WOW, WTF!?! Game crashes immediately

Rambo_Medic · 11-25-2005, 09:40 PM

Okay, I install BF2 SF and as soon as I get done patching it. (I reinstalled BF2, installed BF2SF, then patched to 1.12) and I try to run it, it goes to black screen, and crashes to desktop! How pissed am I? Enough to want to choke the EA execs!

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH EA AND RELEASING BUGGY AS HELL GAMES?!

Well, you bought SF.

SF in my eyes remains a way to milk a community of money, this is compounded by allowing SF weapons in vanilla BF2.

You fell into this trap and are paying the price.

Sorry for being so melodramatic but its the truth. I really don't think they care about the finished product as long as it pulls in the $$$.

Sounds like screenmode problem. You have a refresh rate forced?

Rambo_Medic · 11-26-2005, 12:32 AM

Yes...

What else could it be?

Rambo_Medic · 11-26-2005, 12:50 AM

UPDATE: Okay... You've gotta be kidding me....

Go to My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\Default\Video.con

Change the resolution's refresh rate to yours...

EDIT: My rage has still not subsided....

its really hard to make someting that is compatible with millions of different kinds of computer configurations. its like trying to make a peg to fit in circles, sqaures, triangles and everything in between at the same time.

People should always list their pc specs when asking for help troubleshooting.
I bet you're not as pissed as those who paid for the download and are still waiting to be able to play SF. Some paid and can't even try and run it, tho I think EA finally cleared that up?

Rambo_Medic · 11-26-2005, 06:56 PM

Yeah, cept thats exactly what happened. I paid for it, and it wont run.

I learned that my solution is only applicable to people who have forced their refresh rates.

Caslon · 11-26-2005, 07:02 PM

Was that a solution from EA?

I feel for ya.

Still...Rambo_Medic..list game card for our curiosity.

I bet it's fixable here.

Rambo_Medic · 11-26-2005, 07:04 PM

No, its a solution I figured out myself, EA told me to update my drivers and DirectX.....

My Specs

P4 2.53Ghz
1 gig ram DDR
Radeon 9800 Sapph 128 Mb
