Hi everyone
I'm facing a problem with bf2 hard justice, I installed v 1.3 and on startup the screen look grey and options are appearing as "botton 1, 2, 3 ... Etc" and on loading the maps it stops on 14% (object loading) then with no warning or error it stops and I found myself facing the desktop.

I used to play it on Windows Xp and everything were ok, but now I'm using Windows 10
I'd appreciate any help or idea
Thanks
