    Had to use compatibility mode to get it to run on windows 7 but besides that no problems. Which is great because 1.41 caused me nothing less hair on my head.

    First time trying out the Euro Forces maps, great wall is a great sniper fest.
    You'd think things would have changed.

    Still near impossible to find a Karkand/Mashtuur NORMAL server...i.e. WITH vehicles.

    Stupid INF Only ruined that game.

    Ya personally would have liked the option to disable arty or even the commader but leave vehicles. UAV removes any tactics when your in a good squad. You can try to be as sneaky as you want but they pretty much know where you are....and then drop arty on you :)

    There are a couple of German servers running 24/7 Karkand inf but with a no commander rule which is enforced in the evenings when there are admins on.

    BF2 was great all right - but Project Reality made it so much better I actually cant play the priginal game any more. www.realitymod.com, you'll never go back ;) Free too.

    Sweet, might have look for those in a few. Any ideas of IPs or names?

    I have just built myself an i7 rig at the weekend.

    I installed windows 7 64 and i think its a great os. The only issue i have is that i am unable to apply the BF2 patch 1.5. I have the game patched to 1.41 fine.

    when i run the setup.exe the process appears in the task manager for a few seconds then disappears and nothing happens. i have tried running as admin and tried compatibilty mode with vista SP1 & SP2 same with XP. i also tried to intall the patch in safe mode.

    I am trying to think of solutions cant find anything with google. i read in another tread this morning and heard that dx9 is not intalled in windows 7 and you have to do it manually, im not sure if this will fix the issue as i run other dx9 games fine and i did run dxwebsetup.

    next thing to try is uninstall BF2 and try again

    I don't know what's up but I can assure you that both the patch and BF2 works fine under Win7.

    I had some trouble with the 1.5 patch.

    Had to install 1.4 first before 1.5, then had to edit my registry as it wasnt pointing to the correct location

    If you plan on keeping windows 7 for a while...maybe create a new partition with XP, and install certain games onto a shared drive with XP. Then boot up 7 and run them.

    Its worth having XP aswell in case you run into any problems with any application

    every time i try to run the game it restarts my computer. :(

    tried re-installing, different patches, to no avail.

    all other games are fine.

    really want to play.

    Gotta also recomend FH2. Its one of the best mods I've ever played, so good that it actually improves BF2 by leaps and bounds.

    It captures the essence of BF1942 with an impoved engine, huge but well designed maps, and a nice level of realism. The Normandy maps are top notch. They have working flags in order to create push type game play, kit restrictions in place and the rock paper scissors game play we all love from the BF2 series is back.

    Amazing that the FH guys can make a better game than EA/Dice, but they have, watch them get snatched up by a studio and FH being released as a full game imo.

    If you have BF2 and hate it, reinstall it as a vessel for this great mod!

    FH2 is fantastic, I'm really enjoying it. MG42's are lethal.

    Turn off UAC. I had the same problems installing any patches, until I turned off UAC.

    Instructions on how to do it: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/30/how-to-disable-and-turn-off-uac-in-windows-7/

    Once UAC is off, you'll also have less probelms with Windows 7.

    Theres a few of us TiG guys play FH2 most nights. Outstanding mod that really changes the BF2 game play. Its no longer run and gun, you have to really take your time and use cover etc.
