I recently got myself the BF2 "Delux Edition" with special forces. im having trouble updating the d#mn thing tho, i've downloaded all the patches from saix.net and whether i install only 1.41 or do incremental patching neither of them work! i've read that i needed to uninstall current installtion of BF2 and then apply patches... i've tried this and it also doesnt work, im really starting to loose my patience with this games :mad:
 
well install the patch and when i run the game it still has the orginal version no displayed in the top right-hand corner 1.1.2-07xxx
when i install patch 1.21 and i try and run the incremental from 1.21 - 1.22 it tells me i need to install 1.21 first.. which i thort i had already done.
 
What happens if you do a fresh BF2 install and do only the 1.41 patch?

Do you perhaps install BF2 in a different directory?

the patch says it installs succesfully, but when i start up the game it still has the same defualt version no... is there another way to check the version of BF?
I've even tried DL the patch from IS last night thinking maybe the patch on saix was broken, that also didnt work. :confused:
 
Dude don't worry about what the game version says, generally programs that don't install correctly will give an error, if it says it has installed it then believe it because it won't lie to you :p

can you connect to servers?

lol, yes i can connect to saix and join a game but i kept getting kicked out tho somthing to do with something not being the right version... could it be punkbuster?
 
ok, just thort i'd let you guys know that i've managed to sort out my problem by downloading the lastest version of pbsetup and upgrading the BF2 agent and even tho my version no is still at 1.1.2.xxx i could actually connect to the saix servers and play a full game :D
so a big thanks to everyone in this thread!
