The past week I've been having issues with BF2. Every time I tried joining a server or going to the Audio tab in options, the game would instantly crash to desktop. I updated all my drivers, I updated PunkBuster, I cleared my cache, I tried everything. I assumed it was possibly Vista's fault, so I try playing BF2 on XP and sure enough it works fine.

Then today, while on XP, I decide to play some BF2. Start up the game, and whaddayaknow, the fucking goddamn piece of shit is crashing again. So that means it can't be Vista, especially since BF2 is crashing at the exact same points.

Could it be possible that some of the programs I installed are interfering with BF2? I did have Nero 8 and Tunebite 5 installed on Vista when things weren't working, and I installed both of those last night on my XP boot, which coincides with me suddenly not being able to play Battlefield 2.

uninstall one program at a time then try running bf2 see if it works if its the problem the application side, also check ur video card driver.

Ok, a little Googling came up with this. Case closed, but I'll keep this posted in case anyone else is having the same problem.

Apparently the audio drivers with Tunebite interfere with BF2, but only v5 of Tunebite (which is why I didn't have this problem with v4 either).

So it's time to uninstall and revert back to the older version... (oh and I can start using Vista again, which I actually like )

YAYYYYYY! Ain't life grand? I manage to play a nice, long, good round earlier today no problem. Then I join a server just now and it crashes after 5 minutes or so. D'oh Oh well, it's bf2, it's expected, right? I start up the game again, join the server again... and 5 minutes later the game crashes... again...


Shit.
