what percent does it crash when your are on the load screen

and what are you normally doing when it crashes in game. Vehicles, weapons, ect

[WTfootballdude82]

it usually crashes at around 14% on the lode screen, but it varies. when it crashes in the game im usually in a vehicle, like a helicopter but sometimes it just crashes anyways

[WTfootballdude82]

yeah it pretty much just crashes whenever on most maps....

Have you tried using the new bf2.exe made by [R-DEV]Ancientman? It allows more memory to he used on BF2, follow the installation, see if that helps:

Q: I am getting crash to desktops when loading/changing levels.
Q: I am getting a lot of lag on levels.

A: The most common cause of this is that you are running out of memory. BF2 was a memory intensive game, and PR only increases on that.

First, you can try lowering your video settings, in particular, Textures. If that doesn't help or fix your issue, you can try increasing your virtual memory. Information on how to do this is located in the Installation Guide wiki. See HERE.

If that STILL doesn't work, you can try patching your bf2.exe to allow it to use more than 2GB of memory. Firstly, you want to backup your current bf2.exe in your /Battlefield 2/ folder. To do this, simply rename it from bf2.exe to bf2.exe.original. You should back it up incase you have any issues in the future. Now you need to download the patched bf2.exe. This can be found in THIS zip file (THIS one if your using the EA Downloader version) (If you get a virus warning, ignore it, just a false positive). Simply extract it next to bf2.exe.original, and your good to go. Thanks to R.J.Travis for the original method.

Follow those instructions, and report back if it solves your problem

I think it´s a Vista thing.
Try the bf2.exe Scot mentioned.
It helped me.

thebf2.exe patch doesnt work, it an error msg pops up when i load it that says "this aplication has failed to start because MEMORY.DLL was not found."

I have the same problem and I have tried the BF2.exe patch and i still have the CTD problem

[itl0g]

maybe this would help because i had that same problem when loading maps then to a ctd... first check if you have the multiplayer .85 core and levels before installing the singleplayer. For example the map ejod desert wont work when you look at its file in D:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\prsp\levels\ejod_desert there is no client.zip file but when you look at this file for multiplayer D:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\levels\ejod_desert there is a client.zip file. try copying the client.zip file from multiplayer to singleplayer map files and maybe your good to go.. note that you should copy the client.zip file of the same map.

i've got the same problem like 'WTfootballdude' and i got vista so how and sometimes its work and sometime it CTD

[Iron_Golem]

Stupid question but have you downloaded the origanal PR .856 or whatever the newest version is?

[Black Bird]

if u din`t instaal PR Core map pack it won`t work for PRSP that means u must install PR PR map pack PRSP and PRSP map pack

[Iron_Golem]

ok, do you have a clean install of PR (EDIT: And PRSP) and BF2 dosent have the same problem?
