BF2 HELP


I need help! Ill be playing Bf2 for about 5 or 10 minutes, and then the game will close down with no error message. I tried deleting all of my background tasks, but the problem keeps happening. I dont know what the problem is. Can someone gimme some help?

Do you have any disc image emulators installed? If BF2 sees an imaginary disc drive, it freaks out.

No I didnt install anything. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. The crash problems are a bit better, my game has only crashed once. I still get screen freezing, but theyre no big deal. Thanks for your response.

May need to update the video drivers. EA Suuport can do a better job of helping.

....hmmmm



I've had some rare but occasional crashes - and I've always had a fake drive installed.

And my friend gets the crash more than often, and I sure at one point i put a fake drive on his computer...


interesting theory - ill have to test some things out - maybe I can finally get my friend to shutup about it :)... I built him a gaming computer and got him addicted to the game. It was his first computer and i'm sure you can imagine how often he calls with problems (mostly this one).

Yeah it was my drivers. Both audio and video. If I update my drivers, is it free? If so, Ill update and get it fixed. And yes, EA Support sucked ass.

Yes updating drivers are free. NEVER use the M$ ones else you usually run into problems.

Just go to the ATI or NVIDIA web site (whatever your video card is). Most video cards now days are NVIDA or ATI.

Ok, thanks a million.

Sure you are downloading the correct drivers?

Are you sure the nVidia drives are installed?

Maybe Windows installed its own drivers and thast is why the nVidia software gives you that error.

Yes, but are they Microsoft drivers, or nVidia drivers?

reply

If you are SURE, by checking through the hardware manager that they are nVidia, and the driver editions do not match the ones you are downloading, then try uninstalling then try running that install again.

If not..then you need to contact nVidia.

Hey, i need help on some other issue, and was hoping your are the right person to ask. For some reason i don't get any of my stats, ranks, awards or anything like that updated. Been playing for like a week, yet all my stats says "0"... Know what could be the cause of this?

I do know that stats can take a while to update, but not that long.

Dumb question, but you sure you not playing the demo?

Othe than that, I can only think thyat you are playing on non-rated servers.
Make sur eyou are playing on those with corporal stripes icon.

If thatis not it then you got ot contact EA suppoert. Takes 24-48 hours to get a response.

reply

Not playing the demo, and when i play on a rated server (i'm aware they exist) the game just say every round in a map is a draw when finished. Both teams have 0 scores. F ucking anoying....
