I'm having the same problem. Interestingly, I can't even roll back to the 1.12 patch. It crashes at the 62% mark. I'm pretty sure it's a setting or program missing so guess my night is spent on fixing what used to work. I'm not blaming the patch though. Not yet =P

if this has been happeneing only, ONLY since 1.2, go back one by hitting the Back button on your browser, read the million other threads.

Well I never get to see the arrow it just minimizes as soon as it starts the first EA intro video. It used to happen on occasion before the patch now it happens every time.

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!

Re: Cannot Open Bf2 After 1.2 Patch

I didn't rename anything and I've tried installing everything twice already. I give up on BF2 and basically everything else game related that's held me captive since I got interested. It's rediculous. Iv'e tried so hard to be patient. Good luck to everyone having the same problems that I am. Hopefully someone will either find a fix, or figure out what we're doing wrong before I sell my computer.

Since TBF2 sucks now and I can't edit posts, here is an edit to my last post: edit: and no that's not an idle threat or anything so silly. Honestly, if my computer sounds good to you and you're interested, send me a pm. I'm very literally about to sell this. If I can't fix the problem by friday all of my hardware is up for sale.

Re: Cannot Open Bf2 After 1.2 Patch

Between $1,300 and 1,500. That's a lot less than I paid for it and that's for the exact stats in my sig.

Re: Cannot Open Bf2 After 1.2 Patch

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

Re: Cannot Open Bf2 After 1.2 Patch

I'll try that out...

Re: Cannot Open Bf2 After 1.2 Patch

Unfortunately didn't fix the problem. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Re: Cannot Open Bf2 After 1.2 Patch

Hmmm...
I noticed you have an X-Fi like me. I was using the latest beta drivers which just refused to let BF2 run so I did a complete uninstall (edit: of the drivers) and went back to the latest supported drivers.

Re: Cannot Open Bf2 After 1.2 Patch

Yeah I'll try creative and nvidia based offical drivers tomorrow. It's the only thing left I can think of causing problelms.
