For your Steam question just read throught this thread:

This link is also in the thread, just gonna post it here too:

It's pretty much a fix for all the problems that can happen because of steam.

Hey Junior, glad to see new players, as for the community generally people are very helpful ingame so don't be discourage from asking questions in case you don't know, but the best thing to do is read up on the PR manual that Moszeusz posted, along with maybe watching some gameplay to get a better idea on how it all works. happy gaming.

thanks all you guys, but now im facing another problem, i just cant run the Setup , i download the 3 parts, 1,41gb each one, but then when i click on PR Setup 1of3 , nothing happens, any ideia why ? I use Windows 7

[counterpo0]

I also have the steam version and having problems too, i run all in admin, and used the BF2.exe fix but to no luck. When i refresh my list i only see 3 servers all 0/64, and when i try to join a game through PRSPY i get failed connection, please try your network connections.

Any help?

Click setup, go make coffee and sandwitch, eat and drink. Your setup will start shortly.

Run as administrator and wait.
For some reason, I had to wait at least a minute in Windows 7 for PR setup to start.

Setup was fast and easy, but joining a server is what is the problem. And another question, could i use my steam cd key for retail cd install? I lost my original cdkey, but have all 3 discs.

EDIT

Fixed it.

[juniorc2]

Thank you guys, now it worked, i waited about 5 minutes and then pop-up the installation, now im downloading the last patch, soon ill be playing with you guys

to fix that long delay you guys have you could probably turn off your "user account control" setting to "never notify".
just an fyi.

its under "control panel" "system and security" "Action center" "change user account control settings"

wouldnt that be something to have on at other times though? i dont really understand uac, but should it be turned back on right away for security reasons?

Depends on your level of computer-competency. If there are things that 'worry' you about the internet or computers in general, I think you should have it on.

As a computer science graduate I have a somewhat more intimate knowledge of the inner workings and general goings-on of computers, and as such in the vast majority of cases UAC is nothing but a hindrance and unnecessary button click for me. But I tell most of my friends to leave it on.

Hope that makes sense.

[paul161616]

it does thankyou. i wanted clarification not just for myself but so others who arent computer knowledgable as well dont end up screwing up their pc.

I am running without AV and ofcourse without UAC since forever and i have zero problems. Just have to use common sense.

There really should be a "New Players Discussion" thread for new players with all relevant information (Installation, Mumble, How-To, Guides, Videos, etc . . .) in the first post.
