unmodifed content ?

[imported_Sin317]

ok:

i made a fresh install of bf2 , then installed bf2:sf , then applied patch 1.12.

started game, joined a server (ranked) played round. Exit game , start game game again , to see if i got my unlocked weapons for sf , nope. Ok i leave game , and configure ASE for SF.

Ok few minutes later i join a server with ASE , loads etc. then that Box with "this server blabla unmodifed blabla revert back blabla" pops up (i know several people had this). i thought hm , maybe ASE .. i start bf2:sf regulary with exe and select a server from the ingame browser (ranked , same version etc). nope , same thing.

anyone an idea ?

Your patch is not correctly applied. Try re-apply it 2-3 times. Propably wont still help. Check My Documents->bf2->something...\patch.log and it very likely shows that objects_client.zip was found but not correct.

I have exactly same problem. I tried to reinstall BF2 10 times. Applied 1.12 (from various places). Tried first apply 1.03 and then 1.12. Everytime same problem. The frigging patcher is b**hit.

Only way to get it to work was to install BF2 to my friend's computer. Apply 1.12 there. It went ok. Copy the whole BF2-dir to DVD/mobileHDD and back to my computer. That is 100% working solution.

The patch you downloaded may have had some error in it when it was comming across. If nothing seems to work then just download the patch again.

It is possible but not likely. I downloaded patch from 4-5 different places including directly from EA. It's the MD5-checksum problem with some setups. (And basicly a bug/feature of patcher).

As already explained, the patch didn't install correctly though it appears that it did.

If you managed to play a map then the important files seem to be all there but maybe some of the map files are missing (some people only get this message when trying to load certain maps).

There should be a patchlog.err file somwhere explaining which files didn't get patched.

Oh, and make sure that your anti-virus is off before you patch...

Re: unmodifed content ?

ok seems i solved it.

when i first reinstalled bf2 , i kept the profiles folder from previous install and copied it over to new folder. I now reinstalled again (deleting all old files and folders , incl. profiles etc) and set up all configs from scratch , and so far it works fine. Seems there is some part in the config it didnt liked. Dunno what tho.
