Very Weird Problem

[B17AD K]

Ok, I install BF2, and try to patch (full) to 1.3 from the CD version (I assume 1.0).

1/3 through the patch, I get an error and a message saying "patching failed".

The patch then says "patch complete".

If I then try to load the game, I get the lightning.fx shader error, described here (http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showt...=shader+error).

Weird thing is, I've not got SF and never owned/installed it!

So firstly, no idea why the patch is failing, and no idea why the error is coming up. I've tried downloading the 1.3 patch from 3 different places!

I checked my directory, and I have the shader folder, but its empty. I do not have a shader_client folder, so I assume this is SF only.

So does anyone know how I can get around either of these errors? The game runs fine off the CD, so Im gonna try patch to 1.22 then incremental to 1.3.

See if it gets me anywhere, any help would be appreciated as I cant play the game at the moment!

Re: Very Weird Problem

Im trying to get the patches now, but struggling.

I found one on my pc called bf2 1.01. Even that wouldnt install!!

Would it be possible for someone to post links to all incremental patches?

Im currently downloading a 280mb one for 1.12, and already downloaded a 15mb to 1.21.

Please?

On my PC at moment.

bf2patch_v_102.exe (16.3mb)
bf2_incremental_patch_1[1].2_1.21.zip (14.2mb)
BF2_Patch_112.exe (280mb)
bf2_patch_v1.30.exe (438mb)

What else do I need (and please links), and what order they go in?

Re: Very Weird Problem

Ok, still can't find them though

So does the 1.1 incremental take it from 1.0 to 1.1?

And 1.2 from 1.1 to 1.2?

I usually just always used full patches.
