BF2 Version v1.41 Won't Start

Hello,

I recently bought Battlefield 2 with all the expansions from a local shop in my country(In Greece, trusted shop, With the CD not the Digital Edition) and after installing it, I downloaded the version 1.41 in order to install the latest version(1.50), but unfortunately, I am unable to open the exe to update the game. The problem is that when I run the Battlefield 2 1.41 version.exe to update the game(run it as an administrator) I do not get any response even after some minutes. I downloaded the version 1.50 to test it out and I can run it as administrator properly without any errors so it is not my windows system that has the problem.(Version 64). Is there anything that you would suggest me ?

PS: I downloaded the update 1.41 from two different links in case the one was broken, but they seem to work fine for other people...Is there any possibillity to ask for someone's bf2.exe and some other minor files that are already updated ?...- And, as long as I have bought legally the game, would that be considered piracy ?

Please, a help or at least a response would be pleasing, as I spent money and time to find the game in the CD Version.(( Couldn't find it in my city due to the age of the game , so I went in a "stockroom" and bought it from there, as it had no e-shop.))

If you did not understand something, inform me and I will clear it out for you.

Thank you in advance,
Orestis aka PatheticMonkey

Run BF2, and get to the main menu, it should tell you the version of BF2 you have running in the corner.

Also, the 1.41 installer is a huge compressed file, make sure your antivirus is not scanning it, as that could take a very long time for the program to start.

It is possible to find an image file of the BF2 Complete Collection CDs online. You can then use the directions here to input the CD Key you have inside your CD case: Battlefield 2 - Invalid CDKey Fix - Steam Users' Forums

Thank you for your response, I disabled my antivirus, re-downloaded it and the update seems to be working properly.
