Wierd text in EF

Re: Wierd text in EF

lovely... since i've been uninstalling and reinstalling so many times, i have created a new one. Now i am receiving the "Error: 32791:6 Unable to authorize decryption" upon attempted install of EF. This error is received as a security attemp to prevent access from multiples machines multiple times. What a pathetic method of software distribution EA Downloader is... now i have to wait 48 hours to try and fix something a bad installer broke.

Man i wish i could just go out to retail and buy this...

Re: Wierd text in EF

yes i am also getting this problem. i think its interesting that i set out to find if anyone else is having this problem and when i googled "battlefield 2 tech support" this is one of the first pages that came up, and my problem is one of the first problems on the list. in other words, this problem is not uncommon. so what is the f)(*ing fix EA?

as i have said all along, if it wasn't for the fact that this game is so f)(*ing fun i would have quit playing it a long time ago!

Re: Wierd text in EF

It's got something to do with the localization files. It seems when you installed the patch it went a bit wrong. Go to C:Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\localization\English and there is a file called english mappacks, open it with notepad and paste this code into it.

LOADINGSCREEN_MAPDESCRIPTION_OperationSmokeScreenWar continues to rage for the precious oil in the Middle East. The EU has come to aid their allies, confronting the MEC head-on in one of the most brutal battles of the war. Multiple assaults on both fronts have pushed the armies back to their bases, decimating the middle ground and leaving the oil field a smoking ruin. Even though the oil reserves have been destroyed, what remains beneath the scorched desert sand makes this a battleground worth fighting for.
LOADINGSCREEN_MAPDESCRIPTION_GreatWallA newly negotiated peace with Russia has allowed the European Union to launch an attack into mainland China from the north. The EU forces hope to breach the Great Wall of China and establish a base for future operations before continuing south to the coast, but their supply lines are dangerously thin. If the Chinese forces can head off the assault and hold them back long enough, the EU will have no choice but to retreat back into Russia. It’s vital for them to link up with American forces attacking from the coast, or a sustained assault on China will be impossible!
LOADINGSCREEN_MAPDESCRIPTION_TarabaQuarryThe EU forces are en route to reinforce an American division that has been cut off from the front lines. The MEC have moved to intercept them, and both armies are about to meet at the Taraba Quarry, the only crossing point of the Taraba River this side of the Caspian Sea. If the MEC can hold their side of the river, the Americans will be cut off and surrounded. The EU must break through the enemy lines before the Americans are overrun!

Re: Wierd text in EF

Andy140: thanks for the tip, can't wait to try it as soon as i can install EF again... but who knows when that will be. been 3 days now and my resposne from EA Tech after a detailed help inquiry was a "Please Try Gain". Not that i'm surprised after all the crap i've been through so far... dam this great game.

Re: Wierd text in EF

something interesting happened this afternoon - I turned on my computer as i normally do and after the logging into windows normally, the first thing i did was click on EA Downloader and clicked the install button for Euro Forces(as i have been the for nearly a week).

The difference this time is that it didn't give me the error and completely installed! Noting that i had changed nothing since the last time i tried installing i can only assume that the time was finally reset on the server. Though instead of 48hrs it ended up being nearly 144hrs.

so whatever happened was not on my end and this problem is left unresolved and i will be very weary of using EA Downloaded in the future

~the end~

Re: Wierd text in EF

Just to fuel the fire, i have the same issue going on in reference to your first screenshot. I really didn't think much of it cause it's not crashing the game or anything. I did however reinstall the 1.22 patch using the full patch instead of increments and i haven't played a Euro game since so maybe that fixed it. When i get home i will take a look.

if you are still having this problem, try using Andy140's tip above and past in that code, it seems promising. too bad i didn't get to test it as i finally got Euro Forces to install again and the text problem didn't occur again
