Hey.

I was tired of a post here and post there which became forgotten after a few days. Now I created a new thread at the EA UK with a petition for making bf2.exe to be able to use more than 2GB of RAM.

I know about the unoffical bf2.exe that we can download, but that may give you PB problems (MD5 and so on). If DICE can do a official fix for it, PB will not be a problem.

VOTE!!!
Allow BF2.exe to use more than 2GB of RAM! - Electronic Arts UK Community

Whats the point in this??? PR doesn't even use 1.5gig of RAM any way....Look in your task manager......

it dose if you run it in high gfx and load 2 or 3 maps in a row without a restart.

Nice XP/Vista rant :-\

Either way, I hope they fix it, so we don't have to do things ourselves again..

i use the fix and rarely get problems with PB

I use the fix and never get problems with PB. I am starting to think my PC has destroyed PB and let a fake take over or something.

Maybe its one of the vista stability fixes in the patch already or did I miss something?

#1 sounds likely

Ah nice! Lets see if I get the same problem Will I have to reinstall if the fix does 'causes me loads of pb kicks?

Just back up the old exe.

Are we talking about the C++ fix mentioned?

I get random CTDs after loading 2 or 3 maps, it's dead annoying!

I have 3 GB RAM, would be nice to use all of it!

Stu.

not only for EU, but for US too?

I shall sign it if I can see the need when I get my new PC up and running.

Anyway, vBF2 noobs have turned that thread into a Vista vs XP thread and DICE are completely avoiding the main topic.

Well guys, happy news. For 1.50 beta 2 (released today), bf2.exe is allowed to use more than 2GB of RAM.

"Allow BF2.exe to use more than 2Gb RAM on machines that support it - Fixed"


*EDIT*
Remember to test this with 1.50 B2 to see if it really works guys. TEST IT! Then you dont need the unofficial bf2.exe anymore..

Nice one Grasli, hopefully it will get a good performance increase without the need for the custom .exe.
