Well if you did try EVERYTHING mentioned (make sure you try it all), did you make sure to adjust your video settings? This mod is a bit more video intensive than vBF2, so try lowering your video quality a bit and see if it helps. Also, there is a bug that causes a crash if you play at lower than 1024x768 resolution, this is supposed to be fixed for the next release.

One other issue, this mod is extremely memory intensive, I recommend you uninstall any programs that are space hogs/unused and manually delete Temporary Files by going to your search under the windows taskbar and typing %temp% and clearing the folder (just the contents NOT the folder itself). This will free up you memory and improve gameplay speed and seriously reduces crashes if not stop them completely.

ahhhh.... ok my brother has vista.. and ive done all the different batch files.. and even after running it.. admin and everything.. (it even said the files were copied with no problems..), it still goes to the warning screen..
if the files were copied and changed? why would it go back? do i need to delete something? i really want him to play and im so confused on how to get this warning screen to go away. ive tried everything that has been mentioned in this forum.. even that total domination or whatever its called..
i dont know what to do..
and he even uses the disk.. no ea downloader version.

What extension does the download have?

If it's RAR then go to www.rarlabs.com and downoad WinRAR.

It also crashes often when I load a map and it reaches 14%. My resolutions are on higest possible for everything. I just dont know! (im running Vista-_- but have XP)

Any idea's at all?

Thanks so much!

Exact same problem, quad core with 4 GB of ram and 64 bit vista. I have no idea how to actually run one core only.

Hey.

I'm an PR-veteran (played since first release ), now I tried to reinstall it on my new pc.

So, I installed BF2, rebooted and patched to 1.41.

Vanilla-bf works fine.

Now I downloaded the 0.8 Core and the Lvls.

I doubleclicked the 0.8Core.exe, but nothing happens.

Is this some prob, caused by one of Vistas (64bit) stupid "security" - programms?
