Hey guys,

I'm having problems when trying to load a map. SP or MP.
BF2 is fine until it reaches 'Geometries' (I think 47%...it used to crash at 62% until I updated my graphics drivers to the newest version)

I've tried many things, still a no go. (New sound & video drivers, turned off ZA & background tasks, reinstalled, windows memory diagnostic, etc.)
I know my hardware will run the game, It ran fine on my brother's identical PC.
There is a thread where someone has a similar problem: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=44067


I read something about turning off Antivirus while downloading & installing the patch, I guess I will try that...
Does anyone have any ideas/solutions?

Thanks in advance,




system specs:
Core 2 Duo E6300
2GB OCZ "special ops edition" DDR2 667
GIGABYTE 7900GT (256MB)
ASUS P5L-MX

DX 9.0c
Forceware 93.71
XP home SP2

Update...

After reinstalling, I ran bf2 "unpatched" successfully. The problem is the same now though. After installing the full 1.41 patch It's back to the "CTD"



Is there something special that needs to be done with downloaded patches?

Okay, EA helped me out a little...
Since I was running in fullscreen I could not see the error message.

Here's what it says: https://home.san.rr.com/dfzone/error.PNG

Anyone seen this before?

Okay, fixed! Thanks guys :-)~
I guess its just cause I have leet troubleshooting skillz.

The Objects_client.zip file in my \mods\bf2\ folder was not 'patching' I noticed that it was about 150MB smaller than my brother's copy. (I used the same patch file too... on a USB flash drive)

I guess this borders on piracy if you don't own both computers... but...
I copied "Objects_client.zip" from the working install to my broken install.

Voila! Problem solved.
