Hey guys,

 

Im having this issue sometimes where when I select the bigD server, from the server browser window, it pretty does a CTD. Sometimes I can restart PR and do it and it will work, sometimes it will CTD multiple times in a row. Not sure what to do, it may just be a BF2 thing but if anyone has any tips, that would be great….

reinstall for a simple way

happens to me 2, i just start up PR again and its usually fine

I havent reinstalled PR core file but have done a reinstall of the maps, still no go...Maybe ill try a reinstall of PR core...

Vista?

nah XP, if i can WINE running, soon to be Linux

Have you tried turning off your firewall/antivirus? My 'proactive' Antivirus hates PB right now and firewall hates BF2. Slowing getting to the root of their differences...

well if you can be botherd but you should is reinstall every thing of bf2 even deleting you profiles

its old way to help fix bugs of the bf2v

i dont have AV as I take care of my own AV scanning but yeah i do turn my firewall off, more so because it causes sudden lag for me...Need to find a new firewall....

BF2 is a very very fragile game. Generally an entire reinstall of BF2 (uninstall, delete left over folder + My Documents\Battlefield 2 folder, reinstall) fixes it.

Personally (touch wood) my BF2 doesn't play up but ppl that do sometimes use this...

Battlefield Cleaner is a small used to help optimize BF2 .

cheers spicy, will give it a go...

Infidel,

 

If the reinstall doesn't help then step 2 - What hardware do you have and what router/modem?

 

I slowly developed CTD's with my last PC and when I finally replaced the Motherboard after a terminal failure guess what? All the CTD's disappeared completely. A *slightly* dodgy motherboard or, worse, cheap RAM is a common culprit in these cases. In my case, the PC was working fine for nearly 2 years but over the past 3 or 4 months it started playing up in BF2 as the heat slowly killed the MoBo...

 

Otherwise the problem might be a router setting but if it was working before with no problems then that is unlikely.

my pc is pretty old, wouldnt be suprised if its hardware causing it. I actually get major kernel level crashes aswell during gameplay of TF2 and BF2...Maybe i should look at upgrading, plus, it will mean i can play at a higher resolution than 1024x768 and increasing my settings from all Low

Well there's never been a better time than now to buy a new PC... decent PCs are available (sans M/K, Monitor... peripherals) for ~$700!!! About $1000 will net you something that can max out -almost- everything, except the latest and "greatest" that go overboard with graphics
