EA Downloader/Special Forces Error

Re: EA Downloader/Special Forces Error

My freaking game is taking 5 hours to freaking download. THATS BS. I DIDNT BUY IT ONLINE SO IT WOULD DL THAT SLOW.

I could have went to the store and bought it 100 times already.

FFS. YOU HAVE TO PATCH TO 1.12 AGAIN AFTER INSTALLING SF.

OK...so still no luck.

One other thing I've noticed now, is that if I click on the "community tab" in-game, I see two things, one being the expansion, but other for BF2 original is displayed as:

ID = BF2
Name=MODDESC_BF2_TITLE
Version 1.12

The special Forces one is

ID=xpack
Name=Battlefield 2: Special Forces
Version=BF2 1.1

Once again, anyone? Bueler?

Sorry to hear of your bad luck bros. I never trust anything that is downloadable. Think of it this way: If you ever lose your HDD, you'll need to redownload it. If you have the purchased copy, you have it physically with you.

What does FFS mean?

So, you're telling me that I need to install 1.12 again after having installed in the order I did? So, essentially:

. BF2 original install
. 1.03
. 1.12
. Install BF2 SF
. Install 1.12 again?

If so, that is the stupidest patching that I have ever experienced,

Thanks for the input

Well, after all the troubles I've had, it's now been resolved.

Following the steps I took, and patching with 1.12 a second time helped everything. I can now properly (as properly as it can be) see the server listing, approx. 500 servers, and I cannot to servers and play.

I've also unlocked 4 new weapons, which is pretty damn cool. I think I can play them in BF2 now, which is going to be sweet.

I hope reading this will help others resolve their problems.

Only complaint is a little laggy on the server side, but other than that, great gameplay, great expansion. I'm going to have fun with this.

PEACE

Order...

Install BF2: Original
Install BF2: SF
Install BF2 v1.12

That was my original try-out, it didn't work. I would get a "crash to desktop" whenever I would try and connect to a multiplayer game.

Re: EA Downloader/Special Forces Error

So when I get home I should:

- Save my profiles and stuff. (HOW TO DO THAT?)
- Uninstall freakin' BF2.
- Reeeeeb000t is the ****.
- Install BF2 orignal.
- Reeb00000t.
- Install 1.03 patch.
- Reb00t.
- Install 1.12 patch.
- PLAY AND HAVE FUN.

Because when I installed the patch I just downloaded it and ran it next day and my graphic in-game got ****ed and then the screen crashed so I restarted the computer.

PS. REMEMBER TO UPDATE PUNKBUSTER!!!
