guys, after i made the update of BC2 and also the graphic drivers update too including sound card my games keep shutting down. Only the Games shut down and all of them including COD4 n WAW..

Any idea's, i have tried a system restore, no difference, uninstalled all graphics drivers and reinstalled them to no effect...

Help !

[A TIN OF STONE]

well wouldnt of thought it would be ur graffix drivers but i know some sound devices can cause grief in bc2

[IceKing]

im on to EA just now , apparently the new update is the problem, too many people have the same problem since yesterday.

[IceKing]

well, i am having the same problem with all my games now... COD4 .. WAW and BC2 . SO ITS EITHER A GRAPHICS driver issue or it wont get thro online mode.

[IceKing]

Right guys , i have wiped out my hard drive then done a new reinstall of WIN 7 into it. Reinstalled my game BFBC2 updated all my drivers and yet i still get BOOTED from game to Desktop... i have no bloody idea why it i dont exactly have teh right temperment to play about with it any longer... i only use the computer for gaming so if i dont get it fixed withing the week , i will physically smash the computer to fuck.. had enough...

What settings are you trying to run your game ,which graphix card drivers are you running at the moment .Have you done any other updates at the time the problems started

[IceKing]

i was running in max settings before for 3 years no probs, but did the new update for Nvidia . i think it was 197.65 which is not i believe compatable for the card im using and must have damaged it somehow..

[IceKing]

nvidia 9600gt

What version directX do use in your settings.ini?
)You can find the file at your documents in the BFBC2 map)

I had the same problem, after changing it to DxVersion=9 the problem was fixed.

Have you tryied the option "Run this program as an admin" :1 (66): , you can try it.

[IceKing]

yeah, the uav is turned off, but i did try it anyway and still problems. nothing i have done other than try another card has helped... going to ask a friend to borrow his card to try see if there a problem.

[A TIN OF RED]

have you tried uninstalling BC2 and playing something else, to see if the problem goes away ?

Sounds like an issue I was having until RED mentioned a change in my broadband settings, change the uPnP, if its on turn it off, if its off turn it on.

Haven't got a clue what its all about but it worked for me , and I think I was having very similar issues.

[IceKing]

it is this way with all my games, COD4 WAW and BC2... Im gonna try the upnp settings now in my router...

It was turned off so now i have turned it on to see what happens, going to reboot router, back in a mo

[A TIN OF COMPO]

That's the last of him we'll see!:w:

[IceKing]

Maybe check if the fan of your Graphics card is still working?

[IceKing]

its defo my graphics card, reinstalled windows as i said and the game too re ran the game in hi speck and i could see the graphics in game flickering all over the place, pixels etc all distorted and in wrong place... I shall need to do a shop soon... gotta save i fink. GFX 250

well if its ur graffix card how come the games play ok in single player unless all the extra action from online play is causing it to overheat,,try running a temprature program to see what temps are being reached

right i done a hwmonitor watch and in idle it is 40 to 48c but playing game goes from 60 highest i saw was 78c so i turned the fan on the card from 40% to 60% seems i can play a little longer..

[A TIN OF SALAMI]

How long do you have that graphics card and how dusty is it? maybe cleaning the fan and cooler is an option?

[IceKing]

okay guys n gals , i resolved the issue without having to upgrade my card altho i will need to soon and i reinstalled WIN7 so i got nothing left .. it was my bios.. the graphics setting was on extreme instead of Auto settings , and its not compatable with my card type.. when i changed it to auto all is well.
So if anyone keeps getting Booted from game to Desktop.. try looking at the graphics setting in your motherboard bios.
Thanks for helping out guys i really needed it...
