BF2S Forums Blue screen-->crash when logging onto servers

Hi there,

I used to have simmilar problems. I had the whole range from "freezing" to "back to desktop" to "restarts". It happend randomly during gameplay or when trying to connect to a server. No matter if it was an internet or LAN-server. No matter if I set the graphics to high or low. No matter, if I underclocked my RAMs. I had crashes after about 10 minutes in game. Funny though, that the game worked in single-player pretty well.

When trying to set up a Peer2Peer client, I increased the Windows XP connection-limit to whatever the highest possible is. Including that patch for the tcpip.sys from "lvllord". After that, the game seems to run without any problems. No crashes, no freezes. I don't know why, but somehow, it helped. Oh, and I have the RAMs set back to SPD-controlled.

Maybe you should give it a try. If it works for you too, it might be interesting to find out why the game doesn't like the the Windows XP default setting of 10 smultanously open connections.
