Hey evey1.
I bought bf2 as soon as it came out. I tried to install it straight away, but when i went to install i got these lovely little errors which apparently are quite well known:
"MD5 cheksum error ...."
These errors occured on random files every different time i tried to install. I searched endlessly for fixes and eventually found a suggestion to end all non-critical background processes. I tried this and it improved the problem. I also tried getting the failed files from my mates pc. This "kind of worked". I could play the game but not certain maps.
So anyway, i continued to play away for most of the year until today, when i eagerly bought SF. Now i've had a problem before with installing the 1.03 patch. At the end it said "patching failed". but when i ran the game it luckily didnt seem to effect my play. However...when i went to install SF and the patch, the same error appeared, but this time it wouldnt let me continue to install the game. I tried over and over agin but nothing.
It was suggested that i reinstalled bf2, so that i did. Oh i wish i hadn't. That delightful MD5 error reappeared. But this time, after i skipped a few of them, it reaches another error:
"Failed to install Battlefield 2, try starting from the beginning"
I tried this over and over again. But nothing.
I finally contacted EA tech support where they told me how to completely erase all bf2 content from the system. They were very helpfull, but the problem remains, however the MD5 error seems to have disappeared.
I'm really sorry for this long post, but i'm really stuck for ideas and need some help. I understand if you get bored reading this, so don't bother whining about it. I JUST NEED SOME HELP PLEASE.
THANKS
