Hello to all,
I was wondering if any others have been able to play desert combat .7 full
and/or dc final, reliably. I have been crashing to the desktop too
frequently since updating with 1.61, and 1.61b.
I have tried using pwweb.exe in my pb folder, to manually update PB prior to
each and every gaming session. That doesn't help. Crashing to desktop still
happens.
I am using a clean install of WinXP Pro, SP2, ATI Cat 4.12, DX9.0c, and all
the most up to date drivers for all components on my computer.
Fresh installs of Battlefield 1942 (I even bought a new copy on 1/3/05
because my orginal game CD actually cracked and became unreadable). I'm not
using a no-cd patch (yet).
Qs:
- Is there another component of PB in addition to using pbweb.exe that I
should download and update manually?
- Should I reinstall WinXP Pro and only update with Service Pack 1 (avoiding
SP2 altogether)?
- In Battlefield 1942's game browser, should I only be looking for and
joining games using DC Final and NOT desert combat .7?
- IF all the CTD problems are because of the 1.61x patches, can we expect a
fix anytime soon?
I have looked thru the newsgroup and various forums. Most mention pbweb.exe,
but this hasn't seemed to fix the (my) CTD problem.
Thanks much, in advance for any responses,
-S
