I have tried every fix and solution I can google up over the last week. The mod crashes as soon as I try and load a singleplayer map/game. It starts fine, runs the video intros and background videos fine, when I select singleplayer and then select a map it crashes to desktop immediately.
Tried installing with Desura, same thing. Read that it was probably a Desura issue and to download and install the mod via the regular 2 part installer. So did that, same EXACT problem. The game is fully patched and current, and legal. Tried with Admin rights, win XP sp2 compatibility, disabled desktop composition, and so on and so forth. No matter what settings, it does it the same way every time.
And yes my system will run BF2 maxed easily, as well as most mods I have tried. My only guess at this point would be a screen resolution issue, perhaps widescreen related. I am in the process of trying various resolutions both 4:3 and 16:9. I will post anything I find out.
*EDIT*
Tried 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 720, as well as my native 1600 x 900, all resolutions and settings from low to high and all points in between give the same CTD at the same point mentioned previously in this post. Well I'm giving up for now. Good luck guys.
