Can confirm, loads of people I play with were experiencing CTDs all the time today. Hopefully this can get fixed.

HOW TO STOP CTDS (v1.4.0.0):

GO to Documents > Project Reality > Profiles > 0001 (the profile you want to fix)
Right click on "Video.con" and click on Properties > Select "READ-ONLY" > Click APPLY > Click OK
Open your Launcher and have fun!

or wait for next patch :)


PS: Deselect "READ-ONLY" when next patch is out!

Hell I was just changing some settings and PR crashed. This update is bringing frequent CTDs to a whole new level.

Just a note: I was able to play fine when I created a local deployment server but as soon as I join an online deployment server I experience this issue.

Setting video.con to read only seemed to have solved the problem for me.

@Danesh_italiano, thanks, it worked.

How did you find out this solution? Could you explain technical part?

For some reason, PR (BF2 thing probably) change the TerrainQuality on the Video.con during middlegame. PR dont allow you to change that settings and resulting to close your game. So, when you select to ready only, the file cant be modified and your game will not close by TerrainQuality problem.
