Another fix to try when having crash to desktop issues

[ZeroMedix]

Still having the issue. Running Vista, have 4 gigs of ram and Geforce 9300. Downloaded the game thru EADM. I replaced my BF2.exe with with one in the initial thread. But I have the CD so I didn't screw around with the daemon tools (which I do have, and have used on other games. I even d/l a BF2.iso but it still asks for the disk even when its mounted so i remember i had the disk in the basement and went and got it). Now I'm using the better BF2.exe file, EADM is turned off, I try to run PR and I'm in the game no more than a minute before CTD! *Sigh* what am I missing? I've tried everything... Help PLZ!

THANK YOU!! You have no idea how happy this made me. This is THE fix. Been trying for weeks to get the CTDs to stop..... ahhhh..

[Sandvich]

OK I must of missed something. I mounted it and doesnt ask for CD. Tho when I click on a Sever to join it says in valid CD Key. SO I can't join! so how do I deal with this issue?

[triplexander]

works great now!!! i was really getting frustrated but it finally works now, many thanks

PS that broken copy of BF2 i still had on disc finally comes in handy

[theflidgeface]

wow thx man i can now finally play PR

[ptecrane]

I did this and nothing can anyone else have annother fix this is driving me up the wall

[Pappsen]

I think this is ridiccilous, Why do we, customers who pay money, have to "hack" our own computers to be able to play the best mod ever??

Why cant developers solve this bug, u r the ones who created the bug.

It is like buyng a car and finding out that the brake and clutch is on passangers side... "but it is easy to fix, only take the car apart and move and replace and wiggle here and twiggle there ... and MAYBE it will work"

Nonsens.

We users have to revolt against EA, PB or whichever who r responsible for this.

I DO NOT WANT TO HACK MY COMPUTER; I JUST WANT TO PLAY!


Grrrrrrr

So I did this fix and now I can't even load the game. the game splash screens then screen goes black (to load the game) then it goes right back to desktop

[AncientMan]

That would be because we're on 1.5 now and the download on the original post is for 1.41? This fix is obsolete anyway since BF2 1.5 includes it anyway.

[sabwarfare]

Yes I was just getting on to post that I figured that was the problem but also I swiched it to windowed then back to fullscreen and now it wont crash. not sure if this is temp or not

I'm still getting the 'memory.dll: all alloc attempts failed for size' error whenever I try to play on the larger maps (eg. Qinling or Kashan). I've tried deleting the cache and that doesn't work. I've also changed my pagefile size to 1.5x that of my RAM. I haven't downloaded the modified BF2.exe because I'm running patch 1.5.

My Specs:
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
System Model: EP45-UD3
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 3326MB RAM
Page File: 663MB used, 7489MB available

Card name: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
Display Memory: 512.0 MB

EDIT: I found that for some reason closing Xfire stopped this problem.

Ok, I have read a good bit of this thread and I still can not get my BF2 to work. When I mount the image and placed the new BF2.exe in the folder and renamed the old exe to BF2.old and placed in a new folder it doesnt work. I have the downloadable version, no cd.

I get a flicker on my monitor like the game is loading and then back to desktop.


Im running Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit
My computer specs are below

Quad Core Intel 3.0 gig
8 gig of memory
Nvidia QTX 295

I hope somebody knows a fix, cuz I am burned out on the "Play for 10 min then crash" experience I have been dealing with. Thank you in advance
