Ok the latest update I have is that this does indeed appear to be a serverside issue with Titan Maps.

The apparent workaround for this is to only run Titan Maps for a single round, so as suspected this is not a driver specific/related issue.

May be worth loading a couple of Titan maps on the Server to prove or disprove this theory?

By the way Lammie. When the frell is EA going to take a small moment of their time to go over the leader board and take note of the over exagerated teamwork scores, at least the the top 100 whose favorite vehicle seems to be the transport helis and if its not that then it looks like they are the Jesus of ressuplies. So many blatant stat padders in the top 100 it makes EA look bad. (even if they already do! 😛 )
how about they also make some tickertape news to warn those people that their stats will beb wiped to prevent future tards.
Sorry for rantig but when I look at these leader boards and I see a teamwork score of almost 50000 and that transport heli as their fave vehicle its just so blatantly obvious and these guys are getting away with it

choose one with stats intact and check details. then look at ressuplies or heals or repair or other teamwork scores and they dont tally. Or if it aint that then theres something else fishy like the amount of times on only one particular map

Yeah the wheels at EA Customer Services turn slowly though although they have already reset over 100 accounts. The problem is that this issue is so widespread now that as quick as they reset 1 account another 10 enter the leader boards.

With the latest patch this is a thing of the past this has actually been fixed, however I’m wondering by fixing this they may have inadvertently caused the CTD’s at the end of the round. Although still not sure what is causing this problem.

I played on another Multiplay server last night running Titan and experienced no problems at all. The only thing different I have it seems from the majority is the Nvidia Driver that came with BF2 installed as all the other later drivers from Nvidia caused me problems both in BF2 and 2142.

So I actually do not understand where the root cause of the problem is. I would suspect it is client side though from all the posts I have seen over the various forums today (and there are lots of very unhappy people at the moment) is that whilst players are all being kicked from the servers at the end of round sequence on Titan, the servers are staying up, changing and loading the map rotations without any percieved issues.

I genuinely believe this is a clientside issue but not sure about the video driver route currently being explored. However time will tell over the next day or so wether this is the underlying issue or not.

In the meantime Conquest FTW!!!!

Nice one Wipers, I will try and keep everyone updated with any updates and workarounds for the patch.

For what I have been able to determine although I have had no official work yet is this

The CTD is caused by Nvidia and ATI latest drivers.

Please delete your cache in the My DocumentsBattlefield 2142mods folder and the file icontent.cache. This may help some and NVIDIA driver version 91.31 is confirmed to run with out crashing after clearing your cache. Please roll back to version 92.91

However I will try to get an official workaround today

After some conversations this evening it appears there are some issues with the newer Nvidia drivers.

I am still running the Nvidia drivers that shipped with BF2 (84.21) and have played a few rounds on titan where the round ended, and changfed without any CTD’s

What does this mean? What red diamond? Am I missing something major? 😕

When you line up a target you will see a red diamond outline above them. This is the primary Hit box and inflicts the most damage. If you are engaging from distance, right click to go to scope/zoomed view and the red diamond will appear just below the playername and health metre.

Neon your main problem is I believe, and one I certainly encountered during ‘closed testing’ is you need to adapt your play style compared to BF2. Certain weapons have quite significant deviation so to gain the most accuracy you need to go prone and aim as much as you can for the red diamond that appears above aforementioned combatant. This is the prime hit bot that inflicts the most damage whilst it is still possible to kill an infidel but hitting other areas of the body is does not cause the same degree of damage.

For the assault class weapons, they become more accurate during longer bursts which reduces deviation so a re more accurate and mid to long range but are not so good at closer ranges. Close range weapons , pistol, shotgun and the good old blade of justice should be you prefered method of inflict maxium damage.

Whilst there are a lot of fimilarites with 2142 and it is unmistakably Battlefield this one requires a little more practice and a change of playing style which can sometime be quite a steep learning curve.

Shame about the CTDs though.

Fixed in the next patch 😉
