What is the problem you have? Random CTD or CTD on map loading?

This only fixes the EADM problem. If you're having similar issues, but with a disk, then its most likely memory issues. Read the FAQ...

Why this particular problem now? What changed that some of us are all having the same issue at the same time?

EA must have changed the eadm program in some way - guessing.

Actually it was PunkBuster that got updated, and it broke people's EADM versions.

Yea, but EADM versions of BF2 have always had problems though (mostly with the PR mod, but still). EA effectively fails to do what Steam has so easily accomplished. It seems that using downloaded versions of EA games are more of a burden than anything else, really defeats the purpose.

Anywho, this fix worked for me so I owe a beer to the person who figured out this fix, so let me know next time you're in San Antonio.

haha... might be a while until I'm in San Antonio, but thanks for the thought

I'm guessing that PB may have killed EADM, or, possibly, some server authentication via EADM when playing BF2 got messed up and now when BF2 doesn't get the correct message back from EADM, just exits.

Probably the PB theory is more accurate, though.

Which mini disc image do you choose from? I tried the Battlefield 2 [ALL] No-DVD/Fixed Image #3, but I cant mount the image w/ Daemon Tools.
