I have a curious problem here.
My stepsons have identical laptops, both running Vista 32.
One installed the patch over his BF2 with no problems and is happilly playing.
The other one has had nothing but problems.
Keep in mind, this is from the SAME downloaded patch - it's not like they each d/led a separate one.
The patch seemed to install fine, but when bf2 was launched, all the buttons said things like "BUTTON_Main6", or similar.
it retained the users, but it absolutely could NOT log in. The internet was working fine to the computer, but BF2 could not log in.
I fiddled with it, and ultimately we removed (uninstalled) BF2 and reinstalled from disc, but have NOT applied the patch. So, theoretically, we are installing back to where it was previously working.
Now, it appears to not be able to connect to the servers again. We can't get past the "Retreive Account" phase.
At least he buttons look right...
Short of repeating these steps of remove and reinstall, I'm at a loss.
Anyone got any ideas?
