My friend's BF2 is not installing. It installed and worked fine at first, and he played for a bit in singleplayer. Then he tried to install the patch and it was going slow and he was impatient, and ended up installing it like 3 times or something and messed his game up. So he un-installed and tried to re-install the game, but now it has errors saying there is an error loading some files. One is common_client.zip, I think one is font_something.zip, etc. It asks you if you want to retry, and if you hit no it continues to install, but when you try to start the game the screen goes blank and does nothing.

We have tried restoring to an earlier date, nothin, deleted BF2 and patch numerous times, deleted the folder in My Documents, nothing is working. We even tried my discs to see if maybe his were damaged, and it had the same errors.

The only thing we can think of is to format his harddrive, but that would be a real PITA right now because someone his mom knows built the computer, and never gave him the discs for drivers and so on.

His computer is an Intel Pentium 4 3.66GHz with 1024mb of RAM, GeForce 4 fx6600 256mb video card is all I know from the top of my head.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

the files its asking for is an image pack and a font pack. they should be in the directory Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2.
U can try uninstalling bf2 in safe mode then rebooting back to reg mode and installing again. be sure to clear the system cache/temp folders.

Well I tried that but it wasn't there as we haven't installed it again since it messed up. I tried deleting BF2 folders from the registry, but that didn't help either. Now it's got an error with BFMC.exe...

Gonna attempt to format tonight, so hopefully that fixes it.
