i have read all the stickies and i have seen that a number of people have this problem. i can run the game fine until...i try to load a quick match or a campaign or a mp. the loader comes on and then the game quits and crashes to my desktop after about 8-20% of loading.

i have tried
1. changing that "refresh rates thingy to 1
2. lowering video settings
3. turning of norton and zonealarm
4. i have all the latest drivers

Have this same problem.Never even had the game running yet. Tried all fixes, tried loading the latest patch, it won't load. Don't think I will ever buy a EA Games game again! You would think that they would at least try to post a fix on their website.

You know (I'm another person on this list another unregistered but I'm totaly and completely seperate from the others ;) ) it's funny how my bf1942 actually ran, but it would crash every 40 mins or so, I started going over things that might improve my game's performance and now it gets stuck here in the loading screen! Joy!

To be more specific, what happens to me personally is the game just instantly closes, leaving the resolution @ the game resolution and not resetting to my desktop one. Happens to me around the same %'s you guys get to.

Same thing happens with my system as well. I can usually play a game, but occasionally a map will freeze during loading at around 8% like you guys said. It's frustrating beyond belief. I can't see any pattern either. However, it is more likely to occur during a single player instant battle. I've seen it happen when loading multiplayer games as well. There must be a fix to this. I've tried everything I've seen in forums, EA Tech Support, and my own ideas. I'd appreciate any help!:(

I have a dodgy stick of ram, whenever it's in my machine it crashes during map-load.

I too am having the exact same problem (crashing to desktop after about 5% map download).

I just installed Win2000. The game worked fine when XP was installed. I suspect it is my video drivers, but since my card is relatively old, i can't find any more recent drivers.

I have an AOpen PA256 MX (GeForce2 32-mb)

EA must be able to figure this out. Dont give up all. This game is wicked !!!!

Hi all,

I may have figured out everyone's problems (hopefully).
Here's what i did.

1) installed the new NVIDIA driver (not from your video card manufacturer)
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

I also did this (but i suspect had no effect)
1) installed VIA 4-in-1 driver (chipset update for motherboard)
2) installed DirectX 9.0a

Not only did the game run....but i was also able to crank up the video details for above what they were before.

I'm running in Win2000.
AMD 1Gig
AOPEN PA256 Geforce2 MX

I originally posted on here earlier about a map loading problem and I think the problem was just my graphics card. Apparently EA recommends a 64 MB and I always thought 32 MB would be just fine. Well, I just got a new laptop and I was cringing when I put Battlefield on because I had heard a lot about laptops not running it well. However, it has a 64 MB card and the game runs like butter. Seems like the simplest solution is to upgrade your card if its only 32, but I know this same problem happens with superb systems so who knows. Maybe kick up the RAM to 768 or something? This game is so frustrating to get up and running, but certainly worth it. EA needs to get on the stick and patch the hell out of this game.

    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
