    8 Jul 2005 ~ 8:08am Nosferatu The patch itself needs a patch to even get it installed. I needed to add an InstallDir entry to the BF2 key in the registry, apparently they don't think anyone would care to install the game anywhere but C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2 (it's installed in F:\Battlefield 2 on my system). A friend of mine couldn't install it and had to copy the files extracted from the install file, then run the actual patch executable with the BF2 directory as a parameter. DICE (and EA) are really horrible companies compared to VALVe and Epic. BF2's GUI is the worst i have ever seen. Nothing is logically laid out or works intuitively. Making the 9 key your parachute by default? wtf? Making the enter key your team/class menu? wtf? Making 1 and 2 pick guns other than your rifle and handgun (respectively). wtf? The only thing they got right was WASD and Tab. The game itself is great though... it's just a pity it didn't have a better developer and publisher.

    8 Jul 2005 ~ 12:00pm Gobbles no is the answer to everything with this patch.

    it fixed nothing that I can see.
    it improved nothing that I can see.
    it took its sweet time to install being only 13 meg
    it did however install to my D:\battlefield 2 dir no problem.

    8 Jul 2005 ~ 8:11pm Nosferatu Yeah, what was up with the patch showing the "Patching..." message for like 5 minutes? How hard is it to copy new files or modify old ones? It certainly shouldn't take more than a minute, if that.
  5. 18 Jul 2005 ~ 1:37pm JJ Your BF2 crashes to desktop when playing online??? LOOK THIS

    I've had crashes to desktop (in-game crashes, and after load map), but I've tryed to change Sound Hardware Acceleration and I've played all day without crash!!

    Try it
    "Start" then "Run" and write there "dxdiag"
    and disable "Sound Hardware Acceleration" in "Sound Tab"

    It work fine for me...

Howdy, Stranger!
