    Hi folks, im having a weird issue with BC2.
    First of all i started having an issue where i join a server then select a squad etc, when i try to spawn the game just hangs for up to 10 seconds with a sound loop and then i spawn.
    This happens over and over again when i try to spawn,ie a 10 second wait before i spawn.
    No its not the spawn timer ingame,when that is at zero and i click spawn the game hangs as i explained.
    Once i get to spawn the game plays fine,its just the transition from the spawn screen to play where im having a problem.


    To make matters worse soon after when i try join the game it said files are corrupt and to reinstall.
    Ive now reinstalled the game 4 times but have the same issue.
    I thought id reinstall the latest drivers but the problem remains.

    The driver issue was a long shot as ive been playing weeks without a problem.
    I have two versions of the game, i have it on steam and also from EA store.
    BOTH version suffer the same issue after a few reinstalls.

    Im not sure if its connected but recently ive been having explorer crashes.
    After much research on the net i was lead to believe this was caused by firefox,im now using Opera to see what the story is.
    As i say im not sure if its connected but just thought id mention it.

    Its worth mentioning ALL other games are working fine, both online and offline.

    Anyone else having a similar issue?
    Thanks for reading guys.

    Im not getting a problem like that at all... But since i've installed the latest nvidia display drivers I cant exit the game. Click exit and it just freezes have to end it in task manager.

    Maybe try some older drivers. Just a guess really...

    After spending most of the day trying everything i decided to reinstall windows.
    All working fine now, id love to know what it was though.

    Could it be a virus?

    Do you have a windows update recently? I is deffo a conflict with software or hardware.

    Glad its working now...I had this with 2142 the dreaded loading screen error, was the only one in my old clan and I re installed the lot....keep an eye on it so it does not happen again.

    Sounds like it may have been a WIndows problem, or even a driver / HDD / ram / CPU issue.

    Anything overclocked?

    BF games have nearly always been fairly sensitive to system instabilities.

    Hopefully its sorted now for you.
