So I just purchased and tried installing Special Forces. I already have BF2 Vanilla and Euro Forces. It didn't go smoothly because Special Forces install tries to patch to an older version (which was current when Special Forces first shipped). I was getting the "modified content" issue and other weird things.
Long story short, I couldn't find current help in the forums on this. So I uninstalled everything and started over after re-patching and some other things didn't work. Here's what worked for me.
Hope this helps!
I wouldn't recommend using the EA Downloader to download the patches listed below. Google for them instead. I found this page that has them all:
http://mirror.datafast.net.au/games/...patch/?C=M;O=A
- Uninstall everything (BF2, Special Forces, Euro Forces)
- Reboot for good measure
- Install Battlefield 2 (my boxed version was version 1.03)
- Install Special Forces (my boxed version automatically upgraded BF2 to 1.11 - let it upgrade it)
- Install 1.2 patch (full version - 366 MB)
- Install 1.21 patch (full version - 376 MB)
- Install Euro Forces
- Install 1.22 (incremental version - 10 MB)
If anyone knows of any shortcuts, let help each other out and lets keep this updated as additional patches, booster packs, etc. are released.
