Tried the DX9 solution. No joy. Not sure I want to uninstall C++ as there is quite a bit to delete and not sure what effects this might have on other programs.
It was working a couple of months ago although I've had trouble with the game ever since I installed it. I checked to see if there are any installs relating to C++ recently since that might be the issue. Last MS update didn't contain any so I'm pretty sure that's not the issue since the game worked before. I tend to think it might have something to do with updated Nvidia drivers. Anyway your suggestions are appreciated.😕mileyhappy: If you have any other suggestions please let me know.
Hi,
Indeed it could also be the new Nvidia drivers. After some reading/searching the net I encountered more problems
that showed up after installing newer Nvidia drivers. To test it you could go back a version.
Another thing, that might seem odd, is to check punkbuster. Strange indeed, but In my case it prevented MOH from
from running and I have seen punkbuster named as the source of the problem for BFBC2 too.
Now that I think of it, I tried updating punkbuster after trying to reinstall vc++.
you can download pbsetup here: http://www.evenbalance.com/?page=pbsetup.php
After downloading, upzip the file and run the program. Add BFBC2 as game and check for updates.
This goes pretty fast so this can be done in 1-2 minutes.
Sometimes it's just trial and error when it comes to computers.
I tried the punkbuster solution too before I posted here. I tried it again just now and everything checks out. I hear you about the trial and error thing. Hopefully they can figure out what's going on.
I hope someone has a solution for you. I am really out of ideas now.
