Title: Why does my game not starting ?
Post by: [NRNS]koeniggsegg on April 15, 2016, 01:20:44 AM
BF2 does not start even though I uninstalled the game and re-installed 3 times, checked event log files (incase of any errors), did that error fixing thing called diesoft and it still does not work. What is the problem ? Check the video please :

I'm installing the game with revive file I downloaded (2,6 gb) and no missing files at all. Any other option to make an installation ?

Make sure directx 9 is installed

+1
Update the  DirectX 9.

Either that, or you should try to run BF2 directly from the installation folder (bf2.exe).

I have DX11 installed, my graphic card supports dx 10.1 or 10.2

Radeon HD 4870

my game was working fine but suddenly stopped working..

Did you installed some updates?

Dx 10/10.1/11 is the same... Without dx9 the game wont run, no matter what you do.

Have you tried to update dx using Microsoft tool?

They may work, as they may not... Some games are more sensitive than others (fallout 3 is tragedy then).

You dont have to unnistall anything, just try to install/update dx 9 ;)

You can try this too:
Go onto "my documents" > "battlefield 2" > "profiles" > delete the vídeo settings file.

Maybe try to instal from another clean release (warez + crack) and try to launch it without installing BF2 HUB or revive clients. You will see if it is a problem teh game or the installation process.

first delete everything that is related to bf2 from your PC

install it if u do....download the 1.41 pathch and 1.5 patch....
https://www.battlelog.co/downloads.php#tools (https://www.battlelog.co/downloads.php#tools)..install them and do not delete the original icon!!
download
https://www.bf2hub.com/home/ (https://www.bf2hub.com/home/)(i`m logging in with it too)..and create an account here..

this is not a problem with the your grafic resolution (the game starts and crash down if the grafic is not supported...black screen and crash)
in this case i thnk the game is missing some files when u install it  and that why it wont start...

Hello !

I was using BF2 by the install file I got from battlelog so basically it was the file I downloaded from the link you showed. I guess I am gonna get BF2 hub to try.
Title: Re: Why does my game not starting ?
Post by: lt.rey_santos on April 18, 2016, 22:13:43 PM
that 2 server or hub are different so if you played battle log,you must delete the files of bf2  battle log so you can install bf2 hub and  if you played bf2 hub you must delete all the files of bf2 hub and install battle log. so they can run...For me i used bf2 hub and every time i reformat my pc i have a v1.4 and 1.5 and the important things is i remember all my data .so i can retrieve my account and i still running through..good luck mate and we miss you all..we see you on the game..

this is not a problem with the your grafic resolution (the game starts and crash down if the grafic is not supported...black screen and crash)
in this case i thnk the game is missing some files when u install it  and that why it wont start...


ok so I uninstalled everything related to BF2 revive then I installed the original BF2 DVD with version 1.0

then installed 1.41
then installed 1.50

I opened the game and it worked till login screen.

Then I downloaded BF2 Revive small file (which can be used if you have an existing game)

I logged into my account and it asks me to update binary files. I update and then AGAIN it asks me to update, I update again and again not happens. It doesn't give me the option to play the game.

PL:US what da hell is BF2 Hub doing ? I installed that stupid thing what it does it retrieving account and patching the game, but where is the button to start the game ? So I tried starting the game as the video said (rey santos shared) it still tried to connect EA server and it failed.. pfff I am sick of this failures all the time.

Was this ever resolved? Two major things to check that are most likely causing the problem....


1. CD-KEY, delete game and profile folder in my documents. Then download this client https://battlelog.co/downloads.php# (https://battlelog.co/downloads.php#) client and install...

2. Biggest issue... video drivers have your tried start the game in another resolution??? Or refresh rate??? You can adjust these setting in the video.con file in your profile folder.

To help you further i need more details such as what happens when it crashes, do you get past the splash sceen, does the screen blink on startup, is smoke coming out of your computer?

Tried cd key change
Tried regedit
Tried dx update
Tried resolution change in con files
Tried installing it to a different computer and even revmajistix and lalibaba connected to my pc through teamviewer, problem continues.

You know what ? I am giving up. I won't play this game for a while. It messed up my all mood and enthusiasm to play the game

I have also had bunch of problems with this game. The one method that worked for me, is downloading battlelog, i had a bf2 v1.5 version installed from a torrent made by some romanian pirate named aviara. It worked for a while and then I could not log in, I would press log in and I would wait for days... So when i launched battlelog, it gave me an option to install some patches, but i chose to reinstall the game completely. It did some bf2 revive thing, then I tried to log in with battlelog launcher and same thing happens again. Then i downloaded bf2hub, installed it, made sure when i open bf2hub everything is green-working fine, you need to choose the bf2 directory and some other things. Then i made a shortcut of a regular bf2.exe from the installation folder. I run it and log in finally works like charm.
So try reinstalling with bf2 revive, then do not uninstall battlelog, just add that bf2hub thing and run via regular bf2.exe.
Also it could be a problem because the game is so old. You may have to set the processor affinity to only one core via task manager if your processor is multi core. It could also be some system issue, try installing windows 10, i thought it drinks but my PC actually boots way faster than with win 7.

it has nothing to do with the cd key but perhaps the graphic card. I am giving a break for a while and not willing to play the game anymore. Perhaps after a while when I change the graphic card I'll try to play the game.

Last time my vga card shut down with a blue screen and i guess there is something wrong with it (either its ram or its heat)

more then likely its a software issue.... Use driver cleaner to scrub the vga drivers. The  install an older version of your video drivers. You will probably be able to play bf2. Also bf2 doesnt work well with a lot of onboard video... never has.

I tired installing dx9c when I had dx11 installed but it doesn't go back. I updated the drivers but never installed old drivers. Anyways, I meesed up the dll files and need to format my win7 again. Until that time no game again..

my laptop has gt740m (i guess this is a good one)

GT740 handles BF2 nicely.
