Can't load any map (1.2) On-, offline no difference.

Post by zeep »

Just throwing this out there to see if there are more people having this happen.

I can't join any game, not local either. It loads the map to around 50% and then PR quits, frees resources and i'm back on the desktop.

Is there any log file i can check for errors?
Spoiler for system info:

I had this problem right after I updated to 1.2 but mine had something to do with BF2Memory Error sanity check(never had that problem until I updated). I re-installed and it seems to fix it self. I can load into game now, play that round but when the server changing maps I CTD and when I try to ESC while in-game it also crashes... but maybe thats just my luck.

PRLauncher->Options->Video tab->UNTICK the Fullscreen tickbox.->Click Apply.

When in windowed mode when PR crashes it will create a popup window with the exact error message.

Screencap or write down the message and post it here.

Done. I will post a screencap.

Strange that it is accessing the C: drive, there is no game installed there. Neither is there a Dice folder on C:

Zeep, you have a corrupt vanilla BF2 file,

R-Dev AncientMan hosts this file on his server, cause it gets corrupted so often.
Download here.
http://files.ancientdev.com/prbf2/error ... endDX9.dll

Save it in your BF2 directory where BF2.exe and PRBF2.exe are located.

Replace your existing copy of the file.

Thanks for the help. I replaced the file, but i still crash to desktop.
It shows the exact same error if i run in window mode.

All this started last night when my first join in a server gave me a BSOD (portcls.sys) just as i was choosing a squad. Also just a few days ago i played both BF2 vanilla and PR without problems. It all worked right up to that BSOD. I guess the BSOD corrupted more files then?

zeep, check your .Net framework
.NET Framework: Unknown
That is not good.

Try to update through Windows update, or just download the newest .Net framework 4.5.1 here:
Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 (Offline Installer) for Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 SP2 Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2012 from Official Microsoft Download Center

------------

It's possible the BSOD corrupted BF2 files or dependencies like .NET Framework.

If you install the update .Net and it still crashes, you might need to reinstall BF2 :\

Nice find!
We're getting there. I let windows update to the latest .Net framework but sadly it didn't help. Then i had Steam verify the BF2 integrity and it fixed a lot of files. Now BF2 works again! Though PR still crashes. I will reinstall PR, hopefully that will do the trick.


*edit* For completion sake.
Reinstall of PR eventually fixed it. The initial BSOD corrupted both BF2 and PR files.
