PLEASE READ - BEFORE DOING ANYTHING - It is vital you read everything then decide whether or not you should personally do this. I am presuming this fix will work, once EvenBalance, sort out their end of the deal. They may update their files tomorrow, in a weeks time or whenever. But the presumed time by the DICE developer is tomorrow. As apparently it is US holiday today.




Just so everyone see's this and doesn't have to go through the other alt+tab thread, they can come to this one, so they don't get confused.

Here is the link to the fix, from Baza: (Who worked on leading the 1.5 update at DICE)

-deleted- NorthPlum You may still get pb kicked, as experienced by some users, at the moment. However we may have to wait for EvenBalance to register the new file. See the the quote from Baza below: (Quote 3)

Yeah, this is a HAWT fix!

We are also working on a full installer which will be the 2Gb file for those who are new to Battlefield 2 v1.50. This will replace existing files once ready and I will post here when that is released. In the mean time use the 1.50 patch install and replace RendDX9.dll with the file you can download here:
TV2 - Battle.no Portal - av spillere, for spillere

The md5 of the zip file is: 7a2b2476b5e23332da260481c1930191

Simple steps

Step 1 - Download the "RendDX9.dll". (http://www.battle.no/?section=download&get=140)
Step 2 - Open up your Battlefield 2 folder (Default: C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2), then drag the "RendDX9.dll" into the main battlefield 2 folder. You will get a prompt giving you an option to overight the current "RendDX9.dll", say yes or replace! (For safety, also keep a copy of your old "RendDX9.dll", so you can rename it to "RendDX9copy.dll)
Step 2 - Open up "My Documents" go to Battlefield 2\mods\bf2 and delete the cache directory.
Step 3 - Open Project Reality and play as you would!

I havent had to do anything on my machine but Evenbalance will be looking at the file probably tomorrow now due to it being Labour Day over in America.

If you have problems with PB still after PB update then use the older files until Evenbalance has taken a look at the file just to be sure.

Props go to DICE & nea_alecu for getting this done and fixed so quickly!
