I don't think it's a cumulative patch. Uninstall everything, then reinstall. Install each patch in order. And update your video drivers.

Re: Help

I just installed 1.03 so I think it is a cumulative patch.

Blitzkrieg have you changed your video card at all? Also if you change the properties in the BF2 link on you desktop to +fullscreen 0 instead of +fullscreen 1 and set you resolution on the desktop higher then the in game resolution it will bring it up in a window. When the game crashes you will get an error message. Just write the message down and do a search for the problem on Google.

Re: Help

Try what I said and see what the error message is. The video card might be the problem.

oh, this might be the issue. i think the *minimum* card to play the game is 5700LE...

i haven't looked at the specs lately, but that's the card i had when i purchased BF2 and i remember that i just snuck in being able to actually play the game (everything on low settings, but still).

Cool Re: Help

If you're using a refresh rate utility, make sure to specify a refresh rate of 60hz for 800x600. It's an oversight left over from BF1942...

Let me know if that helps...
