Anyideas ? I tried some command line options, but to no avail. completely stumped

Are you setting up the resolution and refresh rate correctly?

 

[xtknight]

Need more details. What has changed since it did not crash? Model of monitor? Drivers? Resolution? Settings? Refresh rate? At what exact point does it crash?

Delete the video.con files in your profiles folder found under My Documents. That should fix it.

Or just do a fresh install, update, then add command to shortcut, then play.

I had BF2 issues i couldn't figure out but then i just end up formating my whole computer. I reinstalled it and it worked perfectly...

Or it could just be the result of the 1.3 patch. CTDs are much more common since it came out.

trying to get it to work at 1920x1200 @ 60HZ.

so far I was able to getit to work at 1600x1200 60Hz, but want to getit to work in Native resolution.

Try forcing the shortcut to display the resolution.

Example:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +szx 1920 +szy 1200

Something like that.

update directx
update videocard drivers
update bios
update doundcard drivers
update BF2,

if nothing works

reinstall bf2

delete the .con files and set the res in command line.
If its still not loading uninstall BF2 and and only do a full patch don't do the incremental patches.

 

[kevman]

thanks guys, I'll give this a shot tonight and report back.

 

[kevman]

anyone know how to uninstall Bf2 and keep your controller settigns etc ?

 

[imported_BadKarma]

Then you want to make a copy of the "Controls.con" file.
You can find it in "C:\My Documents\BattleField 2\Profiles\0001".

maybe 1920x1200 with BF2 is too stressful for your video card?
