    Patch giving 'not enough free space' error. But i have over 8GB free

    Patch giving 'not enough free space' error. But i have over 8GB free on all partitions.

    Getting sick of this.

    Ah well i guess i can do without BF2 then. Not my job to fix this.

    Problem - Not Enough Space
    Cause - Need more space on your System Drive
    Fix - The patches now require roughly 3GB of free space on your Hard-Drive, it will not usually look where Battlefield 2 is installed but on the drive where your operating system is installed.

    But there's a workaround, (Important, Before changing the registry, read Warlord's Warnings just below the contents page at the top of this FAQ)

    Open regedit.exe and search for this key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\ProgramFilesDir

    It points to "C:\Program Files" by default. If you change the value to "E:\Program Files", the patch will look for 3000 MB free space on drive E instead of C.

    So Change it to look on a Hard Drive that has enough space for the patch to run. After the patch is completed, change the registry key back to what it was before you edited it.
