Okay, I just finished 5 hours of gameplay with no CTDs. I'm not saying this IS a fix, hence why I'm posting here, to see if this may work for everyone else and get more people giving it a go.
I may be a bit verbose, however, I think it's worth it. This involves messing around with your DirectX files a bit, but, very minor impact.
Rig:
Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ (Intel X48 chipset)
Intel QuadCore 9450
2 Nividia 560Ti's in SLI (Using 1.5 SLI hack)
Nvidia Drivers 275.33
TH2GO DE
Resolution: 5040x1050
Forcing DX9 in BFBC2
Windows 7 ultimate 64bit
BFBC2 latest version (Steam Installed)
BFBC2 settings.ini (Note the DXVersion is forced to 9):
[WindowSettings]
Fullscreen=true
Width=5040
Height=1050
RefreshRate=59
VSync=false
[Sound]
Quality=high
VoipEnable=false
SpeakerCount=5
[Graphics]
Effects=high
Soldiers=high
Vehicles=high
Overgrowth=high
Undergrowth=high
StaticObjects=high
Terrain=high
Shadows=high
Bloom=true
HSAO=true
MSAA=0
Water=high
MainQuality=custom
Texture=high
DxVersion=9
Aniso=4
Detail=high
RenderAheadLimit=1
Fov=65
Okay, I was looking around my BFBC2 folder and noticed some DirectX files in the install directory:
D3DX9_42.dll
D3DCompiler_42.dll
(more files for D3DX10 and D3DX11 as applicable for the DirectX version you are running)
I said, hmmm, that's odd, why are there DirectX files in the install directory, it should be referring to my system's DX install....hhhmmm. So, I removed all the .dll files to a subdirectory called "oldDX" except for binkw32.dll, this is needed for the BINK video portions of the game.
Ran the game, all is still good. I stopped and pondered for a moment and thought, why would the game be calling a specific version of a DX library, I thought it should be using the latest....hhhmmm.
So, I went to my DirectX install directory:
C:WindowsSysWOW64
and sure enough, found the following files with a 9/4/2009 date:
D3DX9_42.dll
D3DCompiler_42.dll
d3dcsx_42.dll
I said to myself, gee I wonder. So I renamed those files by putting an "old" at the end:
D3DX9_42_old.dll
D3DCompiler_42_old.dll
d3dcsx_42_OLD.dll
Tried to run the game, it wouldn't launch. Aha, I said to myself, the game is calling a specific DirectX library, an older library that is.
Since my DirectX has the latest (June I think), there is a later DirectX library, these files have a 5/26/2010 date, those are:
D3DCompiler_43.dll
d3dcsx_43.dll
D3DX9_43.dll
NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU RENAME YOUR ORIGINAL _42 files so you don't overwrite them. BE SURE TO RENAME THEM, DON"T COME BACK HERE COMPLAINING YOU OVERWROTE THEM, I WARNED YOU
I went ahead and made a copy of those three files and renamed them to the "_42" library so BFBC2 would pick them up:
Copy_of_D3DCompiler_43.dll renamed to D3DCompiler_42.dll
Copy_of_d3dcsx_43.dll renamed to d3dcsx_42.dll
Copy_of_D3DX9_43.dll renamed to D3DX9_42.dll
Now, BFBC2 will link to the _42 library, however, it's actually running the _43 library, just renamed to _42.
Launched the game, and played for 5 hours with no CTD. THIS ISN"T EXHAUSTIVELY TESTED, I"M NOT GUARANTEEING ANYTHING. However, I played for 5 hours straight, no CTD, so I offer this workaround to everyone else to hammer it more. If it works, great, if not, well, I tried.
If you want to try the same fix for DX10 or DX11, the same files exist, just with a DX10 or DX11 name change. Just do the same thing. I don't use DX10 or DX11 because it causes some scaling issues in game, DX9 works just fine for me.
If you do try this, be sure to post your results.
Hi cinoaz,
d3dx9_42.dll
It is because you will be missing written documents.
Step 1. You may acquire http://www.d3dx9.net/download-missing-d3dx9_42-dll/ listed here.
Step 2. Substance that submit for your system32 in addition to process directory. Additionally place it with your syswow
Step 3. Browse through in your System32(32Bit OS) or maybe SyWOW64(64Bit The gw990) Directory.
Note: The venue with System32 or perhaps SyWOW64 is
C:WindowsSystem32 (If you work with 32Bit Windows 7)
C:WindowsSysWOW64 (if you are using 64Bit House windows)
Step 4.Paste your d3dx9_42.dll in to that directory.
Step 5.Manage the action. It would deliver the results at this moment.
