Well, Im confused, but I think this is the problem.
Well, I uninstalled BF2 because it wasnt working Mods well. I reinstalled it and was downloading the Latest patch 1.50. But it says that I have it downloaded allready. But when I Run BF2 and look at the Servers. I cant join almost all of them. It says that the latest version isnt installed even though it is!!!!! I need help. Ive been working on this All Day. And Im tired. PLEASE HELP ME. Thank you for reading. :(

I believe you have an incorrect registry entry, specifically the entry that notes which versino of BF2 you have installed.

on 64 bit windows, if you have an Origin copy of BF2, it is this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2\Version

It is probably set to 1.5
you need to edit it to 1.0

What OS? XP/Vista/7/8/8.1 ?
IS it 32 bit or 64 bit? <-- required you answer this correctly
And you have the retail Disc version of the game


you have to open registry editor,
Search for RegEdit
start it as admin
Search for the correct location in the registry tree on left:
then change the "Version"="1.5" back to "Version"="1.0"

for 32 bit:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2]
"Language"="English"
"Locale"="en_US"
"InstallDir"="E:\\Battlefield 2"
"Version"="1.5"
for 64 bit
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2]
"Language"="English"
"Locale"="en_US"
"InstallDir"="E:\\Battlefield 2"
"Version"="1.5"

Ok. I reinstalled BF2. Downloaded the patches in order and everything is fine. But I already have another problem that Ill be posting. Whenever I run the Singleplayer mode in a mod. It takes too long to load and freezes at the class/map screen. Ive been working on downloading these mods for 3 days now and its one problem after another :-( . Thanks for the help. :[

IF you have BF2 and the mods on a HDD, you might need to defrag the hard drive.
