Official Hotfix for ALT+TAB CTD issue on 1.5

[Snazz]

EDIT: Now available on GoN - http://games.on.net/file/29364/Battlefield_2_v1.50_-_Alt-Tab_Fix

A large number of players who have installed 1.50 have been unable to use ALT+TAB without the game crashing out to Windows desktop. As such and with thanks to nea_alecu doing some investigations, our programmers have come up with a fix.



Quote:

* Download the attached file
* Extract it into your Battlefield 2 install directory (you must have v1.50 installed already)
* When prompted accept that you want to over write the existing file
* In My Documents go to Battlefield 2\mods\bf2 and delete the cache directory
* Run BF2 as normal

We are also working on a full installer which will be the 2Gb file for those who are new to Battlefield 2 v1.50. This will replace existing files once ready and I will post here when that is released. In the mean time use the 1.50 patch install and replace RendDX9.dll with the file you can download here:

The md5 of the zip file is: 7a2b2476b5e23332da260481c1930191

Is this in SP or MP I haven't had any probs Alt Tabbing?

[Snazz]

^ Both I presume.

It was apparently related to AA settings.

Ah ok

[Meimidget690]

well at least the issue has been resolved, that is the main thing.
