Crash on Map load

[Nowak18827]

OK So i crash to desktop around 30% everytime on multiplayer servers..on singleplayer i ethier crash as soon as i select start(load map)..or my comp freezes at like 50%....and yes im not new to a comp so dont tell me to make sure i installed in the correct order and yes i have bf21.5 patch....This mod is really glitchy is an active dev team? do they not pub beta this shit before puting up the download?

[Nowak18827]

Btw im just ranting at the end there... dont mind me iv had a tough day and been waiting for this download for 3 hours...thanks in advance

OK i got singleplayer to work now...i realized that it crashed when loading right after geometries turned down my settings and it worked....i played with a bit and can run it with texture,terrain,and geometries on high but everything els is turned down...i think shadows on high is what crashed me...

but now i have a new problem now when i try to join a multiplayer server it instantly crashed to desktop....anybody got any idea ..there are so many posts in the tech forums its impossible to find my prob in this sea of posts so sry if there is already a fix on here for this just point me in the right direction

No one?

I guess the next step of the procedure here would be to delete the cache folder under My_Documents/Forgottenhp 2/mods/bf2/.

Sorry that you are having the troubles, but FH2 is graphically pushing the limits of the BF2 Engine and this can cause problems for people with PCs at the lower end of the spectrum like yours.

I doubt it's the cause of your trouble, but it wouldn't hurt to update your DirectX (I think the latest version is 'June 2010').

Your 6200 is only a low-end card, but it seems there's a small chance you might be able to squeeze some extra grunt out of it:

...However, at introduction, production silicon was not yet ready. Nvidia fulfilled 6200 orders by shipping binned/rejected 6600 series cores (NV43V). The rejects were factory modified to disable four-pixel pipelines, thereby converting the native 6600 product into a 6200 product. Some users were able to "unlock" early 6200 boards through a software utility (effectively converting the 6200 back into a 6600 with the complete set of eight pixel pipelines total) if they owned boards with an NV43 A2 or earlier revision of the core...

You can find out which core (and it's revision) your video card's got with GPU-Z.

I used to have a 6600, I had everything set to medium and it had no trouble running FH2.

just wish i could fix this

Running in windowed mode gave you no error as you wrote above... hmmm could it be a firewall problem?
Oh and did you try deleting the cache?

[Nowak18827]

iv tried turning firewall off to no avail ..
and yea i only got that error message one time no error message any other time i have been working on this problem for 4 days now i think for the first time the internet is runing out of sorces of information too fix a problem LOL DAMN

Deleting cache??? if you mean in disk cleanup and web browser yes

[Nowak18827]

I think there is a currupt file in my windows registry ....i donno for sure but im almost 90% certain thats were the problem lies...iv read this prob on everything from many different games,browsers,printers and others application/programs

the worst part is i cant find a solution because every were i look try's to peddle me for money on bogus programs like registrybooster, fixcleaner, and wisefixer  the people who make these programs should be shot

[cannonfodder]

You said BF2 works, so you can join (ranked) servers, no problems?


If not, it could be a CD-key problem. A quick way to check is to chuck your CD in the drive and see if it starts the installer.


Otherwise, go to your Start menu and run regedit, then go into:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2\ergc


This is where your CD-key info lives, if it's not there or there's a problem with it, it'll CTD when you try to play online, but offline works fine.



EDIT: Search this section of the forum for regedit...

BTW, are you a necromancer?
