    Battlefield 2 restarts when joining server & two other questions

    1) I've tried to search for this issue but have found no fixes. Me and my roommate both have this same problem. We installed the new expansion and ever since, whenever we try to join a server battlefield closes, then reloads. By that time the server is usually full. We have both read the guides and done the COMPLETE uninstall and reinstall with no success. This is really a pain in the ass. Are there any fixes?

    2) Additionally, I have a problem with my in game GUI mouse sensitivity. My weapons sensitivities are set just fine, but on the commander window, server browser window, squad and kit windows, and in heli / plane passenger seats, the mouse pointer sensitivity is extremely high. I barely move my mouse and it moves all the way across the screen.

    I have my windows mouse sensitivity turned way down, (adjusting it makes no difference in-game) and I have tried both with the logitech drivers / apps installed, and uninstalled, no difference (Logitech MX518). I have scoured the config files but I cannot find a UI sensitivity setting. Any help with this?

    3) Finally, I am not looking for the best looking graphical settings, I am looking for the best settings to help me spot enemies (which usually means lower settings). Are there any guides / tutorials out there for optimizing settings for the optimial in-game advantages? Thanks for your responses!

    The restarting thing sounds like you're trying to join a server running a different mod. E.g., you start up BF2 and then try to join a SF server-the game always exits & restarts to change mod, so this would happen.

        Yes, I have patched it. I got this answer from a user on another forum. Please advise:

        If you launch BF2 and then try to play a SF map it will quit and relaunch SF. Conversely if you launch SF and then try to play a regular BF2 map it will do the same.
        Use the appropriate icon. You'll have to consider SF and BF2 to be 2 seperate games. It's utterly stupid but that's what it is.

            That quote is basically saying the same thing as me. :) Since BF2 and SF are two different mods of the game engine, the game has to quit when swapping between them.

            If you want to play on an SF server, run 'special forces' not 'battlefield 2' is all I can suggest (choose the right icon/thingy from the start menu)
