Crash to desktop NEW

Post by fladohado »

Hey, I know a lot of people have posted about this problem... After about 10 mins into a game I crash to desktop randomly without error or anything. I tried set affinity and unchecking CPU1 and leaving CPU0 checked. I also have tried putting my resolution to 1024x768. That is all the help i could get from other posts and it still does it... I don't no what else to do, so if anyone knows something that can fix this please respond, it will be greatly appreciated!

It might be your cpu overheating.
Download Speedfan or some other program to check up your temperatures.
Also give us more info on history ( when did pr start crashing, does other games work?)

to get an error msg from bf2 you can start it in windowed mode:
change your shortcut's parameters to "+fullscreen 0" ie:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +fullscreen 0
try reproducing the error and
then google the error message you get from bf2 if you do not find a solution post back here

The most common causes of CTD are:
Failure to uninstall any previously installed versions of PR.
This can easily be done via the Windows Control Panel
'Add and Remove Programs' icon, under "Project Reality 0.x".*,
then delete the PR folder to remove any leftover files.
Don't forget to delete the desktop short as well.
PRv.87 uses 2 installers. You must install both 'core' and 'levels'.
It is recommended that you restart your system after you install/uninstall programs
to ensure all installed components, files and registry entries are correctly installed or removed.

BF2 not updated to v 1.41 before patching with v1.5
FULL update 1.41
Final v1.5

Some have posted Updating with the
1.41 update and/or 1.5
Sometimes does not complete, but looks like it does.
To find your version of BF2
run PR in 'windowed' mode
To do so
Right click on shortcut.
Choose properties from bottom of list.
Modify the text in your shortcut's 'target' window.

Change
+fullscreen 1
to
+fullscreen 0

When running game
Look at the upper left corner
you should see
v.1.5.3153-802.0

Hi,
I'm having the same problem that "fladohado" has just described. The game COMPLETELY crashes after a short amount of time (3-10min.)
Actually i couldn't deal with it...
tried to "uninstall" the older versions, but all I could find was the "Project Reality Patch 0.874" (50GB!)
Windowed mode didn't help; sometimes it even crashes at "100% Veryfing ClientData" reason: Memory XYZ blah .dll

I do need help !
