Battlefield2 1.5 patch download

This entry was posted on Nov 02 2009

I love Battlefield2, but I’ve not played it in a long time. It’s a great game and really rewards teamplay. Some people find it buggy, but I’ve never had any problems, until now that is.

The problem was that there is a new patch available (1.5), and it’s big, a massive 2GB! In order to install the 1.5 patch, you need a full 1.41 patch, that comes in at 500MB! When you’re on a fixed bandwidth connection, like with Sky or BT, you might only have a 2GB download limit per month, downloading the patch will put you over!

I had loads of problems trying to get everything to work, I had the game installed, tried the patches, but the 1.41 patch didn’t seem to do anything. I then installed the 1.5 patch afterwards and it seemed to go on fine. Loaded the game up but it still reported as version 1.0, Odd. It turns out that after a whole load of checking everything (hardware, registry, internet, CD keys) that my problem was the 1.41 patch didn’t download correctly and was corrupted. Once I downloaded it again everything went smoothly! Installed it, then 1.5 afterwards, started the game, logged in everything was great! Then I got an ‘invalid CD key notice’, turns out that your CD key needs to be encrypted in your registry. If you get this message, try the tool on BF2S

Let me know how you get on!
