well i re-instaled the patch. Now when i go to join a server it just comes up with a blank screen, then after 5 mins my attempt to connect times out and then it logs back on the BF2 login screen.

Any help please?

Im starting to think this is a waste of my time and shouldnt be this hard

na it shouldnt be that hard. personally i would start from sctrach. make sure u have ur passwords. then un-install it all then reinstall. when u reinstall put bf2 then the expansion then the 1.12 patch.

i would download a fresh copy just to be sure the crc is correct.

EDIT make sure u have no viruses before dl the patch or reinstalling. that should caue major problems.

aye, Its no biggy really, It doesnt bother me.
I usually just disable anti-virus before joining and leave FW on.
With idling in irc in lots of channels Id rather keep fw on tbh.

re installed everything and d/l a fresh patch. I still have the problem where I click to join a server and it crashes BF2, then goes to a black screen for 2 mins. Then comes up with "server refused your connection" or the like. This has never happened before until i installed the expansion. I get this error message and it reverts me back to the login page

So i dunno if i installed everything correctly since i cant connect

yeah i just tunred it off. Ok, if i try to connect after i get this black out is is ok. The problem is it STILL does not recognize that i have the expansion or whatever is giving me the error i have post in the opening post.

What the hell else can i do?

Un installed EVERYTHING and installed it all again, done.

thinking of just getting a refund now even if it is £15

i play everyday and last played last night

the game is fine and has been since i got it. The problem is I cant connect to SF servers because of the error message i post at the top.

I started to install SF today at 6pm GMT, been wasting my ime on here since. Its now 2245 GMT and have gotten nowhere. its pissing me off coz it SHOULDNT be this hard to play a god dam game. The problem aint with my spec or anything. Its with the patching that ive tried re-doin 2 times now

go to community and then choose the section option(I dont remember what it is) there u should see bf2 1.12 and bf2:sf 1.12. choose the sf one and it will restart the game. if u dont see that option then it didnt patch correctly.
