    Multiplayer works fine , single player crashes to desktop !

    Hi,

    I had only played BF2 offline like once..and only for a few moments to get the helicopter controls down.

    But after that I played online exclusively.

    Now , when I try to get back to the single player mode ( I have a new joystick I want to fully test out with the helicopters offline ) the screen goes right back to the desktop !

    I've been reading EVERYTHING related to this .

    My question is...if I can play online PERFECTLY...why would it crash for the single player game ? Arent the settings the same ?

    This is my setup:

    Athlon XP 3200+
    1 gb of dual channel PC3200
    BFG 6800GT OC
    Asus A7N8X rev 2.0
    425wt PowerSupply

    I can play half life 2 with 4x AA and 8 X AF without a hiccup !

    Doom 3 caps at 60 fps..but with the tweakguides 'fix' I can go past that..

    So I dont think its my system ! Since I can STILL play online perfectly.


    I just dont understand WHY I can play a single player game ?

    I've tried two different methods..logging on with my online account , then going to multiplayer and then creating a local game with only me playing . ( I just want to practice my flying )

    And I've also tried to do the single player game but once I click 'start server' it exits completely from the game and shows my desktop.


    Any help would be awesome !!

    Also , I have the latest Nvidia driver released on the 3rd and I use onboard sound..but again..I dont think its my system because I can play online fine.

    Please help !!!

    A better pilot helps us all !!!

    lol.

    You know , the only change I made was adding a custom map that this one server was using.

    Thats the ONLY change I made to the game.

    When I re installed thats the only major difference that I could see.

    Hope that helps !

    Are gets you on the right path or whatever.

    Yeah , now I can play singleplayer and everything.

    Asus A7N8X rev 2.0 . Yeah , maybe its the motherboard ?

    It definately isnt my video card 256 MB BFG 6800 GT OC .

    But just re install it.

    After all the tricks and 'defaulting' everything...I just reinstalled and now it plays fine.

    Actually , smoother because before it would be REALLY REALLY choppy offline and in single player mode . Which is strange .

    But now single player is perfect and smooth.

    My advice is to just reinstall then defragment ( advice from tweakguides ) and then play.

    Hope that helps !!!
