XP Has anyone found a fix for this??

-.-Maverick-.- · 02-08-2010, 04:58 AM

Im sry if it sounds like a noobish question, but has anybody found the fix for the high textures = crash problem?

I mean I have a 9800gt with 1gb and 2gbs of ram and it still crashes.

I remember reading something about letting bf2 allocate more memory or something like that.
Any thoughts?

A friend of mine kept crashing to desktop with no errors and thought it may have been something to do with high textures but when turned down it made no difference. He has managed to 'sort of' fix it by going through several steps already put up on these forums, what he did was

-Downloaded Battlefield Cleaner and cleared all caches

-Deleted the PB folder & Uninstalled Punkbuster & reinstalled it from evenbalance

-Updated his graphics drivers

-Changed his sound from software to hardware

Now his game still crashes out but only when a round ends and he is in the middle of changing map. For some reason he usually gets to 14% on the loading and crashes which I believe is the part loading Geometries... All he does now is once a round ends, he leaves the server and rejoins.

I know its only a temporary fix but its better than crashes whilst playing.

dude people with 4 gigs of ram are crashing and having way better hardware as you. Just face it , xp 32bit can only handle 2 gigs for games and will reserve 2 gigs for the operating system, so even upgrading ram wont help.

Stick to medium ( try lightning, in stead of textures, worked for me but i still crash occasionaly at end of round) and wait for a hotfix.

As this might be an issue for BF2/PR and in that way partly true, that statement itself is wrong. 32bit OS can all handle and use a maximum about 3,0-3,3 GB (depending on the system). Specific software can even turn the usage up to about 3,6 GB on 32bit Systems.

And there's no such thing that XP reserves itself 2 GB. Not even Vista gets itself 2 GB.... If u use XP, open up the Task Manager for the numbers...

But yeah, upgrading won't help for that issue.
