Bf2 Help!!!

[Son1990]

Ok, well no OC on my rig at the moment and well, I get to the startup screen to choose my army and kit and the mouse pointer just freezes nothing I can do. any ideas?

[Son1990]

Anyone!?!

[Feydd]

....have you installed all the patches?

[Son1990]

What is the latest path out? I played 2 nights ago with no problom.

[Feydd]

1.3 i think

[mils128]

the newest patch is 1.03 but, a new patch is going to be out tommorow, in light of the release of EA Special Forces Mod.

[Son1990]

ok well lets hope that works. any links to where i can DL one?

[SinsFeelNatural]

The new update is only for unranked servers.

[Son1990]

Well nothing is helping.

[SinsFeelNatural]

uninstall, delete registry keys restart and reinstall.

[Son1990]

How do i delete registry keys?

[Janus67]

use regedit. do a search in regedit for battlefield 2, DICE, and ea games. look through and delete any keys relevant to battlefield2.

[Son1990]

Thank you. Im going to go see if this works

[Son1990]

Nope.....still dosent work. Freezes at kit and army selection.

Reformat :)

[Son1990]

yea, i was gonna do that tonight anyway, my weekly thing :)

You reformat weekly?

I think I reformat too much as it is, planning a new one to repartition hard drives for more functionality, feasablity. I get sick of the activation each time, although if you do it enough, you never have to activate. ;)

Actually you only have to activate it once for each hardware configuration, just save the activation file from before and then write over the file after install.

I actually had a lot more problems with BF2 after the 1.03 patch. The server menu would lock up a lot while updating. Seemed it only happened to me compared to other friends with the game. If it didn't freeze (rarely) it was amazingly fast. Game always seemed a little glichy, even without OC.

[Janus67]

that and more than half of the filters don't work.

[mils128]

There is a new CLIENT patch out for Ranked and Unranked, 1.12,

[Son1990]

Ill prob DL 1.12 and yes I reformat weekly. Benchmark scores tend to be more accurate on a system with only drivers and the benchmark programs installed. I have everything on my backup HD so its easy.

Hm, my friend was having the same problem yesterday. When he got into a server, his keyboard and mouse would stop responding. I'll do some research and see if I can figure out what's going on.

[Wwing49]

I have the problem, I am Centurion's friend! HELP!^#$%*^(^$#@

All I want to do is play some BF2:SF :'(

xfire caused this glitch in BF1942 sometimes, that may be the problem if you're using it.

Well you are a few seconds late and I am no in the process, EDIT: LONG process, of reinstalling and repatching. I will try this if the problem continues

[Wwing49]

Just reinstalled, repatched, etc. Still messed up. Turned off Xfire, still messed up. I havent tried normal BF2 (no SF) but I am skeptical if that will work. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! If anyone here has a really cool machine gun and knows where EA headquarters is, PM me!!

[SinsFeelNatural]

Maybe try a msconfig @ the run menu
and disable all startup programs - reset and run Bf2 only.

No luck...

[Janus67]

try it in regular BF2, this will at least let us know if that is the problem or not...

[Wwing49]

Regular BF2 does the same thing. I meant to mention that but forgot.

[liftedcj7on44s]

have you thought that maybe the disk maybe scratched????

[Showstoppermd]

last time i had this problem it was a messed up profile. All my mouse and keyboard settings for vechicles and movement were blank. Verify if the control settings are set and if they are blank reset them.
