Thread: Loading Bi Ming as first map joined = Crash to Desktop

This was a bug in the public beta, and appears to still be around now (at least for me). There was a previous thread about, but I've now encountered it a couple of times and can verify it's still around.

The bug is client-side. If you load up PR, and try to join a server that is running Bi Ming, you'll crash to desktop (BF2 quits).

Here's the official PR quote about it:
"Quick fix that works for many people here. Open PR, when you want to join a server running Bi Minge, instead join a server not running Bi Ming and load to 100% then click join, then disconnect and try to join the Bi Minge server. Works virtually all the time.

This bug seems to affect initial loading of a server running Bi Ming, not sure if it effects those in the server when it goes to Bi Minge in rotation."

Thanks for the info. I am having this same issue with this map.

You are correct in your statement to the T...... there is another way to join the Bi Ming map, and that is like you were not sure of and that is too, Be on the server when the map, Rolls into it, That will take you in everytime....

Most are able to join the server if the Map is allready playing, but there is still a few that have to go through the process...... Once you have went through the process some, You will be like everybody else, that can just Connect to the map, at any time.

Excellent info, Woof.

Ill try it right away, i have the same CTD problem loading Bi Ming

Hello L4D forum users,

I just bought this game a few days ago, but i got a problem when i get into the game. My mouse start beeing like a "elastic" it got slow reaction and so on. It's really hard to aim with, and just annoying. Currently im using a G9 logitech mouse, i though it was because of the DPI system. But i tried several mices also a mouse without the DPI speed system it's still the same problem, i tryed to go from 1200x1024 down to 800x600 and it seems like it helped alot but still a litle delay. Another got some experience about this soloution? (sorry for my bad english)

please help me out
Joachim D.
