BF2S Forums No patches will work, help!

Thanks for the Reply Answeller.  Only one account on my pc, and that is the administrator one .  And yes, my o/s is xp sp2.  Any other ideas?

Hey King

I am having the SAME EXACT problem.

I have been working with EA for days now to try and solve.  They keep telling me to uninstall everyting, then reinstall BF2 / SF / patch 1.22.  But it has not worked.  I get the same "patch failed" message about 5% into it.  And, it screws up my game - so I have to uninstall / reinstall every time I try a new patch.

One member here tried installing 1.21 full, then 1.22 incrimental and it worked.

He also talked with EA and they told him to download and install the patch in safemode.

I have not tried either of these - but will tonight.

I have similar specs - and it is a brand new computer I just finished assembling.  I thought it might be a problem with my dual cores?  or my BIOS settings? but everthing else works on the computer!

x2 dual core 4800+
XFX 7900 GT pci e
2g pc 3200 OCZ Ram
Asus A8N32 SLI deluxe mobo

No overclocking yet or anything fancy....

very frustrating!!!

This is from another thread.....

After 1.22 the servers are no longer letting me in and say that I have modified game content. Anyone come accross that one? Also the number of servers has decreased dramatically and the whole of my favourites has turned red ... is it really so that most have remained with 1.21?

I agree with the ones before me regarding support class ... 1.2 put shame on the class. PCWs are now held with a "no support" clause.

Ah, now I had this problem! Couldn't find a solution to it, so you have to uninstall everything, reinstall everything and then (and only then) do you patch it. If you are installing BF2: SF, then you have to install incremental patches 1.12, 1.2, 1.21 and finally 1.22. This is because SF installs 1.1 when itself is installed.

Hope this helps you out enough,

Thanks for your posts guys.  Updated all my hardware drivers, but still no joy.  At least I know I am not alone in this problem now though!  Tuna, if you do manage to resolve this situation I would very much appreciate you posting the solution here(as I am sure you would have anyway).  Rest assured that if I manage to remedy the problem, I will post the fix. Cheers, and let's hope we can get this sorted!  For now I think I will try using the early patches, and if they work then use the incrementals up to 1.22.

Great King!  You must be pumped....after the drawn out problem.  I will try it tonight as well.  Did you do a complete uninstall / reinstall of BF2 and SF before you started downloading the patches (1.12, 1.2, 1.21 and finally 1.22)?  Did you do incrimental 1.12 or full 1.12?  also, did you do it in safe mode or normal mode?

Thanks very much - it sounds like we have the same exact problem....so I wanted to pick your brain a bit and make SURE I do it the exact same way!!!!

thanks

Thanks King - I will definitely let you know.....!

Glad to hear it Tuna!  Why this method works I don't know, but lets hope this thread helps a few others in the same boat.  See you on the battlefield   And yes, EA were pretty useless for me too!

I've just read this thread, due to having similar problems with installing my 1.22 patch.  Tried the full patch 1.22 and no luck.  The only time that I've had good gameplay has been while running the incrementals.  I will also try this patch diagram and let you know if it works.  You may be onto something.  Believe me, major karma will be flowin' if it works.  After 6+ weeks of not being able to play battlefield, I'm at my whitts end.

How did it work?  It is still working for me....I just installed incrimental 1.3 and that worked as well.
