Game crashing after 3-4mins of gameplay

[Makikou]

Soo, i got a first problem with PR here, after taking a break off PC for 2 weeks now, i try to play PR, game runs fine for 3-4minutes and then it just flashes out -> crash without error messages.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
AMD Phenom II X2 545 3.0GHz
ATi Radeon HD5750 1GB
Melco 2x2gt DDR3 1333MHz

Every other game works fine!

Update PB with pbsetup
?

Are you running it as administrator?

PB is updated, running as administrator.

Right click on the PR icon > properties, then in 'target' or 'destination' add +fullscreen 0 at the end, then it will run in windowed mode and will give you an error message when it crashes.

Nope, it just flashes -> changes my Windows 7 Theme to Basic, then it just shuts down and my theme is back to normal, no messages or anything.

If you still have trouble run battlefield cleaner to flush out your video cache files

Still no joy?

Trash your BF2 cache files
Path:
C:\Users\'your user name here'\Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache

Throw EVERYTHING inside the folder named cache away.
don't worry the files will be replaced with new ones when the game restarts.

Still CTD?
OK
Some other things you can try before you uninstall/reinstall.
Backup your BF2 folder that's inside your documents folder.
Once you have a backup delete the original from your documents folder.
Try starting PR from your PR shortcut
a new default folder is created
link to your online account.
If all goes well (CTD gone) all you have to do to get your custom settings back
is copy your 'control' file from your backup to the new profile folder.
path:
C:\Users\your user name here\Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0002
note: you may not have a 0002 folder so use 0001

Hope it helps
