BF2 Makes me want to nut my computer

[ste_bla]

****ing had enough of this game I have changed nothing in my computer recently and suddenly now every time i connect or create a single player game it ****ing exits to windows

any ideas on what i can do?

tried reinstall
tried updating graphics

Try clearing the graphics cache (although I think this might have already been done when you reinstalled) - its in C:\Documents and Settings\BLABLA\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods and just delete the bf2 folder.

If that doesn't work, go into C:\Documents and Settings\BLABLA\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001 and delete video.con.

Do the same with the video.com file in C:\Documents and Settings\BLABLA\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\Default.

That should fix it, but if not I don't have a clue.

I started getting CTD's also but only in mid game, This started after a reformat & XP install etc. so something was different. All thru the various patch releases I never had CTD's

Its not the game itself causing this problem as if it was then everyone would get the same. Its something to do with your system & usually memory related .

I have seemingly fixed mine by by changing the Cas setting from 2 to 2.5 on my AMD rig, I read that on another forum & so far its worked. Depends what memory & settings you have & whether o/clocked.
Another game that is known for CTD's is Oblivion & thats not crashed since on my system either

Another little gem I read involves setting the BF2 videodefault allowAllrefreshrates 0 & change it to 1

Tried deleting the video files and temp files, i even changed the refresh settings on the desktop and game.. no luck

did some more googling and tried re registering the cd code in the registry and other bits and bobs..

now the cd is in two pieces in the bin, RIP

check your local settings temp folder
(C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Local Settings\Temp)
check the windows temp folder
things like this are OFTEN that.
