i installed 1.4 and now when i click the icon it says some shit about shaders and all and makes all the colours go weird on my screen
thats nothing, i wiped the coolant goo off my CPU. *Ummm fried computer....*
Did you back up your install like you were instructed to in the readme file that came with the patch? If so, just delete the 1.4 version and try it again.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
The 1.4 patch comes with a Word file that explains how to back up your install in case something like this happens (there are only 2 files there, the patch and another named READ ME FIRST) kinda hard to miss. Since you made no backup, you are probably going to have to reinstall the whole game (only this time, back it up BEFORE installing 1.4).david363 wrote:

Sorry, but thats your best option at this point.
Edit: Here is what the file says about backing up:
Installation steps to protect your original BF2 install:
Beta Installation
Go to “C:\Program Files\EA GAMES”
Right click the “Battlefield 2” folder and choose “Copy”
Right click anywhere away from this folder and choose “Paste”
Once the copy has completed, you will have two folders named “Battlefield 2” and “Copy of Battlefield 2”
Install the patch 1.4 beta, then start the game as normal
When you wish to switch back to the release version of BF2, use the following steps:
Go to “C:\Program Files\EA GAMES”
Right click the “Battlefield 2” folder and choose “Rename”
Rename the folder to something like “Battlefield 2 Beta”
Right click the “Copy of Battlefield 2” folder
Rename the folder the “Battlefield 2”
Start the game as normal.
The shortcut will run BF2.exe from whichever folder is named “Battlefield 2” and both installations share the same registry entries.
Using the above steps will negate the need to completely uninstall and re-install whenever you wish to switch from the retail version to the beta version and vice versa.

if you looked the patch brought up a screen and had a read me file that says look here first it tells you how to copy the file to make a backup.david363 wrote:

Why don't ppl read the readme files?!?!!?!?
Well they should title them better. Something like README. Oh wait...VeNg3nCe^ wrote:

ReadMe files should be named "Free hot girly pics just for you"
Maybe then people would read them.

lol I sure would...but i change lots of shit on my files so i kinda alreayd knowz to back up your BF2 other wise have fun reinstalling and repatching, or thats what a whittle biody tolled me...
Sorry Dave, but holy shit this topic is funny. My guess would be do a reinstall. Then remember.....
BF2 WAS A BETA TEST. WE ARE TESTING 2142 FOR THEM. SO NONE OF THIS BETA TEST PATCH CRAP.
All you pricks who are on about coolant paste just remember, some of us don't have great cpus so STFU and stop making me jealous.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
No no, because their daddies would probably catch them and go "ohh.....what the hell is this son??!!!!"4_Phucsache wrote:

And the kid would run away crying saying "i cant, i just cant! My balls havent dropped yet!"
I doubt a older guy wouldnt read the ReadMe so im guessing its for "younger" kids.
