I have a feelin' this is going to be related to either my monitor(Widescreen) or my video card(more likely). But I figured I'd post here just incase.
Ok first here's what's happening then I'll post my specs.
At first I thought my problem was Vista so I installed Windows XP Pro w/ SP2(haven't tried SP3 yet). At any rate I install the games and update them w/ the latest respective update. I then try to launch the game and it shows the splash screen, screen goes black for a few secs then blamo back to the desktop I go. So I then try to launch it windowed mode (+fullscreen 0 tag)as recommended by the support section provided by EA. I get in there but when I try to join a game in progress and it begins to optimize the textures it CTD again. So I try to launch the game again and now even in windowed mode I can't even get to the menu, black screen for a few seconds and I'm seeing my desktop again. I've tried forcing my native resolution that didn't work. I'm at my wits end w/ these titles. It's given me texture errors on launch or when trying to join games and I've tried reinstalling the patch but to no avail. And one last thing...
HELLLLLLP!!!!!
