Reality Mod Crashes to Desktop

Post by pocho86 »

I have tried about 6 times to run the game and it completely crashes to desktop every time roughly about 5-10 minutes into a game. What it does is it kind of lags or some times or freezes then )PooF( - gone. It goes to desktop and it does not do any thing like have an error messege pop up or any thing. just restart the game and go again. Help Some One :-x

In your PR 0860 desktop icon, right click and choose properties, then in target or destination, click at the end of the line, press space and type in +fullscreen 0 and press OK.

Load up PR, it should now open up in windowed mode, and should give you and error when the crash occurs. Then look that error up on Google.

A: The most common cause of this is that you are running out of memory (though there are other causes). BF2 was a memory intensive game, and PR only increases on that.

First, you can try lowering your video settings, in particular, Textures. If that doesn't help or fix your issue, you can try increasing your virtual memory.

If that STILL doesn't work, you can try patching your bf2.exe to allow it to use more than 2GB of memory. This is only useful if you indeed do have more than 2GB of memory. Firstly, you want to backup your current bf2.exe in your "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2" (default install location) folder. To do this, simply rename it from bf2.exe to bf2.exe.original. You should back it up incase you have any issues in the future. Now you need to download the patched bf2.exe. This can be found in THIS zip file (THIS one if your using the EA Downloader version) (If you get a virus warning, ignore it, just a false positive). Then simply extract it next to bf2.exe.original, and your good to go.
At others, can you please check what sort of temperatures your CPU and or Graphics card are getting up to please.

Re: Reality Mod Freezes During login (establishing connection page)

Post by ShiftyEYE »

Everytime I try to login in and establish connection PR freezes. I guess it freezes because it just stays locked on the establishing connection page. It doesn't crash, it just doesn't do anything. Any thoughts? Much appreciated. Cheers- {PR}ShiftyEYE :roll:

Have you been able to play BF2 O.K.?
Try backing up your BF2 folder inside your documents folder. Once you have it backed up, delete the original, then restart PR and relink to your online account. If you still get CTD after relinking you should uninstall, reboot and reinstall PR.

Good luck

I've got my textures set to medium, replaced my BF2.exe with that 'fixed' one, tried with and without my xfi installed and still getting crashes at a consistent amount of time after playing (around 5 mins).

Running in windowed mode only stops the terrain texture from rendering, gives no errors at all.

I'm running the Windows 7 RC 32bit and using the downloaded version of BF2.

Since uninstalling the download-able version and installing the DVD version the issue has not reoccurred.

I have the same thing, everything seems to work fine until 5 min. into a game, then the game freezes and suddenly crashes to desktop; really frustrating. Only happens to me in PR though, i've had it happen to me in BF2 before but not at the moment. I did not have this problem with version 0.85.

check out this one "Another fix to try when having crash to desktop issues", it worked fine for me, i had an old copy of BF2 on disc (which is not required) so it was very straightforward, hope it works for u guys as well... ;-)
