I thought I would share my experience to overcoming this issue. I have noticed allot of chat about this in various threads and thought it would be good to make the short term work around a bit more accessible then buried in another thread somewhere.

Don't select "Join Game" let "Auto Ready" do its thing and you're good to go.

I used to get this issue all the time but since I've been doing this I haven't had the problem.

Hope this helps somebody.

But then it takes like 5 minutes to join and you don't get any vehicles.

Instead, press ESC to join.

Wanna hear something great?  I had just come home form a VERY long day and i sat down on my comp to play some good ole bf2 with the clan.  Well, i join the map they're in  and start playing.  5 min later *CRASH TO DESKTOP* so i rejoin.  this time though, i crashed as i hit the join button.  Then i restarted the whole comp and joined again.  Crashed about ehhh 2-3 min in.  So i found anohter server all by my poor self.  PLay for about 20 min crash.  Basically you get the picture.  IT CRASHED 6 FREAKING TIMES THAT NIGHT, 6!!!!!!!  I went to bed in a bad mood to say the least.

it happens to me sometimes too. First it freezes during like 5 seconds then I see the windows pointer over the loading screen and I know that in about 2 seconds, im gonna see my desktop... during the freeze, the last second of music before the crash loops

CrazeD - We're talking about when you first start to play where you're more than likely going to join a game half way through making your vehicle point moot. You're talking about when a round ends and you press join to start the next round in which case I have never experienced a full crash to desktop.

As for the 5mins comment, it may feel like 5 mins when you're itchin to play but it's more like 20secs.
