Server Specific CTDs
Posted: 2010-08-13 23:52
Hey I have an issue with crashing to desktop(standard way with no error messages) but the issue only occurs on specific servers (2 to be precise).
I can play for 3+hours on most servers (e.g. UKWF, TG, hardcore etc.) however if i join the nwa or the merk servers I CTD after about 2mins of gameplay, sometimes earlier sometimes later but I always crash regardless of map or what is happening in game.
I have followed pretty much all the CTD troubleshooting guides.
as a quick list I have:
-cleared cache manually,
-used bf2cleaner
-changed resolution down
-changed pretty much every graphic and audio setting to minimum (even turned some up in different attempts)
- PB manual and auto updates and pvsvc.exe
Recently I have re-formatted my PC and so have a completely fresh install of everything and the problem persists.
This has lead me to believe the issue is not caused by settings either on my pc or in-game
So my main question is could these CTD's be caused by a connection problem to certain IP's? and if so does anyone know anything I can do about it?
Its clearly not a server side issue as these servers are popular, I have asked merk admins but they were unsure of any reason for this to be happening
Thanks in advance for any help,
System:
2gb ram
nvidea 8600gts
2.4 dual intel
p.s. maybe they're running different addons that could be causing the incompatability? I am unaware of server side BF2 so someones help on this would be useful on this.
