PR 0.957 crash

[botkilla]

Hi
I'm new here so hopefully I'm posting in the right place.
I just re-installed BF2 and PR 0.957 yesterday and i played 10 minutes yesterday and then it crashed.
Since, I'm even able to see the map... It loads it and crashes.
Please i would like to play this normally and stop raging on my keyboard.
thank you for your help

Well you not getting the full 4 gigs with a 32 bit O/S.
Try bumping up your page file to 1.5 x real ram (6144) set min and max the same.

It good to run battlefield cleaner to flush out your video cache files after a CTD,
then trashing 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.
Hope it helps
