BF2 Crashes?

[CanaBalistic]

IM having this problem when starting up bf2. The logo appears then my screens flicker black a few times then it crashes to desktop.

I think the problem might be my dual montor setup. I have 2 analog montors in an extended display mode.

have you tried changing your settings so that you only have the one monitor?

yeah it helps if you can narrow down when it started happening.

Also whats "BF2" it might help if you didn't assume we knew what it was.
Better yet if you also linked the company's site so people with time could read thier tech support forums.

I think he means Battlefield 2. Also, what video card are you using, is it that X700 256mb you posted about a while back? if so, i dont think its because your cards too old, which is a problem for some people i think. also, get the newest drivers and patches installed. if the problem persists, i would suggest reinstalling the game, just to make sure that it wasnt a bad install, ive had that happen before with other games.

[CanaBalistic]

Yeah sorry for the un-informative post. I still have the x700.

I have removed and re installed the game. i've tried it with all display options. extended display, clone, strech.

With extended or clone the game will crash back to desktop after the inittial load screen.

With strech mode i got a bit further and had the game load up. I couldnt get past the account screen which would tell me it was connecting. I waited 10min and nothing. when i tried to esc or alt+tab nothing would work and i had to force a restart.

try using just the single monitor. and liek i said, how old are your drivers, and have you recently patched the game? i think they just came out witha new one not too long ago. i dunno if itll help, but its worth a shot, you hsould alawyas keep drivers and games up to date.

do you play games on your comp?

and to canbalistic- bf2 is the buggiest pos in the world. it got to the point where i don't play it cause its a waste of time playing. But when i did play, i had a dual moniter setup, but running on 2 different cards. Its really cool for like ts and xfire

i had the same problem, but not with my regular bf2 it only did it with bf2 special forces, the message said :" mods/bf2/shaders/lighting.fx not found!!! _DO_check your working directory,_AND_ sync your shaders folder becore calling upon your local rendering programmer/GP. (really!)"

yeah so thats the problem i have and i dont know what the hell it means lol


this game is a pain in the ass to run unless your computer is top notch.

I had that same problem leprosy. What I did was go to control panel and did a search for the file lighting.fx I found the file so I copied it and put the copy into the mods/bf/shaders/ folder. After you do that it should work fine. Good luck.
