I heard someone say the other day that after installing 1.3 they couldn't run BF2 as it would cause the screen to go black and then crash back to desktop. I had the same thing until I realsied that I'd followed the "10 tips for lag reduction" and renamed by bf2.exe file to bf21.exe. You MUST re-rename the file back to bf2.exe before patching! The first thing the patches do is "process the bf2.exe file" and it can't do this if you've renamed it.
Also if you use the incremental patch it won't recognize the exe as being 1.22 so you have to use the full patch.

Hmm..strange didn't work for me. i had to use the full patch.
Just realized that what I should have said is if your an idiot like me and patched it first without changing the name and then go back after renaming it and try and re-patch then the exe isn't recognized as 1.22 so you have to use the full patch,at least thats how it worked for me .

I can get into the login screen and login fine, but clicking the multiplayer button makes the game instantly crash to desktop instantly. And I don't mean 1/3 times, or even 1/10 times. It happens every single time, without fail.
Any suggestions?

i used the increment and it works fine
And I used incremental to patch it... Any suggestions?
Ditto. I've had CTD's in SF before the patch and after so nothing new there. Otherwise its fine. Think theres other reasons for people CTD than the patch.tvmissleman wrote:

I had no problems with CTD before the patch.
My favorite server gives me CTD :[ Don't know why a specific server does it and not others...
