Sometimes after I have finished verifying data, the join game button appears, but the game crashes about 5 seconds later. This happens every 20 map loads or so. It usually only happens with the first server I try in a session of BF2. After I reload the game, I don't experience crashes. Other times my game will randomly crash when I'm in game, running around.

I doubt it's overheating, because I've played games that are way more demanding than BF2 and they have NEVER crashed. In fact, BF2 is the only game I've ever had that crashes consistently.


Does anyone else experience random crashes often?
Any ideas how to fix it?

Happened to me 100 times! No clue why, but I always blame the video card.

that's like mine.

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.
