My new graphics card came this morning,x1800xt512,i fried my 6800 ultra256.Gave my computer a fresh install.First i installed battlefield then i installed special forces then i tried to install euro forces,it wouldn't let me so i installed the full 1.3 patch then euro forces.Battlefield works,so does special forces,when i go to play a euro forces map it loads then exits out saying i need to have unmodified content,revert back to normal bf2.The euro forces maps text are the colour green so i know euro forces has installed.Also when i join a squad then exit the squad it will not let me join another squad yet it lets me select the squad to view the members of the squad.Has anybody been having similar problems,this is really spoiling my gameplay.I want to download Armoured Fury tomoz but don't know whether to bother now. Has EA dealt me a bum deal or am i messing up with the patches somewhere,can't see it as i can play normal bf2 and sf without any problems apart from the squad selection.I'm getting really frustrated.

Try to check for drivers for your new card. Also, it is a good idea to re=patch, using the full patch, not the incremental.

dont know about the EF since i dont have that but the squad thing was a change they made in 1.3 if you wanna leave and then join you have to make sure you are alive. you cant join a squad if your dead. you need to spawn first then join a squad.

You need to uninstall everything then do this in this order:
1.) Install BF2
2.) Install BF2SF
3.) Patch the game to version 1.2
4.) Install EF

I put the 1.3 patch in again, it lets me play ef now,don't know if  the squad selection problem is still occuring.It wouldn't let me join anuva squad whether i was dead or alive.Looks like i'll be downloading af tomoz.Just hope there'll be enuff people playing it as ef servers with decent amount of people in seem to be a tad scarce.Thanks

Eveything fine now including squad selection,re-patching was the key.Will do the same tomoz when i have installed af.
