Anyone currently playing BF2? I've just re-installed it & applied 1.41 patch then 1.5 patch. Got to admit with the new maps & free expansion packs EA have put some new life into the game :)

Not sure where I've put my copy. May well reinstall though, as my mates won't be getting MW2 due to cost and removal of dedicated servers...

sounds like your punkbuster is out of date and stuck this happens alot do a google search for pbsetup and that should sort it out or i could attach the zip file here if i am alowed and anyone wants it?.

also i noticed the link to To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. is way out of date we changed the name a long time back lol called damgn.com now but site is in a right mess and only about 3 of us that use it now.

got 2142 on day of release and altho i thought the graphics were great i never could get on with the game play, seemed like they packed too much into the maps and the idea of hover tanks just seemed mad lol.
gave my copy away years ago but was thinkin about getting another copy the other day and givin it another go.

I played 2142, but as you say, hovering tanks lol! Bit too futuristic for me.

My favourite of the BF series has got to be BF1942 and I'm looking forward to BF1943 being released early next year.

already pre ordered 1943 just hope it lives up to the rest of the series and as well as pre ordering 1943 i also bought 2142 via the ea downloader for ?4.99 that i thought was a right bargin!
i can also confirm that 2142 works sweet on windows 7 same with the ea downloader.

Have to say 1943 is pretty good on xbox,easy pick up and play game and also highly addictive trying get your stats awards ;)

never had a xbox360 never even had an xbox tbh but i have been looking into getting one just lately, all the battlefield games seem to be coming out on them first, think using the control pad instad of a keyboard puts me off abit lol.

Collider

hmm a pound is alot for a lucky bag isnt it :)

But back to topic it runs ok on xbox so might be worth a try,also on ps3 but im pretty sure its the same on ps3 just controls might be slightly different

after about half an hour of playing 2142 online under win 7 pb kicked me tryed to rejoin and kicked me again tryed another 3-4 times and same thing, tryed the manual pb update and that never worked so in the end the way i got round it was to install the game in compatibility mode xpsp2 and run as admin checked too.
so far this has worked turns out punkbuster has still not sorted out compatibility for win 7 but i do remember it took them ages to sort out vista too.

It should work fine just running the game as administrator. Least it does in W7 x64.

yeah it not the game it self that runs great under win 7 if you play single player or a unranked map its when the server you are playing on is punkbuster enabled, punkbuster kicks you as it aint compatile with win 7 yet.
i had a look on the EA and the punkbuster web sites and their is no support for this os just yet.
the only two ways i have got the game to run online on a ranked map is by using WVP in XP mode or installing the game in compatibility mode XP sp2 and run as admin checked.
even updating pb with the pbsetup progam never helped b4 i reinstalled, yet with bf2 all i had to do was update the pb manually.

got cod4 and crysis to try next just wondering what fun i am going to have with them lol.

I had problems with punkbuster.

I deleted some files from the pb folder. Downloaded an app called pbsvc.exe used it to uninstall PB. Used the auto updater to reinstall it. The used the pbsvc.exe to reinstall and check the services.


All ok now... i hope.

i use the pb service setup everytime i install any game that uses pb and then keep pb up to date manually with pbsetup, i know pb ment to keep its self up to date but from what i found with both vista and win 7 is that it just dont.

Must admit, not had any issues here. Have you set the game to run as administrator? Right click over program in menu, select properties > compatibility tab > check the box run as administrator.

the only thing i did extra was to go into the PB folder and give all the .dll files 'full control' in the security tab. Bit of a pain as they had to be done 1 by 1
