Re: BF2 patch 1.41 and 1.50
Make sure you have the FULL 1.41 patch:
BF2 not updated to v 1.41 before patching with v1.5
FULL update 1.41
Final v1.5
Some have posted updating with the
1.5 update
Sometimes does not complete, but looks like it does.
To find your version of BF2
run PR in 'windowed' mode
Look at the upper left corner
you should see
v.1.5.3153-802.0
Good luck

[R-COM]thepalerider: Just wanted to say thanks, was having BF2 CTD after the splash screen on a 32-bit Win 7 machine. Just applied your solution and now it's running without a hitch. Cheers.

My bad.It wasn't my list, it was from a post by kilroy0097.
I should have posted a link to How to Fix your Punk Buster MD5 Issues - Step by Step.
It was his excellent work and
I hope he will forgive my oversight in not giving credit where credit is due.

Its always good to use a download manager or torrent client to prevent file corruption when downloading.
Use MD5 or other check sums to verfiy the files' integrity.
