Amazing it took this long for someone to finally say this.
As far as the installation being corrupt. Then why do some servers work fine yet others have problems? Are those servers corrupt?

greatwhiteshark you maybe a good guy but the thread actually had people attempting to help each other until you posted. I'm pretty sure those of us having the problems are not all software pirates.


BTW I too have an A64. Have reinstalled several times an still have the problem with some servers. I see that thread posted above me talks about this too. Will give it a try tonite an see what happens.

A corrupted file does not mean that you have a virus or have messed around with the content per say, "BUT" it dose mean that "a" or more than one file has been changed from it's original purpose, from the programs original intention.
(more than likely that one has copied the same programme to the same hard drive more than once. The same files have been over written and/or duplicated and the program dose not know where to draw the information it needs from or where to send information to)
A full uninstall of the program in question will more than likely solve this dilemma.

Now we have got that out of the road we can concentrate on the original post/issue "Server requires Unmodified Content" posted by sithloard, the server Zboard Atlanta has a different version of either Punkbuster and/or patch running than the player trying to join the server.

This will settle down when the BF2 patching has compleated to an amicable state for all.
You will get different servers running different patch versions and different versions of Punkbuster as neither are streamed to the servers or when a player connects to the net.

Rather than you all "POSSIBLY" thinking that you all have the same problem why not treat yourselves as individuals and post a Q in http://forums.totalbf2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=73 to be dealt with separately.

im having the same problem on my XP 3000+, i did get an error on one of the "object_client_"map"" files during install.. i will give the manual uninstall a try and then ill do what Wamplord suggested.

The \Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Objects_client.zip is not getting updated when you run the patch. The updated file should be 510 mb with a modification date of 6/28/05, the original file has a size of 511 mb created on 5/23/05. I have verified this myself twice now. Here is what I did.
- I Redownloaded the patch
- Uninstalled the game (Using the EA supplied unistaller in the Start\All Programs\EA Games\Battlefield2\Uninstall Battlefield 2, NOT the Add/Remove programs)
- REBOOT
- Install the game
- REBOOT (Dont load the game)
- Reinstalled the patch

I have been playing every since. I forgot how fun the game actually is.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Kelloggs, I posted this on another thread. it worked for me although I get the "server requires unmodified data" error about 10% of the time. And yes am on a AMD64.

So, I was having this problem :"server only allow unmodified version....etc" I took what UK.D-Hirogen says about PB possibly being the problem.
Steps I took:

Full uninstall, including profiles etc in "My Documents" folder.
Full install.
Go to Punkbuster website and do as they say. (Download PBWEB.exe to PB folder and install).
Then run the 1.02 patch.

Bobs your uncle, well at least now in the patchlog.txt it's now saying "Applying HISTORY File Patch for 'mods\bf2\Objects_client.zip'

Updating ...
Updating to next version ...
File successfully Updated!

Which is what Hirogen seems to think is the problem (my symptoms same as his but now fixed)

So now I'm about to try that. If no post from me soon, then it must have worked

AMD64 +3500, Sapphire Radeon x800 256MB, 2x512MB Ultra DDR RAM

Solution

Patch the game again in WINDOWS SAFE MODE.
If that doesn't work, Uninstall and reinstall the game manually and PATCH THE GAME IN SAFE MODE AGAIN.

THAT SHOULD DO THE TRICK FOR THAT :)
