Says I still need to buy and install....

Re: Says I still need to buy and install....

Well, it's still not working for me, I've changed and re-matched as many names as I'm able to. I've followed EA's instructions on their website too, removing my local player info and then downloading it again. The problem is that my BF:2 player name and EA account names do not match, as EA did not allow punctuation in their account names. I'm also now locked out from changing names any more (3 times per week). I've emailed EA. Not impressed with this. I've said I'll give them seven days for a solution, or I want a full refund. I'd suggest anyone else on here who's having problems does the same.

"or I want a full refund" - Not going to happen.

Follow the instructions given here:
They worked for me and many other people.

Also, your EA account name and BF2 name don't have to match. Mine don't.

EA Account: doggunn123
GameSpy Profile Name (BFHQ): DogGunnEF
Ingame Name: DogGunn

None of my things match. NONE - And I'm still able to play.

Re: Says I still need to buy and install....

Could this be the problem (see attached screenshots)?



I used round brackets in my player name. What's interesting (not really), is that the Player Name (BF:2 screenshot top left), and the Active Account (BF:2 screenshot bottom middle) do not match: Player Name is: UNIT_UK_ and Active Account is UNIT(UK).

EA Downloader details are are set to UNIT(UK) - locked out for 3 days now!

Re: Says I still need to buy and install....

Looks like this may be the case, EA have asked me to rename my Gamespy account, without the parentheis (round brackets)...

From EA...
"This error message occurs when you are trying to log in to the account server under a GameSpy ID other than the one that Battlefield 2: Euro Force was purchased under. Also please make sure not to use any special characters. I suggest you change your name without the parenthesis characters.
