How many had probs with the EA dowloader?

[Beowulf(AUS)]

Hi All,
Let me start by saying that this post isnt a whinge or a flame fest.....I am just interested to know how many forum members had problems with the EAD.

Let me also state that I bought the file last Wednesday, but still havent got it to work yet. I'm mildly annoyed at this, but I have faith that EA will sort of some fixes so I can enjoy this add on pack.

I have had 4 separate problems now, from the 7049:0 problem to the "Catastrophic error" on install to the "system clock being wrongly set" error last night. The 4th one was an Installshield error.

I think if enough players submit genuine posts, and not just "EA sux the fat c#@k", the message may get around that this method of distribution isnt working out for everyone just yet.

I do enjoy BF series immensly, and can say that I havent bought any other games cept the SF pack since BF was released. I would have gladly paid an extra $5 to have a hard copy of the mod.

So please, no whinging, flaming, etc......just honest responses.
Thx in advance

I luckely had no single issue with this, I expected loads though. Steam used to be a disaster, but this worked perfectly.

I have had nothing but problems .... I finally got it to install, now when I go to join multiplayer it just freezes up ... very lame to say the least

I've had the same error and nothing ea tells me to do works. The Ea downloader screen is just white with no error messages. Nothing appears to work so far.

Fine, but once I couldnt log into another account and I kept getting an error, in the end I had to uninstall then reinstall it.

I'm still having problems. I donwloaded it Sunday night and haven't been able to get a clean file. All I get are corrupted ones starting with the "7049:0" error and then the "catastrophic failure" during installation. So now I'm trying one of the alternative download sources to get a clean file.

Thx guys for the info.....I know that the number doesn't represent the community but 31% of players having problems is suprising. I was guessing maybe 5-10%.

Overnight, EA sent me an answer to the "7049:0 error". They said it was an screen saver issue. When a SS pops up, it interferes with the connection.
Unfortunately, thats not correct as I dont run a SS.

Please keep the posts coming

Yeah right, screen saver issue.
Do they think we're all complete idiots?
Did they ever consider that some BF2 players might be working in the field of IT?
I don't have a screensaver either, and it still does not work. (Error 7049:0)
LOL it doesn't even start connecting.
I personally still believe that the problem is due to the EA Downloader containing some poor code.
