Many of these problems to do with specific versions of one updated DX9 library file can often be solved by removing and reinstalling the game, as discussed in other topics, during the setup if you are asked if you want to install or update DX9 (even if we know Vista has DX10) agree to it, the particular file causing this common problem seems to be the August 2006 version of the d3dx9_XX.dll file currently different games use versions from (where xx is ) 24 to 32 inc. so the error message is really non specific but installing the DX9 version that comes on the game disk usually in the 'resdist' directory should fix the problem, it will only replace any missing or corrupt files not overwrite any others.

ATI cards are the main culprit for this but Nvidia do have the same problem sometimes, if you can find the correct file on the game DVD, probably in a 'cab' file just drop it into the \windows\system32\ folder and that's it.

Hello,

I used to have BF2142 Memory.dll error, when I'm trying to load new Titan Map. I used to have my game video set to high, and every time I’m trying to load new map, i got crashed to the desktop with the annoying error.

Solution,

I have set my video setting to medium, and i have been playing for long 6 hours with no single problem and i have loaded more than 5 maps. So, if you have the problem checks your video setting.

goodluck with that

OldFox nice try running BF2 with intergrated GFx card. I would've hugged you if it worked. Btw a good cheap graphics card is the ATI X1650 Pro 512 mb RAM bought mine for 150 USD and am very happy with it can run Oblivion on high.

PS i live in a not so computer advanced country so the prices of components are higher here.

I had problems with 2142.. it would crash after a round of titan mode? I still get the error.. Using a 7800 GT card. I think it has something to do with RendDx9.dll file in the battlefield 2142 folder. If you could send me your Renddx9.dll file and see if your works, that would be great. I've heard some people doing that and it worked. I've reinstalled and everything my battlefield 2142. I dunno what else to do? Also Have a creative xfi sound card. EVen ran that on software mode and also deleted the cache folder and profile. So... anyone with 2142 and running vista could send me your renddx9.dll file. That would be great and see if that resolves the issue at all.

Not a very good set-up

Pentium 4 - 3GHz

Intel (R) 82945G Express Chip Controler O ( Microsoft Corporation - WDDM )

Which i'm thinking of changing to Nvidia ?

1 G Ram

I've tried all of the above and BF2 still doesn't start-up ?

All i get is the BF2 picture at start - the screen goes blank as if the game is starting up and then nothing ?

Any ideas , while i wait for a reply i'll be trying BlackHawk Down and Joint Operations by NovaLogic .

Cheers OldFox.

Also had problems with online play being jerky. (where BF2142 is smooth as glass)
Rectified problem by running BF2 in XP Sp2 mode

Running Core 2 Duo
Nvidia 7850 GX2
2 Gig Ram
