Battlefield 2 Crash to Desktop

[ButkuS]

looks i find problem why Battlefield 2 crash to desktop after 5min or 10min~.
the problem looks in "Battlefield 2 v1.0 [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed EXE"

SOLUTION!!! use "Battlefield 2 [ALL] No-CD/Fixed Image #2" with DAEMON Tools 3.47

just do full reinstall for BF2, mount mini-image with daemon tools and play

I Recommend download new nvidia Drivers for nvidia cards users from ww.nvidia.com i use 77.72 Version.


one more problem with bf2
if your PunkBuster client hasn't updated itself.

1. Go to www.punkbuster.com and click on Battlefield 2.
2. Click on Download of Software updates.
3. In the notice, click the link that says PBWEB.
4. Download the pbweb.exe, and place it in BF2's PB folder. No sub folders.
5. Run it.
6. When it finishes, your done!


p.s. sorry my english is bad

My problem is CTD everytime a new map is loaded.
I´m using the mini-image #2, but tested no-cd file and same problem.

BF2 never crashes for me randomly. Only on new map loading on MP. Never Single player....


My settings:
AMD64 3000+ 2Ghz
Gigabyte K8NS
Soundblaster Audigy 2
Geforce 6800 GT 2400 Golden Sample
Latest Forceware drivers
Two WD ATA100 drives
1Gb Kingston DDR400

hm you test demo version ? too crash ???

[karlmueller]

If the crashes only occur in multiplayer it is an CD-Key issue. Someone else uses the same CD-Key as you. And as soon as two players connects to a server with the same CD-Key FADE will be enabled and let the game crash.

Solution:
User your original CD-Key and don't share it with others!

Have Fun!!!

whats the difference between fade and santa claus?

some ppl claim to have seen santa claus, fade on the pc (flashpoint) was hype, linked to the cd key, dont believe the hype

[DABhand]

Fade was real.

Just it was pants, and never really worked 100%

Couple of questions if you don't mind as I am CTD on startup

1.. Have you installed 1.02 patch ?
2.. Are you running nocd crack ?
3.. Did you buy new ram or is there a setting somewhere to change it ?
Thanks .

Ok, this is what i did.
Have the original game installed, everything (.exe and .dll).
Exit any CD/DVD emulators.
Install the upgrade (e.g. v1.03).
Enable the CD/DVD emulator.
Load the Mini-image in the emulator.
Run the game!

It didn't work for me It tells me that I've got an emulator running.

EDIT: Found this topic and it helped!

You have to start the game with administrator-rights.

[penkis88]

where bouts do u go to start that from GLH....

@penkis88

You have to start the game with administrator-rights.

Right Click the BF2 Desktop Shortcut and choose 'Run as Adminstrator'.

I dont have Vista installed so cant give you the exact location (wether you need to go to properties?) but the 'Run as Administrator' option is definately available from the Right Clicking of the Desktop shortcut.
