I know it's only a demo, but hear me out.

I installed it a few days ago. Played it. Enjoyed it (omg). No problems. Next day, played it - no problems. Now, when I run it I get:

"BF2142.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."
(and the option to send an error report etc)

Great. I uninstall the demo, and reinstall. It works again!   I play for a bit, quit, and go eat. I come back, start it up...

"BF2142.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."

Wtf? I uninstall/reinstall...and it's fine again. But when I quit playing, and then come back to it later, it errors AGAIN with the same error! It only does it when I quit out and try and start it up again...if I leave it on, it's fine.

Has anyone else had this or heard about it?

I get that problem sorta, play for a few rounds, it encounters a problem and shuts down. Restart demo, repeat.

Never got this, sounds like your RAM working unstable with the processes.
Try setting the priority via Sys processing higher.

Yes I do actually. Is this a known issue?

Nope, this is a prime example of hardware that does not work together. I have never encountered this issue on either my iMac using Bootcamp (XP) or my normal PC.

im not sure its a known issue, but i think with you saying that, it may be worth investigating if it is the card playing up or not.

i get that same error, i have noticed it only happens when i have alot of stuff running on the background, ie, music, teamspeak, internet browser....

i also noticed my graphics card is getting tosty when i am playing the demo for over 2 hours...

I got my settings as cranked up as they can get but i never had a problem with bf2...
