Windows 7 Crash - DirectX Related?
Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2010 10:19 pm
Hello everyone.
I got Windows 7 a little while ago, and never really played Battlefront II since then. Recently I reinstalled it and updated to 1.3 Unofficial. I tried to play a few mod maps, and I would press the Launch button from the map screen and then it would crash the game. It wouldn't even start loading. Just one second of black screen and then it cut to the desktop. I have tried reinstalling and playing on all of the different updates, and even playing the shipped levels crashes it.
A piece of info which might be helpful is this: When I run Battlefront II from the launcher or the Start Menu it tells me I have to update my DirectX, and gives me the old DX9 installer. This is a problem, as I have DirectX 11. Then when the DX9 installer quits it won't let me run BF2. I have been running it in Safe Mode because otherwise it won't open. HELP!!!!
