QuoteWell, since patch 1.03, xfire is broken and you can not connect to a bf2 server anymore. This is because bf2 now requires your username and password in the command-line when launching. Here's a quick fix until xfire updates:

- Go into your C:\Program Files\Xfire folder and open xfire_games.ini

- Find: [4578]

You should see something like this:
Code Select Expand
[4578] LongName=Battlefield 2 ShortName=bf2 Icon=bf2.ico LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\InstallDir LauncherExe=BF2.exe LauncherPasswordArgs=+password %UA_GAME_HOST_PASSWORD% LauncherNetworkArgs=+joinServer %UA_GAME_HOST_NAME% +port %UA_GAME_HOST_PORT% %UA_LAUNCHER_PASSWORD_ARGS% Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS% ServerStatusType=BF2 InGameRenderer=D3D9 InGameFlags=DISABLE_RELEASE|BLOCK_ASYNC ExcludeIPPorts=80,28910,29900,29901,29902,29903,29904- Under "Launch=" append +playername yourusername +playerPassword yourpassword

- It should now look like:

Code Select Expand
Code:Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS% +playername yourusername +playerPassword yourpassword
[CODE]

- Restart Xfire

It should work like normal now, and it even bypasses the annoying account screen at the start!
