BF2 Modtools Crashing [Solved]

[mrcluster]

I haven't been able to find any information on this, surprisingly, but for some reason my BF2 ModTools crashes whenever I load a map. In the past, when I modded on my computer before an update killed its hard drive, I was able to successfully use it and load/play maps, but suddenly it just stopped working once I downloaded it now. How can I fix this? It's a big issue since I'd be able to find what's making my custom sounds crash my map if I was able to run it. Here's the Bfront2.log:

Sounds like it might be the sound bug.

Are you able to play any stock maps? Try disabling sound by going into the Audio Options and setting "Mixer" to "Disabled".

If it works after doing that, go ahead re-enable it and then either a) enable Stereo Mix/What U Hear/etc. in your Recording devices in Windows, or b) plug a mic (or even a pair of headphones) into your computer's mic jack.

Ah, thanks! Yeah, it seems setting the mixer to "disabled" allows it to run now. Enabling "Stereo Mix" allows me to let the sound play and also run maps; everything's fixed!

Perhaps this bug should be documented somewhere; I haven't seen anything on it before.

Perhaps this bug should be documented somewhere; I haven't seen anything on it before.

It's documented quite thoroughly with over a decade of information, but it's probably just a little difficult to *find* said information.
