DirectX Issues With Battlefield 2

[Guest]

Hello there.

I am experiencing some difficulites with the PC game Battlefield 2. I
recently bought the Deluxe version of the game, which contains the expansion
pack Special Forces.

My reason for posting here is that I have been in contact with EA Tech
Support for the last four days and to no avail. They say I have a problem
with the DX Files on my computer, and to ask Microsoft! By going into dxdiag,
and under the DX Files tab, the message at the bottom reads:

"The file d3d9d.dll is a debug version, which will run slower than the
retail version."

My inclination is that this corrupt or old file needs to be updated. I have
downloaded the latest ATI drivers for my X1800XT card, and have installed the
June 2006 DX Update. Windows XP SP2 is also fully updated.

The problem I have within the game, is when I start or join a Single or
Multi Player Game. It begins to load, but at 62% it crashes, I do not get any
warning, no black or blue screens, but I am returned to the desktop
immediately. Windows reports no errors, but the Event Viewer logs two almost
identical errors, which I can post if necessary.

Does anyone think it is the listed DX file that needs updating, or what do
you think may be causing this problem?

Thanks in adavnce for your help.

Krypton,

Yes, post the Event Viewer error logs.

Ok Drew, but each time the game crashes on me two exents are written
simultaneoulsy to the Event Viewer, under the Application log. The only
difference between them each time, apart from the code/bytes data, is the
number, which is 6 on one and 7 on the other, they refer to each other.

On second thoughts, it would be easier to post screenshots, so I have
uploaded them on my Photobucket.

Error 1 -

Error 2 -

As you will see, they are almost identical. Thanks for your reply though!
