Thread: Need some help installing bf2

Convinced a cod buddy of mine to buy bf2, now he can't install it.

Its a legit copy, with expansions.

Keeps getting md5 error when both on autorun and when installed manually.

Yes, we've tried googling before anyone feels it necessary to be a smartass

thanks for the help

I had issues once because I was running disk keeper in the background and it was moving files around when they installed and causing problems. Turn off everything!

its still not wanting to install right, so i installed it on another computer and transfered the game files over to this one threw a external hd. and its working for the most part. i think i might have some bad RAM, does anyone know of a program to test if i do? and that tells which one it is?

Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Scroll down to the downloads section.

Any way to do it without a floppy or a cd?

no.. you need bf2 installed in the registry on the computer you want to play with.

I would try copying all the files off the disks and burning them on to a new disk.

i installed the game on my computer but i ignored the errors and then copied the files over, so my computer thinks it had the game on it

i ordered 2CDs they both dont work. im pretty sure its a RAM issue

Do a memtest!

ive been tryyyyyyying to help him. he can play stock maps, except ones with the essex. so its not his ram, its corrupt files, and a bad patch. (my diagnosis)

Yea, the EA patcher will even crap out if you have a too high overclock. It's really sensitive.

I suggest you take one stick out and try to install it now. And RMA the stick if you can.

Download Hirens Boot CD, it has everything and then some.

The most retarded thing about him is that he likes COD.

That logic Sounds good to me,lol




update: took one sick of RAM out, the game installed, but when i went to go patch it would not allow me. the same error came up, so i took both RAM sticks out and replaced them both, the game installed and was able to open in v1.0 patch. so im currently installing BF2:Special forces and patching to v1.1 threw that, and ill update on how things go.
