This I think is to do with using an unpatched BF2.exe that has the 2GB limit on it. Search this forum section or look in one of the stickies at the top, the info on what to do is all there.

I have the same problem as the OP. I just can't start the game. PR worked absolutely fine before I installed bf 1.5 and pr 0.87.
I'm using Vista and I have 2GB of memory.

As far as I know, it's useless to use the largeaddressaware flag with BF2.exe if you are running 1.5, because BF2 1.5 includes the ability to use more than 2 GB of RAM.

it still crashs on map loads for me, Lan servers work but internet it has a strop about.

any help?

thepalerider · 09-14-2009, 03:01 PM

Compatibility mode to xp and run as admin not set in desktop shortcut on Vista PCs
Right click shortcut
choose 'properties' from bottom of list
Click on the Compatibility 'tab'(along the top of the window)
Check 'run as admin' box, select WINDOWS XP(service pack 2

Still CTD?
Some other things you can try before you uninstall/reinstall.
Backup your BF2 folder that's inside your documents folder. Once you have a backup delete the original from your documents folder.
Try starting PR from your PR shortcut
a new default folder is created
link to your online account.
If all goes well (CTD gone) all you have to do to get your custom settings back is copy your 'control' file from your backup to the new profile folder.
path:
C:\Users\your user name here\Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0002
note: you may not have a 0002 folder so use 0001

Good luck
