From How To Get The Bf2 Editor Working With Vista - Official BF Editor Forums

Vista.Some hate it,some love it.I find it's okay but some things don't run so well.The BF2 Editor is one of those things.I have found a solution to the problems I encountered.They are probably not the best solutions,but it's all there is at the moment.

Step.1-Download and install
First download the Bf2 Edtior.You should now have an icon on your desktop.



Right click it and go to "properties"
Then go to "compatibility" and select "Run in compatibility mode for Windows XP(Service Pack 2)" and "Run as admin"



Run the install.


Step.2-Running the Editor
You should now have a new icon on your desktop.Right click it and go to "properties"
Then go to "compatibility" and select "Run in compatibility mode for Windows XP(Service Pack 2)" and "Run as admin"



Now start the Editor.

Step.3-Creating a level
Go to the Terrain Editor.Select new(or the white page).Fill out the info and click okay.



After a while the Editor will throw up an error.It will then close.


Start the editor again.Go to the terrain editor and select "load map."



Select the map you tryed to create earlier.



After a bit your map should be loaded!




*NOTE*
I only discovered this 15 minutes ago.All I've done so far is make a bump in the terrain and then saved.If you have any other problems,please,post them here!

its still going to crash 2x as much, smartest thing to do is make a new partiton / buy a new hard drive / format your PC and install XP.

Finally, I can at least try and use it now...

BTW, what is that top bar you use for Vista? I like it.

Not all of us have a copy of Windows XP handy.:\

I haven't had any other crashes *yet*.If I encounter more I'll try and solve them and update this thread.

I'm using ObjectDock
and I got most of my icons from PNG Factory.
