Cat 3.1's and 3.2's crash BF1942 back to desktop w/9700 Pro
I posted this over on the Rage3D forums, and it appears that I'm not the only one having this problem.
http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthre...eadid=33674805 Well, here's a copy/paste: OK, I don't know if it's the Catalyst 3.2 drivers or the 1.31 patch that has done this to my system, but BF1942 crashes back to desktop after about 10 - 15 minutes. My system was fine before hand, but one of the two started the system instabilities. I don't know which it is b/c I installed both around the same time. I dropped back to the 3.1's after running Driver Cleaner and following all the instructions. But I still got kicked back to the desktop after a while. I tried both the SiS 1.13 AGP drivers AND the SiS 1.14 AGP drivers to no avail. I decided to start messing around with the sound settings, and I tried with both Hardware Acceleration on and off and still got the crashes to desktop. So today, I did a clean install of Windows XP SP1, BF1942 ver 1.31, SiS AGP 1.14 and Catalyst 3.2 drivers w/Hardware Sound on. Sure enough, after about 10 mins, it crashed back to the desktop. Arghh. So I went and turned off Hardware Sound and replayed the game. This time, it just rebooted my system altogether after 3 mins I'm at a loss for what to do from here on out. I'm leaning more towards the 1.31 patch, but I dunno. My system was perfectly stable before, now Cat 3.2 and/or 1.31 is f*&king with me. My system is completely stable in everything else and was before 1.31 and 3.2. AGP8x is enabled in the ATI driver panel and Fast Writes are enabled. 2.4GHz Pentium 4 @ 2.8GHz Gigabyte 8SQ800 (SiS655), AGP 1.13, F4 BIOS 1GB PC2700 Memory at DDR448 FIC Radeon 9700 Pro (stock speeds, 325/310) Turtle Beach Santa Cruz (latest WinXP WHQL drivers) Windows XP SP1 Antec TruePower 380 Since making that original post, I went and did ANOTHER clean install using the Cat 3.1's and Patch 1.31. It's STILL crashing back to desktop or hard locking. I'm beginning to SERIOUSLY suspsect the 1.31 patch now |

Right click game Icon, go to properties, and make sure the OS setting is on 2000( For XP too) Not sure if this has been tried by you yet.

I'm seeing the exact same thing
... almost. For me, the game just freezes after about 1 minute. I log into a server (or start a local game), play for about a minute, and the game freezes to the point where I can't even do a cntl+alt+del to get to the task manager. I have been suspecting Directx9, but since MS says you can't go back..... I have similar problems with Raven Shield, too....
