Thumbs down Crashing to Desktop as game begins

I'm running 2k12 for months on a fairly high-octane, home-built (two years ago) gaming PC. E8400 CPU and ATI HD4850. I recently updated the ATI drivers to version 12.1.

Now, the game boots fine and demo mode works as well as performance benchmarking. However, if I start a game, I get the intro from Damon Bruce and then a crash -- a brief black screen, follow by my desktop.

I called 2k support, and they said they would e-mail me a solution, but that was hours ago. I did back off the graphics settings from within the game, turning of AA and turning crowd detail from high to medium, but the game was working fine before. I tried a quick game using Classic teams as well, with the same result.

I was really looking forward to T-Wolves-Knicks in NBA today, but no go.

Any ideas? Should I downgrade the ATI drivers to 11.8?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Crashing to Desktop as game begins

have you reinstalled? or better yet - uninstalled, cleaned your folders and then installed? if that doesn't work you may have to try rolling back to a previous ati driver.

yeah, i don't 2k is going to be much help there besides offering you general solutions like i did lol.

Have you installed any mods?

I crashed to desktop a lot until I worked out which mod was causing it...removed it and it's been fine since.

I had used the black-arm patch, and some roster and slider mods. I created a new profile, using my same 2K account, and it worked. I'll try mods one at a time, and see if I can isolate the issue.

In the meantime, I'm about to drop some knowledge on #Linsanity and close out what the T-Wolves couldn't last night.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Crashing to Desktop as game begins

when i was having that crash to desktop issue, it was because i accidentally put in 2k11 mods into 2k12, so it would load up and the crash as the game was about to start.... thats probably the same issue your experiencing
