Everytime I exit BF2, it hangs my CPU up at the desktop for a good minute. Anyone else have this problem? Any idea what it is? I notice that it's only if I've actually been inside playing, I can fire the game up and exit without playing and its fine. But once I'm actually in a game, it lags everything out when I exit.
Yeah me too
me too but not for a minute but 20 sec or so my ingame music also keeps playing for at least 20 sec
yeah same here with the lag and the continued music
yeah exactly the same with me.. music and everything for about 20 seconds
SAME I THNK ITS CONTAGOUS MUSIC AND ALL but it pisses me off
FWIW I have my music turned off, but it still does it. I'd like to find out what's conflicting and how to fix it.
I remember having this on my old PC. It's either not enough free RAM or your video card.
I think its both
i've only 1024Mb ram.
geforce fx 5700 LE (overclocked too the MAX).
and running everything on Medium.
Is there anyone using such an old card?
p.s. i have a pentium 3,2 GHz.

It is the ram not being freed!
Install a ram tool like cacheman and you will see that the ram ist not instantly back and that might be the cause of your slowness.

I had this problem pretty bad, but then I upgraded my RAM to 1024 and now it still hangs, but only for like 5 seconds now instead of at least 45 seconds to a minute. So I'm sure it's processor speed/RAM
Well, I'm running a P4 3GHz machine with 1G RAM and a Radion X800XT video card, so in theory it should be plenty.
I have 5 computers all with this same problem.

You might also tweek your swap file a bit as well, mine used to do that until I doubled the swap-file and now I don't have that problem, just a sugestion
How does one do that?Galen1066 wrote:

I've got the same problem too, except my computer is about the bare minimum to run the game... Athalon 2200+, 512MB RAM, ATI 9600 Pro on a 4x AGP slot... everything is like 3 years old except for the graphics card. I expected problems like this, but it definitely hangs my computer up for a good 5 minutes sometimes, and i get a virtual memory error sometimes too. The game runs fine when i play though.
probably memory
if you check taskmaster after quitting the game there will be two jobs still running
bf2.exe with 300+ memory used (this is clearing down though)
and ~ie.005 as well , find that if you cancel these it frees up straight awayish

yeah, i had the same issue with ut2k4. just open tskmgr (Task Manager, not Master) and check your processes. Either end BF2.exe or ~e.005, they both run simultaneously and depend on each other, I'm not sure of any consequences with this yet so I just let it close (15-20 secs). UT2k4 would bugger with config settings (i guess it had to use some time after UT2k4 closed to save configs) and so ending it would halt this and cause you to reset your things to whatever they were.
If you're running XP this is fairly safe, but you still shouldn't - the slow way (just leaving it to settle down) is slow but clean (in that it doesn't cause any leaked memory) - the quick way (as you suggest) is quick but dirty (in that it can cause memory leakage).eXcaliburhc wrote:

It's your memory. I had 1GB of memory, and had this problem. As soon as I dropped in another Gig, the problem went away.
Yes it is the game not releasing the memory. The OS will take some time releasing it. With more memory you don't notice it that much. I have a GIG and it holds it for 20-30 seconds after I quit the game.
{RR}SinisterCaesarSalad is right. BF2 takes up to 700MB of your ram if you have 1 gig. I upgraded to 2 gig, now BF2 even takes up over 1gig of memory, but runs smoothly and my poor little desktop is revived in 5 secs...
Usually around the minute mark, but then I'm not doing anything else with it, so it's not a problem. I also prefer it to 'close' without hitches. ... will soon upgrade to 2gig though
Same i thought it was just me.
