Not launching anymore -- weird error.
Pentium 4, 3.00 GHz
2 GB DDR2 RAM
Radeon x1650 (512 MB)
I'm having some problems with Battlefield 2... Completely out of the blue, following a return from a weekend out with my partner.
When I click on the shortcut or EXE of BF2, it shows me the splash screen... Which then promptly shuts down, as it should do.... However, the executable does not open. I am stuck with a BF2.exe in my task manager, using 50% of my CPU.
I can leave it for hours, and it will not open.
I have tried the following:
Defragging
Disk Cleanup
CHKDSK
Virus Scan
Spyware Scan
Reinstall
Restarting the PC
and I tried opening the game in compatability mode for windows 2000.
I have Windows XP SP2, and I am on a network.
I have played numerous times before-- everyday for the past year. It's just decided to play up since this weekend.
Any ideas?
Do you need any extra information?

Re: Not launching anymore -- weird error.
Hm. I only get this error after I have installed a patch.
Maybe the patch I got from the torrent website is dodgy.
Anyone else know of any decent speeded downloads for the 1.4 full patch?

Re: Not launching anymore -- weird error.
The current patch is 1.41, not 1.4
I cant really give you any decent download sites I'm afraid... been a long time since I downloaded it... I'm in the UK anyway, so if you are in the States you probably wouldn't get the same sort of speeds as I do from places I do use (usually try to find host's in my country).
BTW, I get this exact same problem also sometimes... but I know for a fact that mine is caused by my dodgy DVD drive that I need to replace. It seems to struggle reading my BF2 discs (Vanilla or SF) sometimes, completely random and a bit weird really.Finestyle
It matters not what letters or numbers come before my name, I'll always be 1stMIP.

These guys are pretty good. I'm in North America and they are fast for me.
