Constant crashing - BF2 on PC

As hundreds before me. BF2 keeps crashing.

Now, incrementally - things have gotten better.

Deleted that settings folder in Documents.

Disabled ALL layovers: Origin, Discord (had to uninstall Discord as one crash currupted so many files, Discord didn't work anymore) and Nvidia.

Got in to the game.

Still more crashes. Removed that one line about shaders. Slightly better.

But now I can play one round, maybe two - and I get a full crash.

Got a Nitro 5 AN515-52 - Intel i5-8300H, 16GB ram dual channel - and Nvidia GTX1060 6GB going out on an Acer KG271. 

I mean, with ALL the other people having the same problems - this can't be a user-problem, but bad design somewhere? Pls fix it. It's one of the reasons I got Premier in the first place, and recently my daughter's picked up the game - and haven't gamed with her since Fortnite. She won't do Apex Legends. And oddly... all the crashes and "code:leaf" in Apex, is just peanuts compared to the time spend with bugs now on BF2. 

  • Not going to put this on solved yet - as I have to see how it goes.

    But one fix to crashes *MIGHT* be with laptops or PC's with integrated graphics on the CPU, and Nvidia discrete GPU in addition - have this set only to the discrete. Had a couple of hours now uninterupted, until it claimed I had no connection to the internet. But no BSOD at least. 🙂

    @EA_Atic No real big issues anymore. Still get the BSOD on startup at times, if I've been running the PC for a while and playing other games. Also, when I've plugged in the external display, and haven't done a reboot. But have to do the reboot for Apex at any rate, as Apex crashes a lot of times when I don't. With everything on SSD, this is just a minor inconvenience.

    Not sure for certain what the sollution was, but either of these two:
    1) Forcing use of discrete GPU, not allowing integrated to take over.
    2) New Nvidia drivers that came right after my OP.

    Just noticed that some games don't like having display or GPU being swapped, so I'm putting my bet on the first. 🙂

    Anywho... case closed for now. 🙂
