Hey everyone, i recently patched to 1.5 and now when i start BF2 my screen turns black and flashes twice then crashes to desktop- the game wont load. I know it is not a hardware problem i play COD and many other games with no problem it just seems to be this particular one. Maybe its a registry problem? Maybe I need to update my BIOS? I heard that can be dangerous though. Maybe something stupid? I don't know but it is making me frustrated.
