1- Try first to restart your computer

2- uninstall any mods.

3- If this doesn't help reinstall SWBF2

Did you recently upgrade?
Are you using an AMD multi core processor?

I'm running an AMD processor and had a similar problem. I found thta I have to do a cntrl alt del before hitting start game. Now hit start game, look under processes for battlefront.exe, right click, select affinity, un-select cpu1. This must be done rather quickly so have the task manager close to the game start-up sceen and I like to have the processes listed by mem usage highest to lowest. I'm pretty sure this problem only happens with an AMD processor though so I hope you know what you are running before you try this. If anyone else knows any other problems I hope they chime in as well.

This can be fixed easier by downloading this http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/dynamic ... ItemID=153

Not sure if this is an AMD graphics program, it's hard to tell from the support page, but I am referring to my processor not my graphics card. Your link doesn't show the info for the program, and actually when I click on download it doesn't even let me do that. I see something on the support page for a Catalyst program but from what I read it seems to be for graphics. All I really care though is that I can play with my method whether it's the best way or not ;)

I used to have to do what you said, assign it to one core or it would close, that dual/multi core process optimizer fixes that. It's for AMD dual/multi core processors.
