i know this has been posted before, but those people can actually get onto a server, i can't. i find an SF server, press join server, and it just exits the entire game to the desktop. any tip[s on what i should do?

this is making me and my parents very mad because they spend their money and stupid games that will not work!

Install the patch 1.12 right after you installed SF again.
I was hard on the border to madness, cause I had the same problem until some1 told me what to do.
Cheers.

Can you get into BF2 servers OK? Is it just SF? And some idea of your Pc specs would be helpful - this could be lots of things. If you can add any more detail it would make it easier to diagnose.

(This may sound stupid, but i see youve been having a lot of probs - but youre not starting BF2 and then trying to join a SF server are you? Because then the game will close down back to desktop, then restart itself in SF.)

Try to update your video-driver... This was the first thing I´ve done... before I heard about patching afterwards.

My brother is having this same problem. I had him reapply the 1.12 patch agaion, still crashes to the desktop. He says he can play single player just fine. He uninstalled both versions of BF2 and reinstalled them. He also reapplied all needed patches. I walked him through obtaining the newest versions of his video drivers.

Still cannot join any servers that run SF

Are you booking up SF or Vanilla BF2?

I had this problem, and if I went into SF, I could play on Singleplayer, and "create local" fine. When I tried to
join a server, it crashed to desktop. Hard drive light would keep flashing. If left for long enough, it would end
all tasks relating to BF". If i booted up BF2 normal, I could jion servers, both for BF2 and SF. After playing some games (SF and Vanilla) through BF2, I can now play through SF as well.

What happens on mine is, say have BF2:SF running, and task manager. Both are in the bar at the bottom. SF is furthest to the left, cos it waqs open first. Join server, screen goes black, then to desktop, and new BF2 bar comes up, but to the right of taskmanager.

If you cant get it to join servers through SF, Use the SF shortcut for singleplayer, and BF2 shortcut for multiplayer.

Edit*** After re-reading your posts, this may not be the same prob, but I will leave the post here.

Hope you get it sorted, it is great fun, even though my graphics sort of look like Duplo. (Bloody great big lego blocks, for those that don't know!!!)

I think this might be connected to the invalid CDKey bug that comes from switching windows user accounts after playing BF2, then playing the game again on that different account. Once, instead of giving me the error, it crashed - I thought this was unconnected, but then I did the fix for the CDkey bug anyway and it worked. I could do this in BF2 but not in SF.

If the worst comes to the worst, uninstall completly, create a new windows user account and install and play BF2 using that account and that account only.

i had the same problem, all ya need to do is close down all other programs in the backround that you dont need but most importantly is your anti-virus, i did that and now my BF runs fine.

Listen Noobs How Long Hav U Waited After It Crashes???


It Doesnt Crash It Minimizes For About 15 Seconds And Then Pops Back Up And Bam Ur Server Is Loading.be Patient. That Should Solve Ur Problem. And When It Does Minimize It Wont Show Up On Task Manager.



Be Patient!!!
