Cannot Open Bf2 After 1.2 Patch

Re: Cannot Open Bf2 After 1.2 Patch

Hmm, I have an X-Fi too, but I am using Creative's latest released drivers.

My story is similar: I downloaded the incremental patch and installed it to a previously working install of BF2. I got a "Can't find Install folder" error so the patch would not install at all. I have it installed on my F: drive, btw.

I go for the complete uninstall -- registry cleaned and so on. I am on my 2nd install, and I can't even get BF2 1.0 to load out of the splash screen at the beginning. Straight crash to desktop.

I have: AMD 64 3200+, Gigabyte 6800GT, 1.5 MB RAM, WinXP SP 2 (with the latest security updates from today), and the Creative X-Fi Xtreme sound card (also onboard sound enabled for TeamSpeak).

I had the same problem and all I did to fix it was to rename my My Documents\Battlefield 2 dir to something like Battlefield 2.old

Thats it ?????

just renamed the battefield directory to battlefield old?

did you reinstall the patch or anything or just rename it.

Well i tried my documents/battlelfield2 and changed it to eagamesoutsourcestojerryskids and that didn't work. Actually i just changed it to battlefield2 old.
LOL
Anyway, that didn't fix it

Re: Cannot Open Bf2 After 1.2 Patch

this happens when you rename bf2.exe and then apply the patch. you have to reinstall EVERYTHING - bf2, sf, gamespy, patch, etc.

EDIT: why the f*ck did i listen to that stupid advice of renaming bf2.exe??!! scrwed me too!

YOU WERE RIGHT. I DID CHANGE THE DIR NAME AND THEN I CHANGED IT BACK TO BF2. THEN I PATCHED IT AGAIN (WITH THE 1.2 FULL PATCH) AND THEN IT WORKED!!!!
THANX!

MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE SHORTCUT DIR TO IF YOU'RE GONNA FIX IT.
