    There won't be a 64 bit version but it should work just fine. Just download it and install it.

      You can't download and istall it by using the "EA Downloader" if you have XP64,

      I have the same problem and im running XP64, I couldn't Download SF via EA Downloader.

      I have been sending E-mails to EA about this, but no respons yet (Or ever) Going to take a walk to EA HQ next week if i don't get the right answer,

      It's just a block away

          There shouldn't be any problems installing on x64. I got a warning when installing VanillaBF2: "This version has only been tested on 32-bit OS", but I never had a problem.

          Have you tried using the old 32-bit Internet Explorer? I have to use that one to view flash sites, or sites like windows update and other auto-update/download sites.
          It's located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"

            Dam thats anoying, my new machine (x64) comes in two days. I hope you get an answer that solves the problem.

            @Berrern hes not talking about the actual game he is talking about the EA downloaded, it doesnt work on XP64 machines.

              Yeah, that's what I'm talking about too, sorry if I was unclear.
              In XP64 you have an Internet Explorer, but you also have an IE32-bit icon somewhere. I've had lots of problems with flash and auto-download/script sites using the standard x64 Internet Explorer, but they all work in Internet Explorer 32-bit. It's just a matter of finding the icon/setting up the shortcut :)

                You know why, because Windows is **** fullstop. Have you heard of Linux? Battlefield 2 will work on that and Linux has full 64 bit support.

                              I have Win x64 and the EA web site will not download the installer on x64. My work around was to SAVE instead of RUN the INSTALLER on to my 32 bit machine then move it to my x64 comp then run it. It installed & I used it to dnload SF no problem.
