I won't go in to the deatils of just getting the 1.41 patch and then trying to post about the problem over at EA forums, suffice to say after having to register no less than 4 times I am not at all happy with EA at the moment.
On to business firstly I've played Oblivion and Stalker so I am no stranger to buggy games and the need to patch and request support but the problem with patching this game just seems stupid.
An error message saying it can't find the installation folder for a game that I installed directly from the CD to the default directory chosen by the CD is breathtakingly stupid.
The thing is I've searched around, like I said I've done this before. I've read the reg edits that are needed. Mine didn't have the backslash problem and the install info was correct however the key data InstallDir wasn't present. I've attempt installing the patch from three seperate locations; inside the BF2directory, from desktop and from my generic download folder. I've tried the CMD line patch method, despite this only being recommened for Patch Failed issues. I am a bit lost, I've never had issues with patches not wokring before I always thought patches were suppossed to solve problems not create new ones all by themselves.
The thing is looking about this problem seems to be something that has occured right from the off, I am utterly stunned that after 1.41 versions and 532Mb of patch that they haven't solved this.
I'll give the usual tech specs to see if anything else can help.
