pr says bf2 not updated to patch 1.5

[isaac.eck]

Hi guys, I found out about pr a little while ago, and was really excited to play it. However, when I try to install it, I have to physically show it my bf2 root file, and then it tells me it cant verify if v1.5 patch has been installed. I have deleted all my mods, and reinstalled v1.5 patch, and it still doesn't work. BTW, I downloaded the torrent version, and first opened the iso with 7zip, when I got this error, I downloaded power iso and used it, still got the same problem. Can someone please help me? thanks

you have to install 1.4 patches before 1.5

have you tried doing that?

No, I didn't know that. Im trying to install it through desura first, if that doesn't work, ill install both patches.
Thanks

ok, I installed it using desura, and was able to get the launcher working, but now when I try to start it, it tells me that the file NovintHFX.dll is missing.

Here is a copy of my file:

This goes in the root BF2 folder, same directory that has the vanilla BF2.exe file.

Hello
I have similar problems. Running win7, and after installing bf2 from original dvd, i cannot get pr installed.
Firstly, (b4 installing pr) the bf2 game starts up fine. Punkbuster updates and all looking good.
When looking at the read me files on dvd, i see the patch included are the 1.41.
After downloading 1.5 i get error message that i have a newer version installed..
When installing pr, both the bf2 and pr refuses to start up, just a couple of minutes with normal start up menues, and after dark screen a couple seconds, shuts down with no error messages.
Same computer have been running same and heavier games earlier without problems, so no problems with hardware. Changed harddisk a while ago, so need to install everything from scratch again.
Hope someone can help

From bf2 login menu: version 1.0.2442.0 So i'm not sure which patch are included here?
Downloaded (with desura) pr again as the files i'm having where a bit old... When attempting to install i get error message that it cannot be verified that i have 1.5 installed, and installation stoppes.
When trying to install 1.5 it says i have a newer version installed.. getting frustrating this

Hi bjornblood,

Your DVD is so old I actually don't know which patch you need.
, you need to find the BF2 PATCH 1.22 FULL ,
here is a link, IDK if it still works: Battlefield 2 Patch: 100 Mbps Fast File Download Servers
then you can download the 1.41 full and 1.5 full from the official PR installation guide here:
