Re: Server requires Unmodified Content??

DAMN, this thread is getting long, checking back in, it has been about 6 weeks and my game still runs perfect after i got all the md5 correct. for all those talking about bad ram, i dont think thats your problem, unless you pass all md5 and still have this problem, then maybe. I still stand behind my stance that the only thing that causes this error is corrupt game files (thus failing md5 sums). Good luck guys!!! the game will work once you get this error worked out, I promise. And try not to bash EA, its not their fault your files are corrupt.

Re: Server requires Unmodified Content??

my rig? what's wrong with it. its brand new with a new install of XP on it. if the stupid game can't run on a system that it says on the box it was designed to run on, thats NOT MY FAULT. I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE INSTALLATION, so how can it be my fault? every other game seems to run fine on my machine.

Re: Server requires Unmodified Content??

I get that message every now and then. No modified files or anything. I've reinstalled the game, etc. It's just an annoying random thing. I can even be playing on a server for awhile then out of the blue when a new map loads, it says that and I get disconnected, heh. It happens when you click "click to play".

Re: Server requires Unmodified Content??

Hey when you have the latest 1.03 check
same version only
same mod
Ranked
Punkbuster
on the checklist

Don't play on servers that don't have punkbuster, or seem kind of strage like laidback crew or mafia and especially not EA official Eourope 150.

Re: Server requires Unmodified Content??

Hey, I just bought BF2 and patched up to 1.12 and everything. However, I'm getting the unmodified content error on every server I try to join. Since there haven't been any posts in here in a while I was wondering if there was a fix or something I missed. I've been fighting with my comp all day to get this game to work. :cry:

Nope, no fix besides all the ones in this thread.

Re: Server requires Unmodified Content??

Having read this ENTIRE thread (took a while.....) I would add my 2c worth to say that the issue appears to be either of, or a combination of, 2 things - both of which are covered in the thread as to solutions.
1. first of all, files not passing MD5 checksums. Because what you are sending to the server does not match their files, they see it as 'modified content' and you're off the server quick as. Many people have posted here with fixes to the file checksum problem (e.g. by copying the failed file from someone else's pc that isn't having a prob with that file, and so on), but it wasn't until later on in the thread that people have suggested WHY the files are failing (because it's not always the same files failing), which brings us to:
2. bad RAM. It was suggested that if RAM is not perfect (as tested by MEMTEST), it may be passing incorrect data to the server when validating the files, and thus the 'modified content' message and kicking from the server. Also explains why the same people can join the same server later without probs.
SO THE SOLUTION, that seems to work for most of the people who have posted here is to get the files to match the checksums without failure (if possible), and/or make sure RAM passes MEMTEST checks.
PLEASE do not flame me for this post, I am just posting a summary of the many many posts here, with the 2 solutions that seem to work for the most people, so that you don't have to spend your evening reading the whole thread (but the finer details of how to fix these 2 things is contained within the thread). I would be interested to see if anyone gets perfect MD5 checksums & passes MEMTEST RAM testing, and STILL gets 'modified content' because that's about where I'd give up and go home.....
FYI - I get 'modified content' message occasionally, ran MEMTEST and failed test 5 (moving 64mb blocks or something like that).
Good Luck......

Re: Server requires Unmodified Content??

Incidentally, no one has ever replied to say whether one guys solution of making the whole BF2 folder & sub directories read only worked for anyone else. Did it work for anyone else????
I'll give it a try for a laugh (or a cry)

Re: Server requires Unmodified Content??

Just had a look, and the entire Battlefield 2 folder is already set as 'read only'.
So much for that thought......

Re: Server requires Unmodified Content??

Muttmonsta, for a lot of people who get kicked from time to time it's because the 'modified content' error only applies to 1 or 2 maps that didn't patch properly which explains why it sometimes works properly.

I got the error with the 1.01 patch last July. I ran memtest and found errors with one of my modules so removed it, patched BF2 properly, and then put the RAM back in again without any problems.

Since than I've been promoting this solution everywhere though for some it isn't always the solution.

Re: Server requires Unmodified Content??

Thanks ptegan, that pretty much seems to sum up things. Good RAM + good checksums = playable BF2 (for MOST people).
Cheers.
