Hell all!
I recently posted information about a fix for the Crashing to Desktop when clicking the "Join Game" button. After months of research, I have discovered that the problem ISN'T EA or BF2 OR the Patches -- it's Windows.
BF2, as we all know, is a game that uses a LOT of system resources - Memory, Processing Power, AND...... Internet/Network bandwidth! It is the latter of these three (bandwidth) that, with Windows Service Pack 2 installed, is causing BF2 to exit to the desktop.
In a nutshell, Microsoft decided that they would limit (for security reasons) the amount of network traffic being sent from your comupter. Their justicifation was to minimize the amount of possible viruses/warms being transmitted from infected computers. Below is a link that has more information on this issue.
You can even download a program to fix this issue -- it has worked for me after everything else failed!
