CTD on Bi Ming

[WeeGeez]

Hi, I was playing on a server with 10 or so people on Bi ming, I was on the PLA team...

I had died, respawned and then got into a car (The NOR thingy) I started driving to my SL's Objective marker, so he could set a rally...



The destination is marked by the end of the yellow line (this is where my SL was)

So I started driving from PLA Main, The yellow line was my plan, although when I got to X, PR just Crashed to Desktop literally in an instant, no warnings.

So I started the game up etc, managed to rejoin the server... My SL had died since the last time I was on, so I got in the same car and drove the same route as last time, got to X and it Crashed to desktop AGAIN!

Twice, hitting the exact same spot on Bi Ming! My SL was in the 50. cal at the time of the second CTD and he told me when I came back for the third time that the car I was driving parked neatly next to the other one (from previous CTD) at the bottom of the road.

EDIT: This is strange, first time i have ever got an error message for CTD

That's frickin weird.....

Anyhow, that sounds like a pretty random, and probably unrepeatable, bug. I'd say go try Bi Ming again and see if you can make it happen.

Ok, Bi Ming 16. I loaded it up yesterday on a server, I was brittish. I Selected the british starting point (Communications) and I spanwed on my desktop

So I tried going Chinese... I did manage to spawn this time, all though when I got to the first capbable flag... I looked south I think and I CTD.

I tried on a local game... same result in any vehicle.

Bi Ming is CTD heaven.

CTD Happened once again whilst I was walking along the most northern wall inside of the courtyard on Seven Gates.

Do the DEV's have any idea's, this map used to work in 0,7 before. just stopped all of a sudden, does not work atall now shame its my fav map.

EDIT: I installed earlier video drivers, that seemed to do the trick.

That happens to me too lilgeez. It's a shame, my favorite map also. You said earlier video drivers did the trick? I don't know how to revert to my earlier ones or if that will ever work for me

[WeeGeez]

Yes! The drivers I downloaded did work...

1. Download Drivers from this page (This is the driver I downloaded that did do the trick. They are sorta old, but for the 7 series there aint much difference between these and the drivers out now). Download Here

2. Uninstall currently installed drivers (do not follow any BS instructions you are given by nvidia concerning anything to do with removing drivers... Just uninstall from Add/remove programs list then restart your Pc.

3. Navigate to c:\NVIDIA - That folder you see is 50MB of nvidia's crap, so delete it all.

4. Then install the new the driver you downloaded from step 1.

5. Navigate to: C:\Documents and Settings\Windows Account Name\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache and delete anything in there.

6. Play PR load up any map and you should notice "Optimizing Shaders" on the loading screen.

7.(optional) Might not happen to you. I do sometimes run into problems regarding flickering grass, to stop this from happening look at the comment under this Youtube video.

Good luck!
