Well if your like me, then your game crashes after every time you click connect to a server. Well if you have an X-FI card, there's your problem. NOTE: it is very important to do it in this order
1. First of all, if you have vista, navigate to control panel-Hardware and sound-View hardware and devices. You can get here with XP/Classicview, but im not sure how becuase i run vista
2. Go down to sound, video and game controllers and open that.
3. Disable Creative SB X-Fi (a box may pop up, just click OK) keep the Device manager window open
4. Start up BF2142, and go to audio settings
5. Go to audio renderer and select Creative X-Fi
6. Alt tab, and reenable your Creative SB X-Fi driver
7. You should be set to play the game now
Note: I believe that steps 5 and 6 may be interchangeable with each other
Note: This may also work for BF2, but is not yet tested
Tioga went out of his way to help, good job.
However EA has great customer support and FAQ list where you could have found this information by looking up the error.
Those darn X-fi cards. Seems like they cause a lot of conflicts. They are great when they work but sheesh. I wish I would have went with an ASUS Xonar instead. I can't recall one conflict with a xonar.
