Anybody else get a patching failed message when trying to update to the new patch or install Special Forces?  I've done everything I could, I even called up EA tech support and listened to them for an hour trying to install in safe mode and going as far as deleting everything Battlefield 2 manually including the shit in my regedit.  Still no luck.  This is severely pissing me off that I can't play this.  Please, anyone have advice?!!!

You're not suppost to install 1.12 until you install the expansion first.

Does the message come up after patching has begun? Or does it come up immediately after the installer is started? And do you have the downloaded version or harcopy?

Also, which drives do you have the normal BF2 installed on?

I had the same problem. I tried t update from 1.03 to 1.12 and after I started the patch I got a failure message. I reinstalled BF2 and tried to patch from 1.0 and the same message appeared. I was stubborn and tried to run the patch again and suddenly it worked.

so am i reading this correctly?  We need to buy bf2:sf and then download and install the new patch?  or can we just install the new patch and play?

just not sure thanks...

It doesn't matter if you install it before or after SF, other than you will have to install it again after you install SF. Everyone needs patch 1.12 whether they have SF or not.

With the CD/DVD copies, the minute you install it patches BF2 first, and then it installs BF2:SF (which contains version 1.1 or earlier) and then you need to patch it up to 1.12 again. This probably the reason why you need to patch it twice.

I know as the DVD copy I bought was version 1.1 and not 1.12. With version 1.1 (it said so on the screen), I could neither play regular BF2 1.03 or SF. So much for getting it on the shelves earlier than the rest of the world.

Where is the reset button at EA HQ, damnit!

WTF... I can't patch either. Seems like its MANDATORY to have at least 3GB on C drive. 'Nice' piece of coding EA/Dice... Are they stupid? Or they would lament that its the user's fault for not having a zillion Megs of free space? Having they ever heard of people using C as their PURE OS partition?!

I seriously dunno how you guys can sing so much praise for such sloppy coding/programming practices..

I get the same god damn error "Patching Failed" I got the same at ALL the patches I've tried to install, I got 1.03 working by installing the manual patch... I really REALLY hate these patches... I hope they'll release a manual patch very soon...

I know that. But if they have special forces there's no point in installing it before they install the expansion because they'll just be wasting their time. Do you get what I meant?

Where the fuck did everyone get the file from? I have a 2MB connection and every site I try and get the patch form is giving me 6kb/s download speed I realise this is because everyones trying to download it at once but did everyone really have to wait 4 to 8 hours for the file? and wtf is it with EA releasing 280MB patches! fucking retarded if you ask me.
