I've made a custom BF2 map and it loads to 100%. When I try to join the game, it crashes. Any help?

tried windowed mode? debugger? Did you set up your init.con and gpo's correctly to PR standards? take a look at some other maps and check both the init.con file and the gpo and see if it's the same as yours. And make sure you have all surrounding terrain rendered and it might help placing some random overgrowth and undergrowth.

its a BF2 map, not PR

Yer, i wanna just make a BF2 map 1st then work on a PR Map. I'll take a look at all the things you mentioned. Thanks!

Also, try searching bfeditor.org
It's a great resource for all BF2 modding.

Whats this "Debug" thing which MineralWouter mentioned?

make a shortcut on your desktop for battlefield2/br_r.exe. for example mine:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2_r.exe" +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +restart 1 +szx 1024 +szy 768 +developer 1 +multi 1 +ignoreAsserts 1

but if it's only for bf2 it's probably like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2_r.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +restart 1 +szx 1024 +szy 768 +developer 1 +multi 1 +ignoreAsserts 1

if you get an error from vtuneapi.ddl when loading the debugger, then download this and put it in your battlefield2 folder.

it's pretty much a dev build which allows you to get crash logs and detailed error messages. So it's easier to find your specific bug with.

Ok, thanks!

Still no luck. I already had the vtuneapi anyway but still it does not give me the errors. What am I missing? Does map size and the # of objects effect the loading of a map?
