Well, I told myself, I would just live with it till they fix it and not complain, but now it has came to the point where I'm ripping my hair out...

[Main problem]
Well here how it goes, after the euro update came I started getting Freezes that I never had before( Ran fine, not even d/c) , it can happen any time, I can hear sounds, horse walking, spells, but the image was just froze, not like overheating glitches, the temp is just fine (Checked). Now my computer can run just fine on full graphics, shadows and everything so I know my system is good there. After it freezes, I can blindly log out (Even tell my friends that my screen froze BRB), by hitting Esc and then exit.

[Why i even care?]
because its so freaking annoying during those hours when I have to hammer the log in server.... then if I'm on a trade, my friends are screwed over cause I'm the hunter... or if I'm training, since I'm a wizard, I just get killed while not being able to see it...

[What have I tried to fix it?]
I've updated every driver I could find (Even keyboard and mouse), dusted out my computer case, used 6 different anti-virus, followed a couple nice guides for windows XP optimization , defragmented my hard drive with 2 different programs, I upgraded to 1 gig of ram and cant afford anything else at the time, Reinstalled the client like 7 times or so, looked at the official forums, searched the topics here (most went unanswered or saying that its a problem with the latest patch and to wait) , ...now I'm posting...

My computer runs BF2 Just fine on high graphics, so I cant understand why in the world I would have problems here.

Any(Anything) suggestions would be gladly appreciated .
(I know, I’m horrible at posting, but bare with me , sorry for length too )

Thank you for your time

DUDE I HAVE SAME PROBLEM! so come on people help us!

, i had a couple tips come in from different people that i will share don't know if they work yet, but here they go.

First was: To go into windows mode when the freeze happpens ingame , said it resets the screen (Windows start key + Alt +Enter) for those who don't know Not tested
second was: Do something bout a DEP , didn't quite understand that one lol sorry, but i think that was something for duel processors, but i only have hyperthreading Not tested
last one was: To uninstall the newest driver for my nvidia card and reinstall a old stable one, might try that one. Not tested

Well, gonna try those,hope they work, ill update the post if any work

Thanks again

Well, just tried the Windowed mode: Failed , just made it crash with the ????? error

Not quite given up yet , now going to try a older driver


ill try to keep updated.

~kurogane~

YES! Good news! the Reinstall a old driver: Pass, played 5 hours yesterday, then stalled for like 3 hours, then fought in the fortress war with my union and no freeze!~


What i did to solve?
I uninstalled the nvida drivers (Newest ones) and installed the driver that came with my Graphics card (77.72)

If for some odd reason , it does freeze again ( im hoping not) i will come and correct myself

Hope that helps some people
