Anyone wanna create an FAQ for BF2 issues - so people don't have to create new threads or search the community for 30 min on their crappy DSL/shitty firewall which work won't let good normal pages through?

/end rant

That doesn't work and hasn't for a while now ever since they started encrypting them after patch 1.03, I think.

Dan, what I would do is go into the Support folder in your BF2 folder, open up "Battlefield 2_code", reenter the CD-Key, and then reapply the 1.41 and 1.5 patches to re-encrypt the key in your registry. I've done this before and it has worked. Worth a shot.
