[Solved] BF2 Memory Error - Freeze or CTD on Map Change

[DawgMach1]

Sorry if this is a repost, I didn't find a match (but I was able to fix my Mumble connection issue... ).

Any way, since loading 0.97 PRV, during the map change my system will freeze or CTD. The error log states "BF2 Memory Error".

After I kill the session, restart PR, I can get in another server, play another round, map change, freeze / CTD, etc...

Any thoughts? Could it be a settings problem?

Thanks,

Update: Dropped video to settings to medium and still get the same freeze or CTD.

Is this happening on Ia Drang map perhaps or all PRV maps? Does it happen in standard PR, with standard maps or just PRV?

Post your specs and OS version.

Moved to BF2 support.

Solved - It was happening on all maps. Turns out I wasn't running Mumble in ADMIN mode so it would make the initial link when starting BF2-PR, but crash the game during map changes while trying to link up / waiting for WIN7 admin approval.

Thanks!

Quite odd solution. Im running Mumble and PR as admin on Win7 64bit all the time from the beginning and I haven't experienced something like this. Neither I heard it may help in some scenarios, and I also dont understand how it helps.

On map change Mumble does not have to link you up again to the server, its only switching you from your squad channel ( if you were in any squads ) to server root channel. Thats why I cant understand how this helps.

I'm going to leave it ope another 24h. If problem arises post feedback here, if not all well.

Ok, you're right, that didn't fix the problem. However, odd enough the problem wasn't consistent during the weekend.

System:
OS: Win 7 Pro 32bit
CPU: AMD 64 X2 6000+ (3.01 Ghz)
RAM: 4 GB (4 sticks)
Video: 2 EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ SLI Mode

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

***Edit - I just adjusted my RAM allocation per the *sticky* thread at the top of BF2 Support. Will advise if that fixes the problem.***

Cheers!

Solved - The RAM allocation fixed the CTD / Freeze during map change.
