BF2CDKEYCHECK.EXE

**Kanati** · 08-02-08, 04:13 PM

Since installing Vista Ultimate 64 bit after a cpu/mobo/ram upgrade, I've been unable to install my downloaded content from EA. Which includes Special Forces, Euro Forces, 2142, Northern Strike. I have been trying this from the backed up copy of the EA Downloader cache directory. Unfortunately it's been a bust even after dealing with EA's support guys. I just continually got an error that bf2cdkeycheck.exe had stopped working and the install would abort.

As a last resort, I reinstalled the EA Downloader and redownloaded the special forces pack. It worked.

Moral of the story? I'm not sure that installing from the cache directory that I backed up is viable. Has anyone else gone through a full reinstall of windows and installed from their EADM cache without redownloading?

*raises hand* You might also want to talk with soysoldier Kanati... he had many good tips for getting our favorite game/s working on vista64... on that note, they do tend to crash more with 64 b ut seem more stable on vista32 (having tested em both ways)

How did you get to install EA downloader/EA link?

I tried installing it on my OS -- Vista x64 Business and it wouldn't take. Then I did some research and found it everyone saying it only works on XP.

I just went to EA Store and there's a link for "get ea downloader" and it installed with no problems.

Your issue was rare on 64 bit and almost never happened on 32 bit. I have never had the issue on my Vista Buisiness 32-bit. EA and Vista are not friends, they don't like each other very much.

Does anyone like EA very much?

I'll try again.

I've bought need for speed off the EA Link and I wanna play it on my wall (I've got a movie theatre in my living room via DLP projector using my wall ie: 12 foot screen) cause I think it would be really cool. I also play AudioSurf on my wall. BF games are cool too -- but ya.

Oh I tried 2142 today - gave me a headache so I uninstalled it.
