Install BF2, instal patch 1.03, make sure you have the latest drivers on soundcard and videocard. When BF2 keeps crashing shut off background programs like DownLoadAccelerator and F@H or any of those. Also your firewall can cause problems.

I just realised we've discussed this before.

If you don't want to keep putting your BF2 CD in and out of your PC in case you scratch it you can find instructions here (http://forum.deadmen.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9917&view=findpost&p=89393) on how you can avoid having to have to do so.

You can also find how to avoid having to watch all the videos every time you start.

I stress that the link is for people with a legitimate copy of BF2 who just don't want to have their CD being used all the time :)

Does it matter which one you d/l?

I d/l the reloaded one, as you don't need the daemon tool. Should I d/l the daemon one instead?

I'm using the Daemon NO Dvd Fix..Whats the diff with the Reloaded version ?

The Patch removing the startup movies for some reason didn't work for me but I Renamed all the files in mods\bf2\movies. Except menu.bik and menu_loggedin.bik

Works ok

reloaded version is just an exe file but it writes over the exe and a dll file, it just seemed less hassle. I haven't installed either yet. Just wondered what the general concensus is on which is the best one to install?

Title: About time
Post by: Anonymous on October 20, 2005, 04:44:43 PM

Best one is "Battlefield 2 [ALL] No-DVD/Fixed Image #2" because you never have to go looking for a patch again, it should work with all patches. I've used it since v1.01 and I've installed the official patches over the top without having to uninstall it.

basically do what it says. Install daemon tools and run it. Put the "mds" file somewhere on your PC and then point daemon tools towards it and allow it to mount it as a virtual DVD. I've had no probs with it running in the system bar
