Battlefield 2 Solid Blue Screen

edited December 2005 in Gaming
All of a sudden I have this problem while playing Battlefield 2. I just start playing for a minute or two and the game freezes. After a few seconds it just goes to a BLANK solid blue screen. This is NOT a Blue Screen of Death - there is NO text displayed on the screen.

Last night I got the 1.03 patch to finally work, and I played for hours with no problems at all. This blue screen problem has just started today. The only change I've made is installing a bunch of new maps (from FilePlanet) this morning. What could be the problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks

    This is a well documented problem and they don't have any plans to fix it yet.

    I looked at every single (valid/relevant) result on Google and nothing helps my problem. And no everybody is not having this problem - there are 780+ active BF2 servers playing version 1.03. I emailed EA Support. They helped me fix my last problem with this patch in 2 or 3 days, so hopefully I'll get it fixed soon.

    Well this is definitely the most buggy game I've ever played. It just worked fine on PB and non-PB servers for about 15 minutes with no problems. I've been joining and looking on Battlefield 2 forums for some answers, and many say its PB's fault. I disagree.. that sounds stupid. I don't know what's going on with my blue screen problem... :shakehead

    thanks for that helpful post of quotes :thumbsup:

    Just calling it a buggy game doesn't fix the problem. Yes I agree, and said it, that its a buggy game and EA is poo, but I still want it to work all the time.

    I just played for about an hour with no problems at all. I don't know what the deal is.. :p

    My point was that there is that you're wasting your time looking for a fix if one doesn't exist (as pointed out). Personally I stopped playing because I got fed up with 99% of the players being "Noob Tubing" "Bunny Hoppers" with a vocabulary that stems no further than "omg u gay lololol u suck" and have no idea what team play or tactics even mean. That and the game bugs that I doubt are going to be fixed without you buying their expansions, which, despite the boycotting will sell well due to all the fanboys and the BHing NTs still able to continue their BH NTing.

    "Noob Tubing" is using the M203/GP-30 at close to point blank range to kill people. Due to retarded coding of the game, the grenade launcher does zero to minimal damage to the person that fires it, so they can just run around, bouncing and firing that at people's feet for a 1 shot instant kill with zero skill involved.

    Bah, don't mention Leeroy Jenkins around me, stupid Dragon murderers.

    awesome. thanx for the clarification. i have noticed that and it pisses me off to no end. i mean i play other games w/ explosives that have splash damage and i usually sacrificing myself for a close range kill. but the nadelaunchers on that game are pretty mo and i hate that.

    exactly..

    bf2 + online multiplayer = ass, i got sick of that game's bugs, players with sub counterstrike lvl of maturity, and uninstalled it shortly after the lan.

    I love the game but that's because I only play on the good servers where most of the time legit mindfull admins are there. Participate in TeamSpeak.

    Some people I know that had this problem was because of a powersupply problem. Or something of a power issue/driver conflict/etc.

    Have you tested it on a spare PC. It might be a conflict between the game and your PC's configuration. Which is most likely the problem.

    Get ATI tool and monitor your graphics card Temparature when you play to make sure it is not getting overheated/also monitor all of your other hardwares temp. Then check your system processes (Just randomly swith to the desktop Ctrl+Alt+Del and check out the temps.

    I really hope you have better luck at this. New Patch.

    The game is really good once you have optimized your system. Ohh and make sure your not running any folding software in the background. I almost did a complete reformat, but found out this was the problem.

    Make sure there are no other OpenGL/DirectX programs are running at all.

    I am finally going to get the servers up and folding for me while I am away.

    yeah it works fine now.. haven't had this problem since then. I've had off and on problems with BF2 for the whole time I've owned it.
