Crash after 1,2 patch HELP needed...

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

Got mine working a treat last night - yay.

Patch is very good imo, and the game runs sooooo much better now - not tried SF yet though, that will be the real test.

Just need to remember to rename Game.exe back to BF2.exe on the next patch - lol.

Scort.

P.S. Anyone know how to shut that guy up, the one who give you in-game audio advice on how to play, he's doing my head in

I like the way that those of you who renamed the exe are blaming DICE/EA somehow.

Seconded, if you go around changing filenames or modifiyinh files and then Blaming Dice for it, Learn to take responsibility for your actions.

Changing the BF2 (NO CD crack) or it's name will make the update fail indeed. You will have to reinstall BF2 completely. IMO you should always try a complete BF2 reinstall before you consider something as a problem.

Hmmmm, Olla was the only one to blame EA......

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

I'm having problems with the new 1.2 patch also.

OK, I uninstalled BF2, used Computer Cleaner to clean out any BF2 residue (registry files, etc.), Defragged hard drive, and then reinstalled BF2.
Then I ran the FULL VERSION 1.2 patch.
Game starts fine. But when I try to join a server the game crashes to desktop (CTD) during the map loading.

I've tried on 2 different servers 3 times now and the same pattern keeps repeating: Game begins to load.....gets to around the "loading geometries" phase....then CTD.

Any advice on what may be the problem?

btw- I tested the reinstall and it worked just fine before I patched it. DO I need to download the patch again?

Any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
KickPhucker

Hi,
I would try renaming your "Battlefield 2" folder within My Documents - allow the game to create a new one.

Well I'm having the same problem. The screen goes black just before the map begins to load. I haven't changed any names, installed any ***** cracks or anything like that. The last thing I did was run Battlefield2_code.exe in my Support folder. (I ran that .exe because I saw people suggesting that to help fix the invalid CD-key error). -_-

I renamed the file back to the origonal before running the patch and didnt have a problem.
