[dshiznit89]

Patch with 1.41 and your problems will be solved.

Yep, SF will put your game back to the original one therefore needing a repatch.

You will have the same problem after installing the booster packs.

I get this error when i try to apply the 1.41 patch.I downloaded it twice from diffrent sites just to be sure.I had a similar problem with the 1.3 patch that i was never able to fix.

I want to try some mods for singleplayer.My question is will any mods work on the retail version?I d/l allied intent and it says I need the 1.3 patch?

Re: mods/bf2/shaders/lightning.fx not found

I was having the same problem as you guys even after the patching. all you need to do is replace that file. the file lightning.fx can be found at

C:\Games\EA Games\BF2\mods\xpack\Shaders_client.zip

asuming you have the game installed on your C:\ drive
just go to that dir in explorer and copy the lightning.fx file and past it into the missing dir (mods/bf2/shaders) if this is to complicated post and i can give further instructions.
