How to diagnose CTD error

Post by M4sherman »

Ok I was messing with PRSP before I went to work and forgot to test for errors before I left and now I cant remember what I was messing with so I am stuck with a 14% (objects) CTD that I cant find what is causing it.

Is there any program that could tell me which file the game is loading just prior to the crash?

Run it in windowed mode, ie in your shortcut have +fullscreen 0.

that will give you the problem source. It may just be easier to redownload the level though, and always make copys of your installs etc ;)

Left click on desktop shortcut.
Wait a sec. then left click on shortcuts name.
Once the 'name' is highlighted (in blue) you can rename it what ever you want.

Good luck

Right click on your shortcut and go to properties, then in the target box add +fullscreen 0 after the pr.exe

yes, it could look like this:

Code: Select all

"C:\GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 0
