Hello,
I'M SO FUCKING TIRED OF THESE FUCKING CRASHES.
I either get crash before join, after join, or when I spawn after rounds end.
Its so fucking annoying, moreover you can get "The connection to the server has been lost" after join.
I usually play on server that has one map rotation, and if you dont get plane at the start of the round - you can forget it...So frustrating when you about to spawn and run to the plane - boom, A FUCKING CRASH.
I there any way to less the amount of crashes? I broke 2 keyboards and many things around me ONLY because of crashes.
P.S. Win XP sp3, latest drivers for everything.

SP3? That's still beta if I recall. That could be the source of your problems.

Its your network, most likely. Are you on wireless or direct to your modem?

I would suggest that you revert pack to Service Pack 2, as that's what BF2 requires, and BF2 can be very stubborn about PC requirements. Other then that, connection losses are probably your Internet. Don't seed torrents, or use/hog up bandwidth on your PC. If multiple people connect, that could be a problem.

What kind of Service do you have? Upgrading your plan to a faster speed could help, or getting a different router could help as well.

Hmm... OK, 1GB ram's not ideal, and it could be the problem.

However, check your PSU voltages - ideally with a multimeter - if ANY LINE is more than 3% out, consider getting a new one - if ANY LINE is more than 5% out, definitely get a new one - if it's a cheap no-name make, consider a better one.

I used to run BF2 on 1GB (I assume we are talking bf2 here, yes?) and had the same problems you're having, and I thought it was lack of RAM - because a friend with an almost identical machine (he had more RAM) had no problems.

So, I upgrade my RAM to 2GB, and yeah, it helped some, but it just made the problems less frequent.

Then I upgraded from my £20 PSU to a £90 PSU and all the issues just went away.

So, in short, more ram might help to some degree - if you're sure you PSU is a-ok, go with more RAM - if it's a cheap-o PSU - suspect that.

See here - BUT read my reply about tolerance %'s - for a good guide to the best way to check your PSU.

Ok thanks for advice, I'm getting new computer soon.
P.S. Bf2 started to have weird "there was error with reading from the server" DC, which ejects me to login screen(which means "server" is EA server) during the game even.
