Patching Problems

david murray · 07-26-2006, 05:54 PM

Hey guys,

I`m looking for advice on patching BF2.

Whenever i try to install a FULL VERSION of a patch [eg. 1.2 or 1.3] i end up getting an error message: "PATCH FAILED".

I`ve tried to do this umpteen times and have noticed that it usually happens when it gets to about 11% of a file called bf2\Objects_client.zip. Then the patching ends with the failure. This is about 8% into the patching overall.

I CAN play the game in SP and even patch from 1.01 up to 1.12 but whenever i try to run the game after the patching failure i just get a crash to desktop or another error message concerning shaders\lightning.

I`ve updated my g-Card drivers and i have 40GB of HD spare, so i know it can`t be that.

Any ideas?

cheers

I had this same problem, I uninstalled and just downloaded a 1.2 full patch, then did one or two incrementals.

Good luck

I assume you already have directx 9.0C on your system and other drivers like tose of your soundcard are all pretty much up to date. Since you mention some error about shaders then it mgiht be your graphicscard not supporting shadermodel 2.0 which is the absolute minimum of the gamerequirements.

Please tell us what type of videocard you currently own and don't forget to try the 1.4 beta patch to see wheter that one works located here

Thanks for the replies guys.

i havent tried the 1.4 beta patch coz my clan runs 1.3.

My G-Card is an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO, not brand new, but not ancient ;)

It ran BF2 until the 1.2 patch came out, i recently came back to the game to see if i could get 1.3 to work.

Also as i said it runs the SP game without patches so i don`t see how it could be that...

I can get as far as installing the 1.12 patch but when i try to run the 1.12 to 1.2 incremental or 1.2 patch on it`s own i get the Patching Failed message. Same with the 1.3 patch.

I will try the 1.4 beta patch next.

cheers
