Crash after 1,2 patch HELP needed...

[pYura]

I've just installed the new 1,2 patch... when I start the game the screen goes black than I see a huge mouse cursos for a sec. than it disappears and the game closes without any error report...:|:

Previously I have renamed the BF2.exe file, so there is a chance that the patch did not update it It is 7,05MB in size, donno what to think... how bid is yours?

I've tried updateing the 1,12 patch but it doesnt help... the game still crashes and the 1,2 patch sais it needs the 1,12 version. whats wrong??!

I too had this problem, and I dont know if it has anything to do with changing the BF2.EXE, but i changed mine also.

Anyway, a clean install, followed by 1.12 and then the incremental worked fine. You could try downloading the full patch and do that. Might be easier.

Why would you change the file name? Just curious.

You are joking aren't you? I mean, how exactly do you expect the patch to find bf2.exe if you have renamed it ?

Same problem here, I also renamed my BF2 exe file - reason being, is that a tweak guide mentioned ATi Catalyst drivers 'detect' the exe as Battlefield 2 and apply optimisations on the fly.

Supposedly, the game runs better once the exe is renamed - did for me.

I have just uninstalled SF and BF2 and am just about to finish the re-installation of everything.... damn, now I have to listen to that damn guy telling me how to play the gaem again

Scort.

Re: Crash after 1,2 patch HELP needed...

Why didn't you just just change the file name back to bf2.exe rather than reinstalling everything?

[Scort]

Re: Crash after 1,2 patch HELP needed...

I tried that, but it still crashed, so like the OP said, it probably failed to patch.

No biggy though, the re-install didn't take long, lesson learnt

Scort.

Doh, forgot about that part. I did that as well, going to have to change that back before I do the patch later today. .

Why would he use a modified exe when he can get a mini image?

[ptegan]

Re: Crash after 1,2 patch HELP needed...

Because there was a thread in the past that explained that if you renamed the BF2.exe file to something else it'd increase the gfx performance.

Everytime a patch comes out though the support forum files up with people who tried to apply a patch over a ***** crack version of BF2.exe

I couldnt get the mini-image to work. I still run off the disc. But i renamed my file to hide it from the nVidia drives. Which did seem to help.
