    Can't load into Game: Saying I'm using modified data after reformat!

    Here is what I wrote to EA... I hope someone in here can help cause they seem to have lost my email address or put this support ticket in the closet...

    ~~~~~

    I recently was having key mapping issues so I decided to reinstall my BF2 hoping that would correct the issue.

    After the re-install, if try to connect to any server I get a message that says im using modified data and that I need to revert to an offical EA version. Something along those lines.

    Well when this happened last night I decided to reformat my computer using NTFS partition. When I did the reformat I did NOT install any AV or Firewalls to make sure this wasn't the problem.

    Heres what I did after the reformat:

    Install XP
    REBOOT
    Updated all fixes and patches and SP2
    REBOOT
    Installed DirectX 9.0c and .NET Framework with SP patch
    REBOOT
    Motherboard drivers (latest form Nvidia/DFI)(DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra)
    REBOOT
    Installed latest ATI Drivers (x800XL 256MB PCI-X)
    REBOOT
    I installed BF2
    REBOOT
    Downloaded & Installed 1.02 patch
    REBOOT
    DID NOT INSTALL ANY AV OR FIREWALL
    Tried to play BF2 and still getting the same modified data error BS.

    Whats going on... I just did a fresh install!

    Best Regards,

    My Info not for public eyes....

    Some people report issues with onboard LAN and PB. Did you update PB manually?



    get pbweb.exe and run that.
