BF2 1.3 -> SF 1.1 patching to 1.3? HELP!

[NiteCyper]

All right, y'see my problem is that I have BF2 1.3 and I've let my SF sit around being uninstalled for a while after some crap and whatever. So, yesterday I installs it n' it's on patch 1.1 apparently. Is it necessary to download the full 1.3 patch to update SF? Will it interfere with BF2 1.3? Also, what do the air-strike binoculars do? I tested them using the unlocks mod and I don't think they do anything in Vanilla or I wasn't pressing a button long enough. This also leads me to wonder if I should test BF2142... Yeah, pretty off-topic but-meh wth.

when you installed SF your bf2 install was changed back to 1.1. you need to reinstall the 1.3 patch. I recommend installing the full 1.3 patch as this will avoid the 1.3 upgrade shader error.

I dont think the binocs do anything, they were taken out of the game.

Well, if I go to the in-game menu and look at custom games, it will say BF2 1.3, Unlocks mod 1.3, SF Unlocks mod 1.3 and XPACK 1.1 does that STILL mean my vanilla reverted back to 1.1?

good question, I've never noticed that in the custom games menu. to verify, once you install SF, load up vanilla bf2 and check its version number. then you'll know for sure.

1.1.2552-344.0 = version 1.1
1.1.2878-710.0 = version 1.3

Vanilla BF2 has v1.1.2878-710.0, pid: 2172 I can't start SF because I'm missing lighting.fx

I recommend installing the full 1.3 patch as this will avoid the 1.3 upgrade shader error.
