If you are one of the people who sufffer crashes just as you click "Join game" then I may have a possible fix.

This worked for me and it might for you.

Under audio options change it so it reads Hardware, not software, and change the quality from what you currently have it set to, to the next one up e.g, low to medium. After that close the game and re open, join a server and you should be set to go.

This worked for me and it's not guranteed to work for you but give it a go. You can only try.

Use the ESC button rather than hitting the 'Join Game' button.

I know many of you having troubles with 1.30 patch, can you at least take the time to look at other threads, there are many people with same problems, please do not make new post if sum one has same problems as you and he has made the post already. Thank you


Ok here is what I found  this might fixit for sum

First off Install full patch not "incremet" ( this should fix most of the problems )
Update Punkbuster After new patch ( full install ) update your PB, you can find out how to auto update PB in general chat section of this forums ( titled top 10 tweak guids )

To steps above should fix the problems also found this on other forums that might help 

1. I found this sorted, my problems out, alternatively you just need to switch your PC to run with just 1 cpu (in window task manager, right click BF2.exe, select affinity- deselect one of the cpu's and away you go!)

2.If that dont work dude, try turning Hyperthreading off in your BIOS. Done the trick for me, I had the exact same problem.
I dont have Dual processors though but if the above post don't work give it a bash.

3.Video settings check make sure they set to low ( only for now just to see if it helps our problem )

4. After new patch update your PB, you can find out how to auto update PB in general chat section of this forums ( titled top 10 tweak guids )

This should help few of you Enjoy

Peace Boris

Updating your punkbuster


How does this work?


Instead of Battlefield 2 manually and time consumingly trying to do it in game, quickly do it with this easy fix (may not work if its already updated). This tweak will work for america's army and also any other game that uses punkbuster. Punkbuster also changes issues in performance in their patches so it is well worth downloading the latest driver.


How do you do it?


Step 1: http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php visit this site and scroll down to the pbsetup.exe link


Step 2: Either run or save the program


Step 3: Click add game and select "Battlefield 2" (and any other games you have on the list)


Step 4: Click Update


Peace Boris
