BF2 patching error

Hi,

I dl'ed patch 1.5 from several locations now, however, everytime I try to install it, it says I already installed a newer version, while I haven't patched since 1.41. I don't know how it comes, I could re-install, but if there's a quicker fix I'd appreciate it more.

It's really frustrating since I can't play PR or FH2, since both require the new patch.

Regards,

Monkey.

I think you answered your own question.

If not.

Uninstall all BF2 files and mods.
Reboot
Install as PR 0.87 install Instructions

The problem comes from not having a registry entry for "Version." Open regedit and go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2

(64 bit)

or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2

(32 bit)

right click in the left section of the window, and go to New -> String value. Type Version and press enter. After that, double click the Version entry, and in the "Value data:" field put 1.4.

Now try running the 1.5 patch again.
