The exe crashes for me whenever I complete a mission. The crash is after the level completion cutscenes for at least the first three missions, thus far.
This happens with original disc and with a mounted image(FULL) in Daemon Tools . Oh well, wait for the patch, after BF2 1.3 this is cake.
If anyone can isolate it further, post your findings.
BTW: Your'e gonna need SPTD-Driver, V1.35 if your using Daemon Tools so update before you bother with image.
