Hi guys,
I recently updated to 1.4 using the full patch, and got the old Black Screen and Crash to Desktop thing happening. Turns out I had done one of those NVidia related memory tweaks by renaming the BF2 exe. Since the shortcuts use the renamed exe, it was still at 1.3 while the rest of the installation was updated.
My fix was to delete the old BF2.exe, and rename the new one the same as I had it in my shortcuts.
Problem solved.
YAY!!!
I hope that helps all you guys who're getting pissed 'cause your patch "doesn't work".
Now if only they'd added a flamethrower to the kits, I'd really be in BF2 heaven ;-)
Cheers,
RPGBait.
