Starting problem
« on: 06-06-2011, 14:06:35 »
Hi folks, I have a problem with FH2. Well, I have downloaded both parts, installed them and when I try to launch FH2, system tells me that it crashed. I have BF2 1.5, I tried downloading both parts from different servers and it repeats all the time. I rebooted the system, and nothing changed. Adding to that, I don't have the FH2 in the Installed Programs list, despite installing it. I have Windows XP, and FH1 was running relatively well (except the Zielona Gora map, which crashed everytime I wanted to play it). Could you help me?

Hi and welcome, at what point does the program crash? And what version of BF2 do you own? (DVD, Downloader, or Steam?)
Iirc FH2 won't put an entry into your registry since the installer basically just unpacks the files to the correct folders.

Hi, program crashes at the time when I double-click the icon, then screen goes black, *ping* (sound), and error. My BF 2 is from DVD and it didn't make any problems since now.
Yeah, but FH1 IS in the registry, and FH2 isn't.

try starting fh2 in windowed mode (add "+fullscreen 0"  to the launch command in the fh2.exe shortcut

it then should deliver an error message that you can post here

Okay, but this is in Polish and I think you could not understand it. This is only that FH2 cracked and window asks me if I will send the problem to FH2 team (I did it twice). Nothing more.

I have had this same problem before. Always run as Admin before you do anything (right click on program, run as administrator). I beat this by reinstalling fh2, it only happens to me because i have other mods which mess around with shaders and other bf2 things. Meaning i have to reinstall battlefield and FH. Do you have any other mods installed or have you played with any BF files?

This. I have had this problem in the past and a complete Battlefield and FH2 reinstall fixed it. I think PR did it to me last time.

I don't have any other BF2 mods, but I'll try to reinstall it. I'll tell you what happened.

Sounds good, and yes pascucci, PR did this to me as well. Best thing is to reinstall everything. I recommend having all BF2 and FH2 Zip files on a disk in case you ever need to reinstall!

Ok, it's me again.
I reinstalled BF2 and FH2, and everything was OK. The game started, but when I was trying to load a map, it crashed and returned me to the desktop. It happens every time I want to start a map. What should I do?

Be sure that you installed all patches for BF2.
First 1.41 then 1.5 and later the hotfix if you need it for alt-tabbing.
Other than that run FH2 in windowed mode by adding "+fullscreen 0" to your desktop short cut properties. This will enable you to see the error window that pops up just before BF2 closes.

I have all patches installed.
And there is no error message. Game just closes and nothing more happens.

Windows XP SP3, AMD Athlon II X2 250, Nvidia Geforce GT 220, or you need a logfile maybe?

So it's crashing when you try to load a map, when exactly is it crashing?

Does it crash as soon as you click on it?

Or does it crash after it starts loading? If so, what percentage does it crash at?
