Help!!!

[LordStefX]

Ok i know this isn't Rebellion related, but I just spent 8 and 1/2 hours trying to patch bf2 to v 1.41, and it worked, but now my game crashes to desktop on map loading (~60% - Geometries). My specs are a AMD64 3800-series processor, 1 Gig DC ram, Abit k8n Motherboard, 160 gig sata HDD and ATI X1600 Pro 256mb Ice-Q graphics card.

plz help me!!! (I love bf2, aside from the Sh!tty ea techsupport which has got me nowhere sofar)

Latest video card drivers? Game patches? Etc

[LordStefX]

the game is v1.41, patched with the "patch from cd" technique, all videodrivers are latest models except maybe for ATi Catalyst Control Center

The game worked perfectly until june, when I had a HDD crash, had to reformat the disk. BF2 works ok on stock installation, but the patched version just ctd's around ~59-60% (loading geometries) I tried lowering geometry level but still doesnt work... If there is any other info needed which I forgot to mention, plz say so

Have you tried any other patching techniques? Maybe try redownloading the patch.

I know that kind of problem very well. The only way to fix it is to deinstall the whole game, than use the CrapCleaner to remove any registry-entry which is related to EA and Battlefield 2. But be carefull that you don´t erase anything else! After that download and install the newest version of Directx and also an actuall graphic-driver. Than you can reinstall and patch the whole game. Use the full-patch to version 1.41 if possible.

ok ty guys ill try it and let u know how it works out!!! (not now though, chemistry test tomorrow) In any case though, I was wondering if it would be possible to install the game on a friends pc and then patch it there, copy the files to DVD and paste over my current files? just as a last resort, btw, last nights family guy was awesome!!! (Why are they called Tie Fighters, han? - I dunno - Asian guy in the tie )

[LordStefX]

um i did all that, now the patch crashes at objects_client.zip 30%, alternating patch failed message and simple vanishing trick.

I'm really startint to hate EA games now but if u guys know a bypass or something plz lemme know (im trying to patch from a dvd right now,fingers crossed)

Try to patch again and leave your machine alone while patching or otherwise it may crash again. If that won´t help download that patch from another mirror. Oh, yes, I know this game can drive you really cracy. Just be prepared for other errors which may occure when you´ve done with the whole installation.

k its fixed and working fine

ty guys i rly appreciate this

[Mad78]

Have fun. I'll have to reinstall BF2 one of these days and then we can have a game.

I don´t play it online anymore, because it´s full of bugusers, cheaters and kids who just want to score and never heard anything about teamplay. If you´re not in a clan you´re nearly lost. I´ve installed the single-player mod now, so I can enjoy at least a bit my favorite maps, but it´s just not the same as it was in the beginning.

[Mad78]

I´ve installed the single-player mod now

What's that?

[Lord_La_forge]

BF2 can be pretty brainless action online. If you want to play a good fps game in single player, you should try Sniper Elite. Or Rainbow Six Vegas is also very nice offline.

[Eagle]

What's that?

It´s this one. You can play all maps of every size in the singleplayer-mode with that. There are also 14 other singleplayer-mods available as download.

 

But if I want to have nice tactic action with a nice community I still prefer the good old BF1942.

 

Talking about bf1942 and bf2: This Mod could be really nice. Also the "Operation Peacekeeper"-Mod has been released on sunday.
