Here is the file that fixes the crash when you minimize if you had removed the intro movies

it only adds one movie that you can click past

 

but now you can minimize

Thanks for the head up KFA.

Egidio.

I've never had any minimizing problems with BF2 or 2142. I don't have any of my intro movies to 2142 either, it goes straight to my log in screen with no problem. Nice helpful info for others though.

Yes, thanks. I removed the movies before but had the crash and now they are back in. I don't care if I watch a few splash screens and then can ESC the movie.

And maybe remember to turn off that 2nd heat generating video card when you don't need it ? :thumbsup: I turned off my 2nd card and get much lower cpu and mobo temps for general purpose long on times. Those fan-less piped heat coolers add to strain of cpu and mobo heat dissiaption it seems in mine which yours is same as.

how do you turn off the intro movies?

you can del or change the ending of the files in the movie folder
