Unless you run the latest patch you cant play on most of the ranked
servers anymore. for me thats bad as when i use patch v1.02 it keeps
booting me as saying i got modified content, please revert to an
official version!
Yes this patch file is from the official EA site!

You might be having trouble with Punkbuster updates. Check with
the punkbuster website.

Apparently this is a punkbuster-related issue. i ran a file i found
called PB-Setup that auto-updates PB for games. After i ran it i was
able to get into a game about 3 out of 10 tries. How do i make it 10
out of 10?

Battlefield 2. Is there any other right now? :cool:
I suspect that the server he is trying to get on has not yet made the jump
to the latest patch.

I wouldn't know; I've never played it nor its predecessor.

Pity. If you are an action-game fan, you are missing out on some great
fun. Try BF1942 first... in MP only. SP only for training. The bots
are nowhere as good as those in BF2... where a few real SP bugs
related to bot behavior still need to get sorted. A good broadband
connection for either game is mandatory.
