    New map now causes BF2 to crash during load

    I've been playing around with a new map and was able to load it into BF2 local server ok. After some recent changes (not sure what exactly) the map now causes BF2 to crash to desktop before I get to the "join now" button.

    I've deleted the overgrowth folder as mentioned in another thread, which worked for my first CTD, but now I'm experiencing it again.

    Have you tried starting bf2 in windowed mode? Windowed mode will sometimes show an error while fullscreen won't.

    Does that work even if I use the BF2 mod instead of my own mod?

    Yeh the map I'm working on is based on the BF2 mod, you can omit the MYMod tagline if you want.

    Just changing the fullscreen flag is all you need.

    If it is crashing directly after loading, and right before the "Start Now" button pops up, that means that the game is loading the level you modded, instead of the actual level.

    Be sure to make a copy of the original server file, and you can switch them every time you want to play your mod.

    I'm confused by this. I just created a new map with using the BF2 mod... I didn't create a new mod. And what would cause this to happen if all I did to the map was add a few objects and modify terrain?
