This is strange - I can't get BF2 to run at all, before or after the patch. I downloaded the patch from two different sites, don't use a CD-crack, and have never had any crashing problems before.
To begin:
I downloaded the incremental patch and installed it to a previously working install of BF2. I got a "Can't find Install folder" error so the patch would not install at all. I have it installed on my F: drive, btw.
I go for the complete uninstall -- registry cleaned and so on. I am on my 2nd install, and I can't even get BF2 1.0 to load out of the splash screen at the beginning. Straight crash to desktop.
I have: AMD 64 3200+, Gigabyte 6800GT, 1.5 MB RAM, WinXP SP 2 (with the latest security updates from yesterday), and the Creative X-Fi Xtreme sound card (also onboard sound enabled for TeamSpeak).
The only thing I haven't tried yet is to use the default install location on the C drive. I don't know why this would be a problem, because I've used either my E or F drive without any issues since June.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
