My dad bought BF2 as a new online game for me and him to play, since we'd both gone off CS:S and Wolfenstein ET. Anyhow, he installed the game on his windows account, and we had no problems - I ran the shortcut from my account, he ran the shortcut from his account.
When we patched to 1.03, I installed the patch to my windows account, thus meaning that upon trying to connect to a server, I am told my CDKey is invalid.
The solution on the EA forums didn't work for me, so we began to play around in the support folder of BF2. We found a little exe that lets you type in your CDKey, then if you do that, click okay, then run the solution program that is on the EA forums, it would run fine. Only thing is, we have to do this every time we want to play, and we can't be bothered to reinstall.
Anyhow, through this repeated typing-in of CDKey, we have both learned the CDKey off by heart. Should I be worried? It strikes me as slightly weird...
