thanks again

This could also happen because of certain maps. I've had it happen when loading into Jundland Wastes and there's an easy fix: wait for a while (~10 secs) becore hitting deploy.

Also, the crash can happen if you're loading into a server with an older version of the mod or if it's running a map you don't have (unlikely.)

I had this problem (CTD when pressing deploy button) on windows vista 32.

I fixed it by running pbsetup (updating punkbuster).

I downloaded pbsetup from the punkbuster website, then selected 2142 in the list it gives you, and pressed add game. Then selected 2142 and pressed update.

It stopped the CTD on deploy problem and let me join the servers.

Two issues.

1) There is no space between + widescreen 1, so it should be +widescreen 1

2) If you enter +widescreen 1 then you can't enter a second resolution.

My advice would be to just enter the resolution, as the +widescreen thing will not give you access to a resolution that high.

So, to fix your problem and give you a good resolution, just enter +szx 1920 +szy 1080 in your arguments box.

You sure there's a 'space' between '+' and 'widescreen 1'? That could maybe cause the problem. Just put "+widescreen 1" in the arguments and then you can select a widescreen resolution in the game options.
