After the PR logo appears for the first part of loading the game up (not the server)
It turns to a black screen and pulls up the error staticmesh.fx(2): error X1507: failed to open source file 'mods/xpack/shaders/datatypes.fx'
I have the netframework 3.5 sp1 and i have the core and levels (installed core first like said) and the BF2 1.50 patch too.
Help me figure this out please!

searching the forum its seems that reapplying 1.41 patch would fix this problem
did you install it in the first place?

i'd say running 1.41 and then 1.5 could fix your problem

This is an error with one of the BF2 expansion packs. Uninstall them and reinstall them maybe ? (it might be that the 1.5 patch has buggered them)

And try sniping cowards advice as well ... because it almost sounds like the expansion packs didn't get updated or something.
