vbf2 crashes after spashscreen....

[bloodthirsty_viking]

as some of you may know, i have had computer.... diffuclulties, and the only way i could fix them was an os reinstall....

i did that, and now my problem is kinda like how it started..... i cant play bf2..... it is the only game i have installed scince i just did the os reinstall....
all my bf2 disks are scratched to bad to use for install anymore, so i had copyed my bf2 files two a external hard drive, and then put it back onto the computer after the os thing...

i had to use parts of disk one and disk 3 to install with....
i dl'ed pr, made sure everything was patched then installed pr.i tried to run it, but it came up with the vinnila bf2 splash screen, and the screen went black for a second, then the game crashed.... then i tried vbf2 and the same thing happened.....


any ideas?

Can you get hold of BF2 disk that isn't borked and run from that? Could be to do with running disc less.


Are you running from a patched .exe that doesn't need discs or an image of the disc?

the only way i could get hold of a good disk is buy buying one... noone in the city i know playes this...., and preatty much no game retailer arround me has a copy on hand.


and im not sure ith wat you mean on this second part... i click on the icon, and i neded to have the cd in the cd-drive, if thats what your asking...?
