Trace works fine.. Can you try playing in windowed mode. Looks like a weird setup issue on your end.

[NerosTie]

Yes, it doesn't crash in windowed mode.
But I have no issue with fullscreen mode with d3d9. What does it mean?

@NerosTie

This is a very well known and long standing issue with BF2:

info:  D3D9: Setting display mode: 800x600@85
err:   D3D9: EnterFullscreenMode: Failed to change display mode

The game attempts to a display mode 800x600 85Hz, which very few displays support. This can be worked around by applying a patch to Wine to allow setting a fallback display frequency.

[NerosTie]

I see. But it doesn't crash with d3d9, so why a patch for Wine?

[misyltoad]

Can you try this patch?
