Problem with BF2

Just bought the game after playing the warez version and liking it. Upon installing it the game didn't work. My device drivers were the latest, so I tried installing the ones BF2 came with. Game started, I made an account and now it just hangs at "CONNECTING TO ACCOUNT" or whatever it says. :| It just sits there, I have to either turn off my computer or blindly use the keyboard to kill the BF2.exe process. I don't have a firewall and i'm not behind a router.

hrm you said you don't have a firewall and that's the only thing I can think of :( Sorry

Trying using Daemon to make a minidisc image of it and run it that way, mine used to hang like that occasionally when I kept the disc in but I wanted my DVDRW back so I did that and it hasn't done it since.

I just tried deleting the old BF2 profile I had for the warez copy and it started up and connected fine. Thanks anyway guys. :sunny:

OK not so fast, it's doing something else now.

I got on last night and played for a long while on a ranked server. no problems what so ever.

Now whenever I try to login it sits there for about a minute and then says "Connection refused by the server."

What the shit? This is starting to get really gay. :| Again, no firewalls or blockers or anything. Other internet stuff seems to be working A-OK.

sometiems you get the connection refused, usually it connects after another try though.

:lol: This is fucking great. It seems that everytime I somehow magically overcome one problem, another arises. Played a bit this morning with no problems whatsoever except for lagging out due to my connection. No biggie.

Tonight I try to hop on, click on a server, click join and the game just drops straight to the desktop. I try it a few more times with differen servers blah blah, same thing. I try to start a singleplayer game, it works great. The fuck?

So I figure it's the shitty ingame server browser, fire up ASE with the BF2 workaround..SAME SHIT. No matter what, it seems I cannot join internet games now. This is completely fucked. I'm going to go see if reinstalling helps at all, anybody have any other ideas?

Don't have an answer but you might want to google this problem or go to a more dedicated bf2 forum like totalbf2.com (i think). I'm sure you'll be able to find a solution.

:rofl: I've given up completely now. Now after reinstalling I don't have any problems joining servers, but after being in the server for about ~20 seconds I get a blue screen of death! Doesn't matter if its online, offline, or anything. Bluescreen, have to restart. No driver listed, plenty of diskspace, not overheating so it isn't a hardware issue as far as I know. Changing drivers DOESN'T APPEAR TO DO ANYTHING. I am at my wits end with this game, as I type these letters I have a .357 magnum revolver to my temple, about to send me to a world where Battlefield 2 actually works.

:lol: I'm going to wrap up my Battlefield 2 CDs and dump them into a time capsule along with Windows ME so scientists in the future can synthesize digital evil.

ps shadowwolf: The first thing I did was google all my bf2 problems, i'm not one to come running to TW because my shoes are untied. Google is little help, will try and check out some other forums too if I can actually muster the energy. Thanks anyway :]

good stuff, suggested because seometimes people overlook other forums as a source of info, but you are coming to one for help in the firstplace. Sorry to hear about the problem though :/

Any chance that you have onboard sound and a sound card in your system? I had a similar crash only when gaming when I failed to notice my onboard sound was active in the bios. I was using my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz for all my sound but just it being active in the bios caused crashes in games. Just an idea.

One other thing that cause BSOD crashes for me was running motherboard monitor. I'd load a game and crash even with all temps fine. Uninstalled MBM and everything was fine.
