. As a IT guy at work I find it frustrating when the end user doesn't give it a shot by themselves first. Or when they don't tell you what they have done because they are embarassed.

I like helping people but i like when they learn something about there computer too. It can be fristrating to have to trouble shoot the same problem over and over for the same person. There are so many thread about this already with the solutions. Use the search function.......

Re: how to fix crashing of battlefield

..but it's frustrating when the problem is likely so far out of your control like PunkBuster being borked

Re: how to fix crashing of battlefield

I tried EXACTLY what you said and it didn't work.

Re: how to fix crashing of battlefield

That's because if you only started seeing this problem recently, it is punkbuster. Try playing on a non-pb server and see what happens.

Re: how to fix crashing of battlefield

If you had followed the forums lately ppl have been suggesting to delete the content of Profiles folder for a long time, it is even covered in the readme.txt of the game:

CHANGES IN HARDWARE AFTER INSTALL

- Problems with PC hardware changes after you have installed
Battlefield 2.

If you change your video or sound hardware to a lower specification
after you have installed Battlefield 2, you may not be able to
start the game.

To remedy this use the Windows Explorer to find and delete the
directory:

\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\

This will reset your game to the default settings. You can
now start the game, retrieve or create a new profile, and re-adjust
the settings using the Menu as normal.

That's all thats needed, you don't need to delete the other folders.

Whoa man, don't take it too seriously.
I'd think if you are frustrated about noobs like me you'd just skip the post and move on..
Do you think I haven't tried searching help for the problem (how do you think I found this forum anyway)?
I did a complete wipe-out of Windows and reinstalled it. I then installed the necessary (and only the necessary) drivers plus BF2 to the default directory. I tried updating with the patch, but as always before I ended up with patching failed. When I first bought the game and used patch 1.02 it worked when I manually installed it. Now trying to install 1.03 manually there are no errors but the game won't start.

SB X-FI
1GB Kingston hyperx
etc.

Try looking in the patchlog.txt, it is usually in this folder ..\My Documents\Battlefield 2\dmp\ but since you are doing it manually it might be in another folder, not sure.
Try doing a search in Windows for patchlog.txt on your harddrive. It can tell you if everything is patched properly and so on.

Re: how to fix crashing of battlefield

The reason I think it is AMD thing is because of the following forum post

http://forums.amd.com/lofiversion/index.php/t55215.html

Or it might be a thing with punkbuster cause it updated Sunday night...just so happens the same night it started to happen.

Re: how to fix crashing of battlefield

It's PunkBuster...stop punishing yourselves.

Re: how to fix crashing of battlefield

So when will it be fixed? I didn't spend 50 dollars on a game to have some outside half ass company runin the online gameplay for myself.
