You have loaded other 4km sized maps? Iron Eagle, Shijia valley?

tried loading other 4km size map, getting CTD

Can you load with ALL your settings set to low?

How much RAM do you have?

Is this in Local or online?

Are you using only the vbf2 graphics options or using nvidia control panel ones too?

I tried with all my settings to low still getting CTD

I have 4GB of ddr3

Its online never tried local or offline, mostly i only play insurgency and all of insurgency maps loads ok but not the AAS ones

I dont know whats vbf2, but using the nvidia control panel

I'm not sure using PR.exe to control those settings is a good idea tbh, perhaps try setting that for bf2.exe and turning off the nvidia settings for pr.exe

i tried it, but still getting CTD on both low and high video settings

Searching on Google, it looks like this is a problem with BF2 itself.

Try:
- Running PR in administrative mode in case your security settings are stopping PR from accessing BF2 files
- Start up BF2 vanilla and see if it CTDs on start-up. If so, re-install BF2, the 1.5 patch, and then PR again
- Don't use nvidia to change your video settings and see if that helps

Don't you have to install the 1.41 patch too?

only other thing I can think of is trying this I guess Game Booster 3.0 Free Download, Speed Up PC for Top Gaming Performance

Are you using Win 7 64bit?

i always run pr and bf2 in admin mode, its not the first time i have encounter CTD, i have atleast re-installed BF2 and everything 4 times but some how still getting CTD even tried with windows 7 64 bit

When i load bigger maps every once in a while it will either CTD or pull up something saying like not enough bf2 memory or something.
only sometimes. it works usually. especially with the new update.

Try this guide to fixing the memory problem. It works.
