PR Technical Problems Thread

It didn't work at first... I then deleted my cache folder again and installed the latest Nvidia drivers. Played two rounds without crashing with everything maxed out, even textures .

practically what that patch does is it allows the BF2 engine to use more than 2GB of RAM

welcome to the solution:

http://realitymodfiles.com/ancient/BF2MemoryPatch.zip


download that, replace your BF2.exe (make a backup just in case).

And then the problem should be fixed (worked for me)

Can I use that on win xp, maybe it'll help with md5 errors. Sometimes 100% of my deaths are from punkbuster

I know, I tried editing bf2.exe myself a few months ago with Visual C++ but I got kicked by PB after doing that...

OK, creepin I tried that and I still can't play...CTD ever 3 minutes.

well then, go and jump down a bridge..



on a serious note:

RAM and OS of urs pls.

[Sonic]

well then, go and jump down a bridge...

How does one exactly jump down a bridge?

Is there a hole in which you can fall into?

One would jump off a bridge.

Anyway, on a serious note.

I think I may have got it working, I re-installed PR (for the 6th time) deleted PB then reinstalled that, then set my resolution to max. Oh, and increased my virtual memory and did the whole thing regarding the Memory Patch.

On me the game started crashing yesterday after getting to a server. Any ideas why?

[draeh]

For some it is a problem with the size of the new textures and you do indeed need the memory fixed BF2.exe that creepin posted above. For some of us, the CTD 1-4 min. into the round is not related to PR. If you check, you will find that it is happening to you no matter what the mod is. For me, it happens in vBF2, POE, & PR. The EA forums have many users with a similar complaint that all started Monday night.

My suggestion is... if you crash in PR, try a different BF2 mod or vanilla. If you do not crash then you will know it is strictly related to PR and you can try the various PR fixes.

why does punkbuster hate me?

random disconnects and punkbuster kicks...any suggestions?

I have another problem with PR the training servers won´t work i allways get corrupted memory flow on every training server

[Craz3y|Assasin]

Ok guys i got a problem and its taking a long time for the PR help forum.

Well my microphone works fine (works in TS) but i am have big problems in VoIP. I did search but did not find anything related to my problem. When I was playing all of a sudden VoIP stopped working. I could not hear my squad mates or my own voice(all other sounds were fine). In the audio menu I saw the green bar when testing my mic but did not hear my voice. I uninstalled BF2 VoIP, restarted, and re-installed and it did not work. I also switched my DirectX from the highest level to the second first choice.

I have been getting serious connection problems. every 1 1/2 miniutes it freezes up. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling bf2 and pr and doing the pb registry thing. I have also tried putting the texutres on medium. what else can I do?

[Doro9]

The game freezes or are you being bumped by PB?

[zephyr89]

whoops, bad post. please look at the next post down.

[zephyr89]

I don't know if it is pb or not. what happens is that all action freezes around me, but I can still look around. the "connection problems" message appears on the screen, and then in 5-10 seconds I can play again. but only for 1-2 minutes before it happens again. after 10-15 times of this happening I freeze up again, exactly the same, but I get booted from the server and it says "your connection has been lost" nothing there about pb at all. did you guys do anything like 3 days ago? cause that is when all this started happening.
