One question. Would I download the 1.3 patch, then open my EA Downloader to install it?
i guess u could
You could download the patch with the EA downloader I think. I don't know, the EAD is a retarded POS in my opinion.

You have to download it through EA downloader after that you have to run it of in EA downloader
Well the only reason I'm using it is because a normal download with the 1.3 screws up and I get the 'patching failed' message all the time.
When I log into the EA Downloader, it shows My Downloads, which is a bunch of movies (that I have never even seen :S), but it doesn't show what I can download, like patches and such.

i think you have to buy one of the boosters for the battlefield 2 stuff to show up...

Help? On my EA Downloader, it just says My Downloads, it shows nothing about downloading from EAD.
Do I download the patch, and then install from EAD?
Help!

Anyone? I don't wanna make a new thread just so someone answers, please help me guys.
Since you already tried to patch with 1.3 then it might not show up in the EA DL. Check the files section here on this site and see if the full 1.3 client is there if not go to maybe filefront to get the full 1.3 and run it. Dont even mess with the EA downloader you dont need to use it.
Go here---> http://files.bf2s.com/files.php?cat=5
Download the full 1.3 client patch and run it from where ever you save it to.

Well I tried installing the patch several times, and it continues to say 'Patching Failed'
I still don't know how to fix that.

Here might be a good place to start.

If you get the "patching failed" message while applying the patch we've found that in many cases it's caused by a single issue.
Following tests here at EAUK this morning the issue in many cases seems to be caused by the installation directory chosen.
If you chose a custom directory during initial installation and added a trailing slash to the link (for example E:\EA Games\Battlefield2\) the patch will not install correctly. If you installed to the same place without the trailing slash (E:\EA Games\Battlefield2) you should not have any problems.
To fix the problem with your installation you can either reinstall (which is the easier solution) or edit the following registry entries :
In:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{04858915-9F49-4B2A-AED4-DC49A7DE6A7B}]
The InstallLocation field’s data of : X:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2" must not have a backslash at the end.
As is the same for InstallDir field in:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2]
Please do not edit your registry if you are not sure what you are doing. We cannot be held responsible for any problems which occur as a result of incorrectly altering your registry. If you are uncertain for any reason please use the reinstallation method to fix your problem.

I'm going to install the patch again. And I'm pretty sure that last few times I tried, I didn't have a slash at the end.
Do I install it in the Battlefield 2 folder, or the EA Games folder?
