Sweet

Just woke up and I am going to give the install ago.

FreedomEclipse, have you tried adding Battlefield 2 to the punkbuster program and then updating it? I had the same problem as you with punkbuster kicking me because of my OS. It seemed to solve it.

The official page still says 1.41. I'll wait it out until it says 1.5.

Its not that im getting kicked out of game, its just that my games not starting up after click on it - PB & patches are all up todate

FreedomEclipse · Sep 2, 2009

Ive made a post about it on the official EA BF2 forum - but from what i can see, it is my understanding that official EA members have little or nothing to do with the site so im very doubtful that a solution will be found anytime soon. I just have to wait for 1.60 patch, who knows if they will release it - but there are so many people having issues with 1.50 they cant just turn around & say screw you guys after making an attempt at breathing some life into the game

Freedom: It really sound's as if a video/sound driver is causing it to bug out. There have been reports of having to set the game to minimal settings on some cards... You can try tweaking the config... Check out this link...

http://www.tweakguides.com/BF2_7.html

Tweak your launch option. Also try turning off the windows 7 firewall.. Ive had a TON of issues with it.

Also any AV programs that are running that might interfere.

Also make sure that Onboard sound is turned off or disabled in Device manager. Could be causing a conflict. I know i use to get the SAME error you had when i had a Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio and my Onboard enabled at the same time. It would conflict beyond all else.

So is the general consensus that this patch isn't broken but may require some troubleshooting?

the patch worked great for me. easy install and the game loaded right up afterward. im playing 1920x1080 and 8x AA with all settings maxed and it looks really nice. i have noticed that if i alt-tab out of the game for a second i cannot come back into the game as it essentially crashes.

Conflict0s · Sep 2, 2009

Everything is running great for me as well accept it does not like my dual screens. When I select a server, it will load it but as soon as I try and select my spawn point it will crash to desktop. So I have to unplug my DVI cable to disable my monitor because I don't know how to do it any other way. I think it is because when I get in game my screens kind of refresh themselves because I am going into a fullscreen program :/

Is there a way that my second screen could automatically disable it's self when I am gaming? or a way I could set up a hot key some how?

Mike - I cant thank you enough

I turned off my Kaspersky firewall for a sec just to test it out & the game came roaring to life :roll:

Im so stupid. I didnt think kaspersky was blocking it cuz it never gave me a notification or anything

Cool, and the last few posts at XS are all people with similar setups to mine and reporting success.

Worked 100% for me...no issues at all:

Win7 RC
x4 955 at 3.8Gig
4Gig ram
4890 at stock

All ive changed so far is: renamed the *.bik files so I get no videos playing when I start....straight to login screen.

Easy Rhino · Sep 2, 2009

does the mic test utility thing not work for anyone else?

Conflict0s · Sep 2, 2009

Nope, it has never worked for me. And IggSter could you explain how you did that please, I have done it once but it was a long time ago.

Rename the relevant files in your \Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Movies\ directory to something else (e.g. rename the Intro.bik to Intro.backup). The files to rename are: Dice.bik, EA.bik, Intro.bik, Legal.bik and Welcome.bik. This will mean the intro movies are all skipped as BF2 starts to load. If you find the movies playing in the background of the Login screen and Settings screens annoying, you can also rename the menu.bik and menu_loggedin.bik to something else as well.

try uninstalling your video drivers, rebooting and reinstalling them, reboot again and see what happens.

Stonesour767 · Sep 2, 2009

i'll give it a shot, thanks.

FreedomEclipse · Sep 2, 2009

JOystick controls are still borked.

SirJangly · Sep 2, 2009

I wish the game had some sort of friends list

Polarman · Sep 2, 2009

I wish they've put the patch separate from the add-ons.

FreedomEclipse · Sep 2, 2009

I wish my momma left me some of that cherry pie
