I'm sorry for adding another damn patch thread but I looked and this isnt' in the others. my games are installed on my F: drive and when I try to install my patch it asks me for my launguage, I click next and then it starts to do the wizard but then says "can't find the install folder for Battlefield2". now that wouldn't be a problem on any other game but EA/Dice are smart enough that they don't give you a choice of what drive your game is installed on. real smart. has anyone ran into this problem?

You can install the patch from anywhere you like...I installed the patch directly from my 'D:\Downloads\Battlefield 2' directory but that shouldn't have made a difference...
I'd recommend re-installing BF2 and then applying the full v1.4 patch.

it figures. thanks everyone. I think I'll switch to another game before I go through the trouble of reinstalling the entire program just to have the same problems I had before, since it hasn't seemed to fix anything.

As long as the game is in the same folder it was originally installed in and you haven't modified your registry then the patch should find it regardless of where the patch file is or where the game is installed. All the patches have worked fine for me with the game in E:\Games\BF2.

there is a thread somewhere for troubles of the 1.3 patch with the same problems it doesnt need an enitre new install, just a bit of registry editing,
Start > Run > HKEY_Local_Machine > Software > EA Games > Battlefield 2 , Create a New String Value called InstallDir , Right Click on it and modify, add your current BF2 install path,, (i think thats right doing it from memory)
