What makes these games crash so often? I don't understand what is so complicated with fixing this.

i take it u have experienced this to??

keyword: beta


but then again it's EA/Dice...


...I stand corrected

Check the EA beta private forum.  It's happening to a LOT of people.  Some have found firewalls to be the cause though many others are still having CTDs with no firewall running.  I've had no crashes at all but but I have been getting some obscene rubberbanding lag even with a ping below 40.  Earlier today, I could not even get in a tank because of it.  One sec i'm right against it, the next i'm six feet away.  It literally took me 3 minutes to get into the tank because of this.  Also about every 5-10 sec, i'd see the Connection to Server Lost message flash for about 1 second or so.  Completely frustrating.  My experience so far is that this beta version is almost unplayable.

You are just announcing your ignorance. Up until now the game was only tested by developers on their office PC. Most likely all same or similar builds. So they have had a week to fix it since tuning beta was released. They have yet to give us a patch or any updates. So it is still fresh out of alpha. Why don't you let them fix a problem before you bitch about it. 

You obviously have no alpha or beta experience and, don't know what you are even talking about. Yes there are major bugs. That is why we are here. Do a little research, reading, watching, or listening to what Dice say half the time. The reason we are even in beta is so things like this can be addressed and fixed before launch. Because clan members and lone wolfs can give more constructional feedback from a perspective that the developers might not think about.

I CTD at the end of every round. If I can even finish the round. I have had repeatedly been shafted and shorted by bugs and glitches in this and every other beta. It is your job to report them in detail. So instead of bitching why don't you run Dxdiag, copy the info and paste it with a serious bug report.

Sorry if I am sounding like a jerk but, DAMN. Everyone and their mom is crying like they just went and bought the game and are having these issues. Out of the 6 years I have been beta testing I have never seen so many people whine and complain about bugs in a beta release. A beta without even being updated yet no less.

Ive had the beta since yesterday and it crashed on me 3 times already.

I've had it for 15 hours, and it's crashed 17 times.

Save yourself some beta stress and go download the Point of Existence mod that was just released last night.

It's top notch work.  Most BF2 fun I've had in a long time.  Easily as good as vanilla BF2 if not better.  All new weapons, player skins, vehicles, maps, voices.  Selectable tank rounds (Sabot/HEAP), new weapon balancing, new kits etc.  3 new gameplay modes (Objective, FrontLine and Nuke).

The beta has the red/blue bug, the missile through vehicles bug, and it crashes like mad.  These are all fixes that so far have not even been addressed for BF2.  If they haven't fixed these in BF2, and they are now present in thier new game based on the same engine, what makes you think they will have fixed them 6 weeks from now for the 2142 final? 

I think we should all be able to see the writing on the wall by now.  I have no doubt that the beta will have been cleaned up nicely by release but the above issues are likely to plague 2142 just as they have plagued BF2.  I'm willing to be wrong here but I doubt it.

Thats because its THE BETA. I noticed few problems on BF2 v1.0, therefore I expect few troubles with BF2142 v1.0.

How about rather than bitching do something useful and report the bugs or give me the beta so i can help them make the game better. Damn you are all such a bunch of moaning ass bandits....

These types of bugs have been reported ever since BF2 came out.  The frustration is that they have NOT been fixed in the current game.  People are mad because they HAVE given constructive feedback in the past and the problems have STILL NOT BEEN FIXED.

Who here really thinks that 2142 wont have the red/blue bug or TOWs (or equil) going thru targets?  Will they actually get this fixed in a month?

And NO... I don't have a beta code nor did I want one.  I would rather them give up on this project and fix the game they started with BF2.

Ahem, before you start whining about it, you wouldn't know if we were reporting bugs or not, you see, you don't have access to the Beta Forum.

Oh and YES, I am reporting what I can in the 5 minutes of gameplay I get in between crashes.
