Crash to Desktop when joining game

If you find you cannot join ANY game at all without it crashing, then it is probably a problem with your RAM. Most of the time this can be fixed however. The most common problem is that people have dual-channel mode enabled on their RAM. BF2 doesn't like this, so you'll need to goto your BIOS and change the settings to disable Dual Channel Mode.

Crash to desktop when starting

Step 1: Go to your BF2/Mods/xpack/settings folder in Explorer and look for the file: VideoDefault.con. Open the file then click open with notepad.

Step 2: Look for the following line:
renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0

Change to read:
renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1
Hit ctrl+s or save from the menu.

Patching Failed Message

Thanks to Ragnar 11651173

Step 1: Execute Patcher, Choose language, wait for welcome screen, don't hit continue.

Step 2:go to your documents folder and to this location C:\documents\YOUR USERNAME\local settings\temp

Step 3: Next look for a folder which looks like {BLAH....} lots of numbers and chars. Go into that folder structure and copy the files in it (e.g. patch.exe, all the files) to a folder where you can execute them (e.g. create a dir named C:\temp)

then open a commandpromt (type "cmd" in run/execute at startmenu) and go to your new created folder with the patchdata. Execute the with the following line (edit to your installfolder location of course):

patch.exe "c:\FolderWhereBF2 Is"

Watch the magic happen.

Takes a long time to login

Delete your account and retrieve it again, it may be wise to make a backup of your settings first however.

Keep getting the "Connection To Server Has Been Lost" Message

Apparently this can be fixed by "repairing windows"

To do this, put in your windows setup CD and click Repair, This should keep all your files but reinstate windows.

Please try this at your own risk, thanks.

Crouch Key not working

Step 1: Navigate to Documents and Settings\WindowsName\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001\Controls.con and open it with notepad
Step 2:go to the search  and type 'crouch'
Step 3: Once you find it, go to the end of the command. It should say ID_KEY 'something'
that something is what you want to press to crouch. Therefore if you say, leftshift, it would look like this..
ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PICrouch IDFKeyboard IDKey_LeftShift 0 0

Since I only have 1 profile created in BF2, it gives me the name 0001. If you had more than 1, the 2nd profile folder would be called 0002. This goes in chronological order, starting at 0001 with the OLDEST profile.



Peace Boris

Have you tried using something like Registry Mechanic? A free utility is Crap Cleaner @ www.ccleaner.com
It has a registry scan. Just something to try.
