Guys how do i fix the freeze/white screen of death? First i thought it was the video card over heating but i up the fan@50% and again i got the white screen...

Various things others claim fixed their WSOD issues:

  • Force DX9 in settings.ini
  • start > control panel > system > advanced > performance settings > make sure "Enable desktop composition" is ticked -or- turn on "Adjust for best appearance"
  • Test memory for errors - replace if necessary
  • If you are extending your desktop across two screens, turn this off
  • Update to the latest video card drivers

I've tried all of these. none have worked. Switching to DX9 may even introduce new errors as DICE has mentioned in patch notes that they are fixing DX9 specific crashes and errors.

Kinda kills the whole "Eyefinity-friendly" idea there, doesn't it.

Currently facing CTD in Eyefinity, single monitor is perfectly fine.

WSOD fixed in my case, by lowering VGA ram clocks. Turns out a couple of other apps were also having issues with those ram clocks(stock clocks, BTW), but it was so random, it was hard to place blame to the VGA. Took many hours of testing to pinpoint that one.

Audio cards causing CTD seems common too....sometimes I lose the right channel. System in question has no overclock, ram running JEDEC specs, drivers and such are all up-to-date.


Currently trying to see if I can "force" these issues to manifest themselves, and I am having a bit of luck, but CTD and audio issues I am not so lucky with. For all I know, maybe monitoring tools are playing havoc with punkbuster...


RMA with XFX took 7 weeks, replacement card still isn't here, so I've yet to fully test if Crossfire has any effect on these issues.


Still enjoying the game though...I'd like to see a patch or two more, and then I;d muc hrather have them work on a whole new title in the francise, rather than getting more maps. These maps seem to have ALOT of thought put behind them, but I want more night-time gunplay!

yeah but it'll at least change the whining...god, back in my day games didnt get patches... if they were buggy, you were just fucked.

oh wait thats still how it is, at least these guys are MAKING SURE THE PATCHES WORK.

I just thanked almost all your posts on the last page, everything you said is just about dead on how I feel. So what, the game has some minor issues, it's still a ton of fun, I don't play games to find issues, seems to many attempt to find everything wrong they can. My movie and game philosophy is like that, do I enjoy it? Yes or No? If yes then it's yes, don't matter if the story fit or any other crap, if it entertained me then it simply entertained me.

I lack any form of self control when a game comes out that I actually want to play. I am not like Digibuc or anyone else who can own 100 games and play 1 walk away then play another one and come back later eventually if they want to. Once I have beat a game or played one to death…that’s it…I never come back and play again.

I get like that, but then I burn out, and you burnt out, but that isn't the games fault, you got a ton of time out of it and now you don't want to play anymore, that doesn't make it a bad game, just makes it a game that you got enough enjoyment out of. People burn out of everything if done enough, no matter how good it is, if you are hooked enough to put in hours a day and enjoy it, then it has to have some real strong redeeming qualities. I play a lot and I'm still only like 1/3 of your playtime.

Apparently they are releasing new maps for PC after the update. Word on the street is 6 new ones. ;)

Word on the street? If you add up all the map packs released so far, you get 6. Map pack 3 from your link is just two new ones.

I just wish they would have hotfixed the knife as soon as they discovered it, thats my biggest gripe, well that, and the not getting points when dead-bug, other than that, it's an excellent game. It's just a bit annoying not being able to stab people in the back :)

And they should hire a PR-guy or something to get them to stop pissing off the community all the time. First the patch-date and then the Mk14 sight-ordeal. Not that I get why people make such a big fuss over it in the first place, it's just a bloody sight... right? :)

If DICE were to do a Bad Company 1 map pack for Bad Company 2, what maps would you like to see?

does look nice. like a revamped Exteel. I may have to pick hat up.

yeah that's one reason i am wary of this new transformers game...exteel was not good.

I get like that, but then I burn out, and you burnt out, but that isn't the games fault, you got a ton of time out of it and now you don't want to play anymore, that doesn't make it a bad game, just makes it a game that you got enough enjoyment out of.

I play a lot and I'm still only like 1/3 of your playtime.

I'm just burnt out...not putting the game down...if it really was bad I wouldn't have played it for more than 2 hours total. I got my monies worth...and then some!

Sounds like they just want some site traffic. Or, to turn the conversation away from the PC patch, or console lag. They already know in excruciating detail what the favorite maps from BC1 are.

sharqi peninsula would be a great addition to BC2. its not too big overall & its perfect for conquest!! though id probably get a really bad case of nostalgia & wonder where the other 32 players went (since you cant have 64 players in BC2)

I wouldn't mind seeing some 1942 DC maps. But most of you have all played all the PC maps, I don't think many here played BC1 and it was a great game.

I'm just burnt out...not putting the game down...if it really was bad I wouldn't have played it for more than 2 hours total. I got my monies worth...and then some!

Glad to hear you feel you got your monies worth, and sucks not having you play, always nice to have a good squad, lots of people just seem lost in this game.

I rather not add on maps some of us have been playing for 3 games. If they add Wake Island by user request I will quite playing.

Wake Island is an all time favorite, I'm glad I bought 1943 for PS3 just for that map, always a lot of fun. But with newer weapons I'm not sure how well it would scale.
