I thought it might be related to the DirectX 9.0c update program, but when I tried the installation again, it went fine. At the end, Vista had a blue screen – I don’t know why. The page told me to reinstall BF2 – so I uninstalled the game, and started the installation. The other one lead me to a page of frequent BF2 issues, and I found a few pages relevant to my problem. It has two search functions on the front page, one of which does not work at all. Today I took the time to go and have a look at EA’s support site. Update 27/04/09: Guess what?! A friend of mine had this exact same problem – then managed to get around it by right-clicking Battlefield 2.exe and choosing “Run as administrator”. It would be great if you can post your experience below if you too have this problem.
EAs techie did not mention Vista as a possible problem factor, so apparently, if Vista is the problem they are not aware of it. It could be that the cause is something else, but it looks like a real possibility to me that there is a problem with Vista compatability and BF2. Update 24/05/07: Guess what? I installed Windows XP, went through the exact same troubleshooting as described below, and now the game works. I installed the game under Windows Vista a few months back, but when trying to join a server, I was informed that “Your CD key is not valid”. Right now I am seriously pissed off about EA, DICE and Battlefield 2.
