I will describe the process completly and fully as to what happened to my BF2:

Note: I have not installed a patch or modified BF2 in anyway, it was workinf fine yesterday

I launch BF2
I click log in
I sit there for 10 mins
Nothing happens
I ctl+alt+del the program (it says it is still responding
I click end task

I try again,
I Launch BF2
I click log in
I go out to the shops for 2 hours
I come home
BF2 has not changed "connecting to account server"
I end the program

3rd attempt:
I use Xifre to launch game (i entered username/password correctly)
Black screen for a bit (as expected)
BF2 log-in screen appears with the error message "Server refused the connection"

I post error on the forums
I try all of the fixes i could find with the search button and all posted in this topic
I still can't log in

I completely uninstall BF2
I install BF2
I try to retrieve profile
BF2 says "connecting to account server"
BF2 stays the same forever, until i end task or hit the reset button

I give up and cry in a small corner

Some one talks to me on Xfire
We have conversation...
It turns out that anyone with Tiscali can not connect to account server
Theory is proved true by other users in this topic


Good luck with finding a Fix!

This fix:

Problem - Taking along time to login
Cause - Many
Fix - First of it could be slow internet connection or a problem with the account server. However try this to see if it reduces the login time. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\username*\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\000*, In there find the file called general.con and make a copy of it on your desktop as a backup. Now open the general.con file in my documents with notepad, and delete all server-history and server-filter.
GeneralSettings.setServerFilter ""
GeneralSettings.addServerHistory
but it didn't work for me

does anyone else have to reset their pc to get away from the logging in page?

my task manager doesn't come up.

it's like my pc is just stuck there.
if i get the server has refused the connection error i can quit, if not, its just connecting to server screen and stays there until i hit reset

I'm on Tiscali and haven't been able to connect since early this morning, i get time to play and this happens Grrrrrrr. p.s. i have unlimited so it shouldn't have a fair usage issue
Yeah I have unlimited also but there is a clause in the contract about you using too much bandwidth during peak times, so downloading large files, using file sharing or peer to peer for large files etc. should be kept to a minmum between 6-11pm. I know it sucks but that about sums tiscali up.
i didn't know that, but i doesn't matter as i dont download large files etc, unless its a game patch also been over 24hrs since i could login, any1 had any luck, going to phone tiscali today, fingers crossed.

I have found the cause of the problem (for my issue).

Apparently my ISP's connection to the BF2 servers is broken.

I am on tiscali (London, UK)

If anyone else is on this ISP they will not be able to play BF2 until the problem is fixed

Thanks to N)!(N 06Blackhawk for helping me work this out
Had exactly the same problem, Tiscali, Newcastle
