The EA downloader name doesn't have to match your bf2 name. You can make that whatever. You just need to make your gamespy name your bf2 name. You can edit your gamespy name in the EA downloader without having to install gamespy.

Do you have to re install patches before you install euro force? Also how can I unistall euro force it doesnt show up anywhere. How can you tell if your euro forces is installed? Mine says ready to play in my EA downloader but when I try to join a server it says I need euro forces to play.

just a differing opinion, i used the downloader last night, got top speeds and a smooth installation, so take that!

I expect you are in the majority dude and I'm happy for you. I typically have high regard for EA and Dice etc cos despite all the issues this is an bloody good game. Just a shame there is so many issues and seemingly poor communication around resolving them.

Affirmative. There is nothing to complain about the speed or the installation on my side and much more faster then steam. Only the accountmanagement is not as good as steam.

This thread was opened by me, so I´ll guess I have a clue what it´s about. I´ve only answered the post of barleymeister that there is no complainment about the speed of the downloader.

Anf if you want to quote something, please quote it in the right sequence.

After reading everything, here's my question/complaint.  I used my gamespy ID, which is different from my BF2 IDs, to download and install EF.  Why then do I get a message saying I have to buy and install EF again when I try to start a single player game, my own server, and when I try to join a multiplayer server? 

From my point of view, EA/DICE has done a terrible job with this installation if you have to go in and edit a name somewhere.  Once you download it and install it, It should work without issue, just like anyother software you "legally" obtained from a "trusted" source.

Edited

AND IT SHOULD WORK WITH ANY ID ALREADY IN THE PROFILE LIST BEFORE INSTALLATION!!!

100% right m8... I´ve got the same issues and have bought the boosterpack twice because my gamespy ID was diffrent from my BF2-ID.

By the way, I´ve done the download tuesday afternoon and after I´ve payed the second time I´ve wrote an email to EA-Germay. Since yet I havent got any answers nor feedback. I think this customerservice is ridiciulous. If my company would act like this, we wouldn´t have to open the doors every morning again.

Thx for your xp with the code-version. Enjoy your EF. But, this thread is about the EA-Downloader-Version. As I´ve mentioned, the download progress isnt bad althought it´s pretty fast and stuff, but the login is, as I was able to read between the lines, not as easy as it should be.
