So my problem is. When I'm about to launch BC2 a window pops up like usual saying "preparing to launch Battlefield: Bad company 2..." But after that another window pops up saying Battlefield: Bad company 2 failed to start (erorr code 51).

I have no idea how to work this out, so I'm asking you guys.
Thank you in advance!
 
E A issued a warning that beta might play up they recommend that any problems to uninstall then re-install game.
 
What DOORMAN said, but otherwise I'd suggest posting in the Tech-Help forum so people more qualified to answer your question know of it :)
 
actually i looked up valve error 51 seems to happen for a lot of reason but two things you can try is right clicking the desktop icon of the game and selecting "run as administrator" if that doesn't work go through the files and fine the .exe and do the same.

if that doesn't work i also found it can happen if a virus scan or security software is running and blocking it
 
My specs are fine. The game have worked just superb until now so I don't think it's because of my specs. Anyway, I'll try all of your advices. Thank you!
I'll keep in touch!
 
Everything is working again. Just launched BC2 as usaul and it all worked fine. Guess it worked it out by itself. Cya in-game :D
