Hello forum, having a slight problem that other threads have failed to answer, so i'm starting a fresh one, in more detail.

I double click my BF:BC2 icon in steam, its load for approx 6 seconds, goes to a small white box in the top left hand corner of my screen for about 6 seconds, then closes to desktop, along with the task & process.

I've been playing the game all of yesterday, and this problem never occured, nor did i do anything to provoke the error... any ideas/suggestions?
I've tried running through shortcuts, no resolve.

Any feedback is appreciated, thanks in advance.

(if i resolve the problem, i'll be sure to post how to fix it... for others who may have this problem)

NEWS! For the steam version, go into your account setting and select to participate in the steam beta client. This worked for me. Hope it works for you

Fixed & many thanks friend.

if you manually set your resolution to an un-supported resolution, it can cause this problem too.

Changing it to use directx 9 didn't work for me, but after just deleting the 3 files in the my documents folder for it it worked.
