BF2 Crashes on map load?

[nath]

Grargh. As it says in the topic - pain in the bloody arse. Not every time, but say 1 in 4 map loads will result in it crashing to desktop.

Absolutely infuriating - is there anything to sort this or is it just BF2's wonderful coding at work?

I get the same problem ever since patch 1.3. But even then, I have a friend who has had this problem before 1.3 as well. Usually doing a clean install with the full patch fixes it, incremental patches seem to mess everything up (I cant even search for servers )

I just did a clean install on a new PC and it's doing this.
