odd crash when launching bf2 v1.41

[Evoke]

ok so i finally bought bf2 and installed it so i cud play PR

now when i launch it i get a error sound and it crashes to desktop, never had that before with the pirated versions

[viraL]

Whats your refresh rate set at? anything capped above 85 hertz? Bf2 will crash.

[Evoke]

ok how do i change that if i even cant get into the game?

[WAAKOW]

I had the same trouble. Is this when you try to go into a server, and right when your about to start it blacks out and crashes?
I found the solution for this but only by luck. It's really easy too.

You restart your computer.

waakow, read the 1st post again, it says clearly after launching the game DUR and restarting doesnt work lmao (kinda obvious ive tried that)

snakemuck i tried that and sadly it didnt work, im gonna try reinstalling dx, video drivers and sound drivers

and i get this when its almost done installing







*edit: LOLOLOLOLOLOL i got it to windowmode with a shortcut to see the error and guess what it said ---------------- i dont have dx9.0c, i have dx10 LMAO

Well let's see here... you are running Windows 7 right? so my first thought would be to try running it in different compatibility modes. Check your video drivers and update or roll-back as necessary. Run memtest for the hell of it. Also... even if you get it running on W7 I think PB won't work correctly for W7... I've heard this but then again it might be fixed by now.

You could try going to:
C:\Documents and Settings\ ___ \My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\sound
And disabling the voice stuff.

Besides that... I dunno I'll think on it.

Aloha =)

no, xp pro sp3, now that im back on dx9.0c im getting no error but it still crashes when i launch it
dont have a directory like \My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\sound
all drivers up to date

[SnakeShit]

you were using hacked dx10?  tsk tsk

[ZenPhire]

dont have a directory like \My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\sound

Well then wherever it's store on your PC. (The profile data)

Isn't the profile created when you start the game and create a profile?  If he's yet to do that...

Did you check refresh rates? Like I said if anything is forced to above 85hz it won't work. Had this problem for ages and couldn't figure it out. It's cause ReForce forced 100hz on 800x600 for CS.

why dont u reinstall dx10 ¿

why dont u reinstall dx10 ¿

coz it gave a error that i dont have dx9.0c on when i launched bf2, now that i have dx9.0c it still crashes but without a error

you were using hacked dx10?  tsk tsk
