[xDerekx]

So I start up the game and it's fine then i got to start the SP game and it goes into the waking up on hill 30 thing, the little narrative happens i get up start shooting and... my system randomly reboots, I've tried re-installing it and I still dont fix it, the game just stops and computer reboots, this is a purchased copy, if anyone can help me that would be awesome
I have a Cicero with xp
radeon 9000 series graphics card,
512 MB of RAM
16X DVD-RW
Pentium 4
my sound card says direct x 8.0 or better
PLZ Help!!!

I get the same thing, only on exit. I play the game, works fine.
However, when I exit the game, an error message pops up and my computer restarts. I've tried installing/uninstalling/reinstalling, nothing works. Please Help!

Derek update to Directx 9.0c

Bush try this man.

right click on "my computer"
go to "properties"
click on the "advanced" tab
under the title "start and recovery" click on "settings"
under "system start up" click "edit"
a notepad with text should appear
it should say something like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)part ition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /noexecute=OptIn

Change the "/noexecute=Optin" switch to "/execute=Optin"

Just delete "No" then save as...and over write the file. Turn off your computer and reboot. Try to run the game...if it doesnt fix it...go back and add the "no".

Warning: If your not careful this could completely Hose your windows install...leaving you no option other than to format and reinstall the OS. I am not responsible for you hosing your system.

Go into the C:/programs/ubisoft/brothersinarms/system folder (or whereever you installed it)

Find the bia.ini file, now open it up and do a search for:

[D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]

Under that should be lots of settings, find the one named:

UseHardwareTL=True
and change it to:
UseHardwareTL=False

Save the file, now right click on the bia.ini, properties and write protect it > very important as otherwise the setting will be written over upon load.

Now simply start the game in the normal way, and fingers crossed no more BSODs or random reboots.

/Edit

And if this works, let us know as I believe this could be a fix for all Radeon R200 line cards. At least until Ubisoft or ATI do something about the conflict.

alright man thx trotter
i've only tried once but it's worked so far
thx, I owe you.

This worked for me!!! However my characters now dont have camouflage on their helmets. The helmets are now made up of the characters faces, can anyone help fix this, its looks freaky.

That does sound very freaky! What graphics card do you have? If its a Radeon 9200/9000 or 8500 try updating to the latest driver see if that helps.
