To do that would it be better to uninstall the patch, and then install it, or does it not matter?

You can't uninstall patch... Just repatch it, it doesn't take as long as when you patch the first time

Nope never given my key away.
God, I don't even know it, nevermind about other people.
Cause I can't find it half the time. :p

'Your CD Key Is Not Valid'

I get that every time I try to connect to a server; ranked or unranked.
My CD Key is legit, I payed for the game and everything.
It worked 2 days ago and it stopped working yesterday saying that my CD key is invalid.

And I would like to try to not have to instal the game again, because then I have to reinstall the patch which takes 2 hours.

Help?

Problem - Invalid CDKEY when trying to join a server
Cause - Unencrypted CDKEY or bad Key
Fix - First Try this Program ftp://ftp.ea-europe.com/UK_Support/EAGA … yCheck.exe
If that does not help, Use battlefield2_code.exe to re-enter your CDKEY, this can be located in the support folder of where you installed battlefield 2 on your Hard-Drive.
After re-entering your CDKEY you must then reapply the latest patch in order for it to be encrypted into the registry.

Problem - I've lost my CDKEY
Cause - ...
Fix - There is a way for you to get a new CD Key/CD Disk. All you need to do is to call EA Support on 0870 243 2435 (thats if you are in the UK). If you are not in the UK then please follow this link to find your local EA Support Center. http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=24

In addition have your Battlefield 2 CD at the ready, as there is a number on the CD which you can tell the tech support team and they should be able to retrieve your CDKEY from that.

Peace Boris
