Crash To Desktop Loading issue

DarthDisco · Post by **DarthDisco** » 2007-07-30 19:19

Salute Dev's,

I have been encountering sporatic CTD's in 0.6. They seem to happen almost exclusively during or just after the loading of a new map. In my last play session I crashed first just as the map completed loading and just as the "JOIN" button should have appeared.

After re-joining, and playing the end of that map, I crashed again after the loading of the next map, this time after joining and immediately after my initial spawn.

Are there any diagnostics or specifications I should provide to aide in problem diagnosis? Basic computer specs follow.

Intel Core 2 Duo E-6300
2 GB Corsair XMS-2 Memmory @ 800 mhz
Seagate Barracuda 250 GB HD
ATi Radeon X1950 Pro 256 MB
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS

Thanks,

DD

Did you uninstall earlier versions of PR before installing 0.6? And have you tried reinstalling BF2 and PR from scratch?

Nope. This is by far the most bugfree release. The bug you have encountered is known as Vista. BF2 and Vista do NOT mix very well. I'm quite scared actually as my new rig comes preinstalled with Vista.... So in September I will have the same bug as you.

Actually BF2 and Vista work quite well, it only crashes with PR. However there is at least one Developer who would rather blame it on Vista, instead of trying to help people fix their problems with the mod. But that thread is closed, so I won't dwell on it.

This thread was started by someone who meets the minimum requirements, including operating system, but is still encountering problems, so lets get back on topic

Make another thread if you want to focus on Vista-related issues

Keep making yourself look like an ignorant. You did it quite well in the last thread. Now if you're "not going to dwell on it" then dont post.

@DarthDisco: Regarding the problem, a patch will come out in the near future. We're trying to address as many problems as possible, so please bear with us, since we do this when we have some free time, if any.
