When you enter the server map I normally reads. However, a few maps when załadowało over 80% off my game.

I have got :
Battlefield 2 Deluxe Edition

I am using the highest graphic without textures.
Resolution: 1440x990


I reinstalled game 3 times and download new patches and PR and it doesn't work at all.

What I think you are getting is you are crashing during map load, right?

That can happen, on my experience, due to 2 different situations: your PunkBuster is not updated or your graphics are too high. Try setting everything on medium and AA at 2x tops, see if that works. If it does, try raising and lowering graphics settings until you get confortable without crashing.

For the PunkBuster update (which I suggest you try out first), download the program at this website:

EvenBalance's PunkBuster


Also, not sure if completely related, but several users have reported "running out of (RAM) memory" when loading a few of the new maps. Try this tool, which, theoretically, should fix the problem.

'[R-DEV wrote:AfterDune;1286677']Tonight I installed a free RamBooster, a little program that cleans up and optimizes memory.

So, PR was running with its regular 1.3+ GB of memory usage. I start up the tool, let it optimize my memory every 5 minutes or so and when I checked the BF2 process in my task manager...............:



Maaaaaaan!




I've been playing for like 45 minutes now and memory is between 100MB and 250MB....


Try it out, see what it does for you?

I've done it before writing, and the problem still occurs.

Yeap i have the same problem on low graphics when I load the map i got crash when click to join . On high graphics I load 94% and crash to desktop . Today I formated my computer and install software and install BF2 : PR and ofcourse I have the same -.-

I have problem on :
- Iron Eagle
-Fools roads
-Beirut ...

I had the same problem with Lashkaar Valley, but a day or two later, somehow it solved. I really don't know, what happened. Anyway, now I have problem with Iron Eagle. I use low graphical options on ATI Radeon 9600 PRO, i've 1.4 GB RAM and up-to-date punkbuster. If anyone have any idea about the problem, please post it. Thanks in advance.

I'm having similar issues. I'm gonna try the above suggestions and see what happens.

One factor I want to know about:

-I'm using BF2 as bought from Steam, so steam has to open up before I load PR, in place of having a disk in the drive. Could that do anything?

I'll check back after I try the other stuff. Haven't played PR, but saw the new patch, and I can't wait to get back on! This is just being a nuisance.


EDIT:

So i downloaded the ram optimizer, made sure I had all the right patches, and pbsetup says I'm up to date. Mostly, I get a message saying PB kicked me for a disallowed driver. I haven't looked up the code yet. Gotta find that. I know that when I installed PB it said something about me not being an administrator, so it couldn't do something, but my PC says I'm an Admin, so I don't know how to fix that when the computer includes me as an Admin.

Now, I'm using a government issued PC (service academy), so there are some things locked down we can't control, and our network is crawling with active scanning programs to prevent viruses/etc (so I get kicked for high ping from time to time), but I can usually install whatever I want, because I'm (supposed to be) an Admin.

I'm gonna get that code, check it out, and continue to try, but now that's my main problem. I get into a game, but get kicked after a minute or so for the "disallowed driver."


EDIT 2:

Okay, solved my problem. I found this http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/333425.page forum and the problem was a conflict between Steam and PB. Steam likes to have its background social services running during games, but PB will kick you for it, so in settings you can disable the "overlay" (the name for it, but not the name in settings) and it worked.

I still lag a lot, but that's my damn connection.

I think the click-join-crash and the 94%-crash are unrelated. Some time ago, I had this click-join crash. I think I solved it by re-uptading BF2 (just uninstall everything and re-download the patches in the correct order - I understand you reformated your PC and stuff, but make sure you installed it in the correct order.)

The 94% crash seems to be memory-related. Try using a RAM-optimizer. Didn't work for me, but who knows


BTW, if you crash on click with low graphics and crash on 94% with high graphics... why not try medium graphics? (Joking!) BTW FYI I think the only graphics setting that influences on this is the graphics.

Yeah that's a known issue with PB. You can't use overlay on Mumble as well

Yes , I installed it in correct order . I will also try to download again patches , and PR , but I think it wouldn't work.

It doesn't work ;( .


I think it is the CODE problem

^ This was my issue, and it worked. Just re-downloading worked, for whatever reason. This should fix the click-join bug. Good luck!

Post back with results.

It is only in few maps in low graphic , not in all game

Let me tell my problems

1) In Beirut map, if i deploy "alternative" map, i can join the game and play it without problems. But if i deploy "standart" map, loading screen comes to %100 and then i get crash to destktop. I guess it is because of the new APC added to IDF.

2) I have the same CTD problem in Iron Eagle and Gazza Beach maps.

My system is:
Intel Core 2 2.00 GHz CPU
2 GB RAM
Ati X1950 Pro
Win 7 64 bit

Note: Also i have no problem in skirmish maps of these maps.

and m system is:
Intel Core 2 2.00 Ghz CPU
2GB RAM
ATI x1650 Series
Win XP 32 bit

I think we have the same problem mate .

In Beirut map, if I deploy alt. map, I can join the game and play it without problems. But if I deploy std. map, loading screen comes to %100 and then I get crash to desktop.
Same CTD problem in Gazza Beach maps.

Intel dualcore i3-350M ~ 2.26ghz
4GB ddr3 Ram
1GB ddr3 Ram Gforce 310M Graphics card
Win 7 64 bit

Note: Also I have no problem in skirmish maps of these maps.

Peace out dudes.

Exactly, same problem here.

Standard maps IRON EAGLE, Wanda Shan, Gaza Beach and Beirut.

What do they all got the same? IDF.. except wanda. Thing is, I can run Asad Khal with no problems.

Please, help us.

I have the same problem but mines crashes on Burning Sands, Iron Eagle and Silent Eagle. It's been crashing on Silent Eagle since the first update they released Silent Eagle.

Same problem on standard maps Iron Eagle, Wanda Shan, Gaza Beach and is still Beirut.
