Origin version of BF 2
I have Battlefield 2 v1.5 installed through Origin. It is saying is unable to find that version when I enter the password to install Project Reality. Would anyone be able to help me find a resolution for this? I am a long time player of another mod called AIX. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Yeah, uninstall Origin and get steam. Better yet: Just get a retail copy of BF2 that doesn't require anything else.

Re: Origin version of BF 2
Than answer doesn't help anyone. Hopefully someone will give you hand with this, to my understanding Origin should work, but I don't use it so I am not sure what the problem is. All advice I can give is to reinstall the BF2.
Also could check your registry.
Go to start and write "regedit" to the search bar and hit Enter
Go to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2]
In there should be the following string values:
"Language" ="English"
"Locale" ="en_US"
"InstallDir" ="G:\\Games\\Battlefield 2"
"Version" ="1.5"
If any are missing right-click empty area -> New String Value.
Add to the Value name a text from left, remove the " ".
And to value data the text from the right, remove =" ".

If you are 100% positive you run BF 1.5 you can just ignore that message and continue with the PR installation.

Re: Origin version of BF 2
Raic, Sorry for taking so long to get back, but the regedit information was exactly what I needed to get my game up and running. Had to change the version from 1.4 to 1.5. even though the release notes said I was playing 1.5 version. Once I made that change, it was ready to go. Thank you for your willingness to help me. Sure appreciated it.
