Angry with Vista (game shuts down)

Post by AKS74U »

Hi guys. Im new the the forums and I LOVE Project Reality so much

But I have a problem, I just switched over to Vista and I dont like it because I can't play my favorite game :(


The game starts fine, but when i join a server and it finishes loading the game shuts down to my desktop...I looked at tons of threads about it and i'm having no luck... My shortcut names are fine, I tried the BAT file thing that someone posted but no luck.....

Any advice? I really want to shoot an AK47.

Why not an AKS74U :P . Make sure BF2.exe and PR.exe have admin privileges. In addition, try giving pnkbstrA and B admin, privileges, as well.

P.S. Welcome to the Forums.

P.P.S. If that doesn't work, try turning textures and texture filtering down.

P.P.P.S. What are your system specs?

P.P.P.P.S. The AK-47 stinks. If you are insurgent, get the AK-74.

P.P.P.P.P.S. This should be moved to the correct sub-forum :P .

9800GTX
3 gigs DDR2
9650 Quad core

The AK47 gets the job done for me.

Thanks for the reply

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.

Hope that helps mate :D

All you have to do is set all settings to high except TEXTURES, which should be set to MEDIUM.
