Can't even open BF2 "illegal operation"

[DN-Cdk-]

Hi all,

Hoping you can help me to get this game working, been waiting for my order to arrive for a week now and finally when I get it, I can't even play it. Very depressing.

Here is an image of the error I get when I double click BF2 to open the game.

I have tried re-installing already then patched it to latest version and got the same error. It did work breifly, then my pc froze up and I had to restart my pc and ever since then it hasn't worked!!!!

I hope you can help me!,
Thanks alot,
Colin.

What spec computer do you have?

[DN-Cdk-]

1.8Ghz
1gig ram
256mb radeon 9600XT
2mb broadband.

I meet all the requirements. The demo ran fine and when the full version did run for about 10 minutes it worked fine, no lag or anything.

try format your pc,

That worked for most of my friends with specs a little lower and higher than yours.

Hope it helps!

It does sound like Windows has a few issues. Have you tried updating your drivers and also Direct X 9c?

[DN-Cdk-]

Format? Thats a huge effort just to play the game where it could be so easily resolved I'm sure. :cry:

I have latest gfx drivers and dx9c

Well it suddenly just decided to work for no apparant reason....

Have you a System Restore point somewhere near when you first installed the demo ? , if so try Restoring back to that point . Thats where I would start mate

And now it has decided not to work again...*sigh*

If I could find out whats cuasing it that would be great! Just did a system restore to no avail...

Loll.... now it worked again but I couldn't join any servers, when I clicked join it didnt give any errors or anything, just "threw" me back to the lobby.

Problem after problem after problem :(

if its intermittent then ask yourself what was running at the time it was working, or rather what services where not running, if worked earlier which is great, now you have just gotta isolate the reason it worked,

[DN-Cdk-]

Easier said than done I'm afraid :(

EDIT: Nevermind, gave wrong info in this post.

Still have'nt resolved the problem and have reinstalled 6 times now!!! :cry:

Format and keep an eye on what u install and its Startup settings ( msconfig via the Start/Run cmd , extreme solution but hey , a clean install will help tidy everything up and maybe speed ya sys up too.
