I downloaded the new patch via EA Link, I hit "Install", I wait, it begins, then fails. I get a warning that says "Update failed", and that's it.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Yes, I've SEARCHED.

Doing it as we speak... I tried to start the game anyway, but once I loaded my soldier, I got the old CTD.

I'll update...

Did you have Beta, if you had it you can use incremental. If not you need to get Full.

Didn't have the Beta. Perhaps I should've...

Yay, after reinstalling and everything, I still get "Update failed"! Sigh... Any suggestions?

Looks like I got it right, followed a tip from a similar error with a BF2 patch:

Kind Samaritan wrote:

1. Double click the bf2patch_v_102.exe you downloaded, select you country and click Next.

2. Browse to your temp directory e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp and arrange icons by modified (note: you will need hidden folders to be visible - tools > folder options > view)

3. Open the folder with a name similar to {43604D32-1F10-4C64-A8F8-9324E19AF2C2} and copy all the files to C:\Patch (create this folder).

4. Click Start, Run, type CMD and press enter. At the command line type cd c:\patch and press enter. Then type patch.exe "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2" - or where ever you installed it.

The command Window will then display a load of text saying it's applying changes to files etc. It does take a long time to finish though...have registered on this forum and typed this post and it's only just finished.

The command Window will say once it has finished - close it, along with the patch installer and go play Battlefield 2!

By the way, this is for the Patching Failed error.
Had to alter some things, but hey, it worked! +1 for everyone who took their time to reply, though .

Also, I'd like to add that you want to make sure you have a lot of spare hard drive space handy in case the game resources need to be extracted, modified, and recompiled.

In short? Have about 5GB or more free on your Windows drive.

Make sure you have around 1GB of free space or more on your hard drive. I was getting the same problem till I freed up some space.
