Battlefield 2 crash when joining online game

Craig321 · 8 Jan 2007 at 22:12

Hi,

When I double click or click join game to go into an online game Battlefield crashes to desktop.

I have tried changing the graphics, I have tried disabling EAX and VoIP like EA said and none have worked.

Single player works perfectly.

Any ideas why please? I have been playing with no problems for 3 days & now all of a sudden it crashes to desktp when I click join on an online game.

Thanks,
Craig.

Try this:

Delete the contents of ..\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache, you should have a folder named {D7B71EE2-160A-11CF-186A-4820A1C2CB35}_2965_3 or similar.

This will allow BF2 to re-optimise shaders etc, might be worth a try...

Scort.

Didn't work

Doesn't seem to be a problem with the actual graphics as it crashes to desktop even before it starts loading.

Ahhhh, fixed it.

I checked on the TotalBF2 forums and there were quite a lot of fixes for crash to desktop... the one that matched my problem was the CD key one.

I re-entered my CD-key using the code changer exe found in the BF2 install folder & then encrypted it using the program provided in the FAQ (it's in this thread: http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85898)

Thanks,
Craig.
