Problems patching BF2 vanilla.

[ForLibertyandFreedom]

Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone.

I had uninstalled BF2 a while ago, and decided I'd like to give PR:Falklands a go. However, I'm struggling to find patch downloads, and when I do. V1.2 says "Patching Failed" then next says it has been successfully installed.

Could anyone provide me with reliable websites that have the patches available to download?

Thank you all in advance.

Bump, anyone ?

EDIT: The 1.41 Full Patch is a cumulative patch, you can go from any prior version of BF2 and immediately install the 1.41 Full Patch to get to 1.41... follow the directions below.

Here is the installation guide with download links:
PR:BF2 Support - Project Reality Forums
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr ... guide.html

Here is the installation guide in tl;dr format:

Install BF2.
Run BF2.
Note the version number on the bottom left corner of the log-in screen. Write it down.
log in or create a user account.
join online game.
adjust your audio and video settings now for convenience.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

(Optionally if you bought it) install Special Forces Addon.
Run BF2.
log in.
join online game.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

install 1.41 FULL PATCH.
Run BF2.
log in.
join online game.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

install 1.5 PATCH.
Run BF2.
log in.
join online game.
exit BF2.
Reboot.

Download and install 0.973 full installer.
Start the PR shortcut on desktop.
log in.
exit PR.

Download and install the PR 0.973 to 0.981 Patch
(If it CTDs, Edit the PR shortcut as described below.)
Start the PR shortcut on desktop.
log in.
join online game.

If you crash at the splash screen, or the screen goes black and then crashes to desktop, try to start PR in windowed mode by following the directions below:

Edit your PR shortcut and ( what AfterDune said ) put this in it

Code: Select all

Code:
"D:\Program Files\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +restart +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +szx 1280 +szy 720
Dont just copy paste this, but adjust to your install location. Make sure you dont omit quotation marks or it wont work. 

If you start in windowed mode and it CTDs, a Message will pop up telling you the problem. Take a screenshot or write this down and post it to this thread.[/QUOTE]

That explains why I haven't been able to find anything. Thank you very much, I really do appreciate that!
