BF2S Forums use just Battlefield 2 v1.2 (357MB) on fresh install ?

Yes you can. And older version was 1.12 not 1.13, so maybe that's why you didn't find it. But yes, that 357 MB version of 1.2 patch is all you need.

ok...
just using the Battlefield 2 v1.2 (357MB) patch to my fresh install of the game "did not" work.
after trying to load into a server at about 47% of loading the game crashed to the desktop.
so...
your right it wasnt 1.13,it was 1.03 and Id found that but it is not needed.
the patch I needed was the one prior to this latest patch release,bf2_patch_112.(280MB).
I found it
so after doing an uninstall of the game(leaving my bf2 folder,profile settings etc.)
this is the process I used and had success after doing so,getting into the game with"no" problems.
*uninstalled game(exept for bf2 folder)
*defragged system
*rebooted
*installed game
*rebooted
*updated punkbuster http://www.punkbuster.com/
*rebooted
*installed bf2_patch_112.(280MB).
*rebooted
*installed Battlefield 2 v1.2 (357MB)
*rebooted

loaded game,went into a server,(round was almost finished,91-37)
got 5 kills,one death and a win
exited game a very happy camper...

reason for going throuh all this shit,went to take out my hard drive,in the process hit my e-geforce 6800 128 mb ddr agp8x,and she was gone.very sensitive hardware as I found out the hard way.
had always been a nvidia man,going back to the 4 series
sales person did a good job on selling me a ati radeon 1300
went to install it and thats where all the problems began,wont go into detail,but it was pure hell as I reconfigured something I shouldnt have trying to get the POS to work.
resulting in reformatting.
took that POS back,got my refund and spent $80 more(with $50 mail in rebate) for a
e-geforce 6600 gt 128 mb gddr3 agp 8x and this mother kicks ass...

* as this process worked for me,it may not for you,but its worth a shot if any of you run into game istallation problems.

are your drivers updated?

on the previous reinstall before this last one Ive posted about, I had similar problems
*and I actually had to replace my cd/rom drive,getting a atapi/e-ide interface 52x 32x 52x cd-rewriter
*also my game,it was scratched up pretty bad(taking better care of this one)
Id had my game since it came out back in june 05(Im on my 2nd bf2 account)
I got lucky and didnt have to pay for my 2nd copy as walmart just took it back and I exchanged it

alls I can say is,look and see if everythings plugged up tight on your drive,if so and still having probs
*it may be your drive,mine was wore out.
just a suggestion


good luck,as I know how frustrating getting this game to funtion properly is,being a bf2 addict myself and not being able to play for 3-4 dayz was hell as I need my bf2 fix
after doing all of above I now play without any problems and my new videocard has added much improvement to the game...

also the game is not produced with the patch applied to it,you need to apply the patches,so go through the above patch methods,using the bf2_patch_112.(280MB) first,then Battlefield 2 v1.2 (357MB) second.

*again these things worked for me,and may not work for you.

register with fileplanet
thats where I got the latest Battlefield 2 v1.2 (357MB) patch
make sure to d/l the 380 mb,not the 85 mb


bf2_patch_112.(280MB)
and here's the other one,get it
http://files.filefront.com/Battlefield+ … einfo.html

dude you can deal with ea,but waiting for them will kill you and the file size may be near impossible to email
get those patches and try the process I had posted earlier...

those are the "only" patches you need to run the game
also be patient,as the patch may fail a couple times,just reboot and keep trying until it completes.

good luck soldier

good to see you have it up and running
let me know how the graphics are as the 81.98 is for the 7800
and the 82.12 is for the 5-6 series
I installed the 82.12,went into the game and all was good...

roger that
I too found the 6600 gt on the list
d/led the 81.98 also
the 82.12 was working fine for me, but it was from dec. 2005 and the 81.98 was from feb. 2006
so Im updated with 81.98 as well


"your good to go,now get back to the fight"
