anyone encounter this bug : crash to desktop when joining a server in multiplayer. Mine keep crashing to desktop without any error. Already updated drivers etc but still the same. Previously manage to play for few hours for the first time after I bought it. Then now keep having this bug. Single player works fine and I could join some servers, but most of the servers near me all CTD,eg. SALUZI, Fragnetics, MBTcentral.

Tried to reinstall but still same issue

forgot:
amd phenom2 x3 720
ati 4850
4gB ddr 3 ram
windows vista 64bit (UAC been disabled, router set to DMZ)

tested by disabling firewall, antivirus, spybot, run as admin but all the same, CTD when joining server. DirectX in settings.ini set to dx10, FOV set to default 55.

Will try to use pbsetup to re-update the pb tonight. Previously updated the wrong folder(not under appsdata folder, instead at game folder)

okies, will try to set to dx9 tonight. Currently using 1920x1200 and custom setting, all high except no AA / AF option. can play without lag in sp and mp but now keep CTD when joining MP server

yeah, i experience 100% CTD when I tried to join MP server since yesterday evening. Yesterday morning still ok because I played from 6am - 3pm (not even 1 CTD). This morning still the same, crash when joining MP server.

Weird thing is some server I joined (just for testing but the ping >200ms), I dont have any CTD when joining(however got kicked out because PB init failure, will try to update PB tonight) , but when I joined to local servers(<100ms ping), its like 100% CTD.

Thanks guys.

ya, lowest was 26 ...avg around 40-50 during fighting in single player first mission, didnt test all since i completed the single player (now all reset because i completely uninstalled). 3x reinstall can't help. Still crash to desktop zzzzzzzzzzz. I could join other server eg at europe etc >200ms ping but 1 minute later got kicked out due to PB INIT Failure . Haiz, already downloaded the pbsec, and 2 other wc something files, placed into my bc2 pb and pb\htm folder , my appsdata pb folder and run pbsetup to check for updates(already updated both appdata pb folder and pb in game folder).

still CTD when join SALUZI server, frag currently full, MBT not tested. It's weird when I can join those server far away but those server <200ms ping Saluzi,frag etc all give me CTD Now try to test on dx9, speaker 2 , low settings


finally no longer CTD when I join SALUZI server and no freaking PB INIT failure. Need to check what I changed, currently on speaker setup 2 and dx9 . Most probably suspect is directx mode as changing to speaker 2 doesnt help until I change to dx9 (also restarted my comp)

yeah, just manage to try just now, just come back from work. thanks zen , hmmm oh well stay with dx9 awhile then before next patch is out.

try to force it to dx9 in your settings.ini . Had the same problem as you, and changing to dx9 works for me.

Only bad thing is that sometimes when you change camera...the graphic flickers not sure is it dx9 or because I change the FOV to 75
