Try lowering your texture setting

It could be many problems.
Try posting some more info about your specs and your current pr settings. Try turning your anti-aliasing off and try lowering your textures starting at low and getting higher until you know what texture setting it crashes on.

Both of you can easily hold project reality on max settings. Try running them either as admin or in compatibility mode with windows xp. First step try and turn of anti aliasing that causes many problems within pr and bf2 on vista and windows 7.

I know this is not very neat but:

Please set your ingame video AND audio options to lowest or disabled.
If this stopped the crashing we know that its one of the settings causing it. You can find out which one by testing and resetting one setting to highest one at a time, each test, untill you find the setting that crashes your game.

please note ive already changed preaty much every video setting up and down. also note I can hsot gmaes an play. i jsut CANT join any server, and the msision does not start load. so its unlikely its due to a video setting

Please check your typing before you post.
Right have you tried a clean reinstall of both bf2v and pr?

apologies on typing.


noit this time tough, but some 5 gb worth of downloads is something i avoid at every cost this days....

I had this problem too. I did some investigation and I think I found what the problem is.

The ergc registry key was missing from my registry. It contains your bf2 cd-key and somehow it got deleted.

Do this:
Goto Start menu and write regedit into the search/run bar.

Now find this location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2\

There should be two folders called ergc and wdc. If ergc is missing then I think that is the problem and I have no idea how to fix it. Maybe someone more experienced can shed some light on repairing registries.

[pupo162]

I IS MISSING!, ill try and copy t from a friend, see if it works. thanks!

[pupo162]

and it WORKED!!!

i own you a beer!

simply created a ergc folder, then typed a x932MYCDKEYWITHOUTHYPHENS, and it now logs in!


thanks a LOT mate!
