BF2:SF going back to desktop (not CTD)

[TriedandTested]

First off i'm using an edited command line for the BF2 shortcut to run at 1360x768.
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1 +szx 1360 +szy 768

This is correct...?

When i load it up everything is fine. However, when i decide to join a game it immediatly drops back to the desktop, the BF2 logo reappears, and then the game loads back up dropping the resolution to what i can only guess is 1024x768..and it also seems to have lost the detail levels which i've set.

Any suggestions? Using the latest cat drivers.

I have the same issue with BF2:SF, whereby it would drop back to desktop while that percentage thingy is going up (geometry...textures...sound etc). I found that by turning down the details it was fine, I set it to 1024x768 with everything on medium (i.e. the equivalent of 'medium' settings, but with resolution raised, and textures lowered).

My guess is that the game/my windows setup didn't like me running out of physical memory, I only have 1gig RAM and hence textures shouldn't be any higher than medium.

I'll try it, thanks mate.
