  • I replied earlier deleting the cache file solved problem.  After 20 to 30 minutes of playing problem reappeared.  Now I delete the cache files every 3 games or so and the game stays stable.  The game is generating a very large amount of files in the cache directory or so it seems.

    i  think i maybe found solution 

    i had already 14 crashes today, finnally i think it stable with this method. 


    The FIX: 
    * Lunch into the game 

     * delete cache before join server.
    * Every time you join server / match, delete cache

  • Cleared cach files and after playing one game of BF2041 the cache folder had 1,500 files and the size of the files totaled 640MB.  I call this unacceptable and want it fixed now.

    i have another way to automate delete cache 

    Save below script to .bat file,  run the .bat file,  and run the game. 

    what it do: 

    it will delete every 20min the cache folder,  the numer 1200 equalt to 20min.

    you can change it as needed.  

    @echo off
    :loop
    del /q "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\BattlefieldGameData.kin-release.Win32\cache\*.*"
    timeout /t 1200 /nobreak >nul
    goto loop

    @Ungineer it can be even more, my folder is already 1.72gb, and it will be more.
    Its shaders cache for game, for each map (gametype).
    IF ya delete those shaders , it will download it during gaming , this could need some system/game performance <> depends what connection and system ya got.

    @iigloo hey man, after the update they renamed folder to:
    BattlefieldGameData.kin-live.Win32
    This folder is the current cache folders for bf2042.

    Ya can delete the other folder.
    BattlefieldGameData.kin-release.Win32

    Cheers
