My computer took literally 15 minutes after clicking the install icon for it to actually start installing. Good thing I left it because I was one step away from redownloading it.

I need help with this stupid patch. I have 3 Hard drives , 2 internal and 1 external. I have my game in the external which is 500 GB but it keeps telling me that there isn't enough space. My C drive only has about under 2 GB left and D drive has about 40 GB left. Anyone have any answers? solutions? ideas? magic? voodoo? anything?

go to hypernia and d/l the *.exe..this is the download manager. PUT IT ON THE DRIVE WITH ROOM!

when you run it, be careful, on one of the boxes will be somewhere you can change the install directory for the patch itself...make sure it's on the full drive.

Oh, another problem might be it's using your C drive as a temp drive as it d/l's the patch.....clear out your windows temp files, IE temp files, winRAR temp files, etc etc.

I had the same problem along with "You have a newer version already installed".

It did not give me the option of where to install, it was all automatic. The stupid patch was installing to AIX, in a completely different drive, and that was just where I downloaded AIX and unzipped it to put it in BF2, then at the same time said I didn't have enough space, so it didn't completely finish the install, but I did have enough space on that drive.

I tried to install again and it said I already had a newer version, which I did not.

After doing some fact finding, the problem was that the registry install directory for BF2 was all fubard and pointing to the AIX download location, why? don't know, ask the patch install creator.

So I had to manually change the directory in the registry, this should work, although in my case with EA Download manager, I had to uninstall, remove all the files, reinstall BF2, then put patch back in, to get the BF2.exes to work after.

Look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Electronic Arts / EAGAMES / Battlefield 2 /

and then look off to the right at the InstallDir file and the path next to it, also the Version file will be in there, if it's still 1.4 then the patch went some place else according to that path.

Hope this helps some one!
