PR online COOP crashes PC

[larmannjan]

When I play PR COOP online my computer crashes completely. The audio stutters. I have to shut it down by holding the power button. This is really annoying. Its never when loading a map. Its just randomly in game when playing. There is no warning, frame drop, anything, it is just random. this is really frustrating. I do not know what tp do. this has only happened when playing online.

the error-log says
also it recorded the same 2 messages (as a group) every 2 minutes.

the target of the icon is
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +szx 1366 +szy 768

also these errors are recorded when i play single-player but it never crashed once

"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +restart +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +szx 800 +szy 600

Try this once. This is a test to see if it's the 1366x768 resolution, )

My thoughts are we need to free up RAM and get BF@ and PR to use more RAM.

1. Start PR, go to Menu, Audio options, and lower your Audio quality. This is just a test, you can bum pit back up later.

2. Download, install and configure GameBooster3 from IOBit.com Game Booster 3 Free Download, Speed Up PC for Top Gaming Performance
Always run GameBooster before starting PR.

3. Apply the Win7 X64 fix in this Guide in our Tech Forum: [32Bit XP/Vista/7] Fix memory errors / Allow applications to use > 2GB RAM
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr ... b-ram.html

After doing all three, you will lower the amount of RAM PR needs, free up as much RAM as possible from background processes when running PR, and allow BF2.exe and PR.exe to use more than 2GB of RAM.
IF this works, go ahead and put your Audio settings back to whatever you prefer.

Moving to support and bumping.
