      Re: Error message

      I'm suffering from the same problem after installing patch 1.4. Tried full reinstall which worked....temporarily. Problem back now though.

      As a work around, try starting from the dvd rather than the desktop icon. That works for me.

      There's a guide somewhere to uninstalling everything and making sure your pc is completely bf2 clean before attempting to reinstall. I would try and find this guide and go through it and then reinstall in the very specific order mentioned somehere else on this forum ( I think its BF2 > patch 1.4 > SF2 > Patch 1.4 again, with a reboot inbetween each step, though can't be sure). Thats my plan when I have more time.

          If you get the "syncronize shaders/lighting.fx not found" issue, then you'll need to copy the following files:

          Copy all of the files from:
          C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\shaders_client
          to:
          C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\shaders

          and

          Copy all of the files from:
          C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\xpack\shaders_client
          to:
          C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\xpack\shaders

          After you have copied the files, install the FULL 1.4 patch, as the SF install will remain at version 1.1, even though your vanilla BF2 will be up to date. This will prevent you from receiving a modded map error when you try to load one of the SF maps.
          from old post might help
