No, just closed FRAPS. I later updated to latest FRAPS And that works fine.

I just installed PR 87, got into a game and got this.

I've never had this problem before.

I'm running Win 7RC 64bit, 4gigs RAM, 8800 GT

After about 15 minutes in a server, I got the same error. WHYYYY. Why couldn't Dice just leave the game alone and forget about it? Now we have to suffer from alt-tab problems, md5sum mismatches, and other weird issues.

Chances are the server you are trying to join didn't update their md5 files. Though, you could confirm that you actually have that file in your root battlefield 2 folder.

Well what do you know. It wasn't! I went to the 1.41 folder and copied it over...maybe it will work now

Also, it doesn't make sense if your 1.41 folder has the file but 1.5 does not. How did you install everything?

I actually did a full, fresh install, and in my efforts to try and fix my alt-tab problem, I patched BF2 1.0 straight to 1.5. That didn't work so I went and installed the 1.41 patch, then installed the 1.5 patch again. Everything is working fine now, although the alt-tab problem still remains.

I get MD5Tool Mismatch something about kozelsk/client.zip
Figured out that the problem for me is caused by Skype. Whenever Skype is running i keep getting this error every 20 min or so.

Infact today i was playing, and i opened Skype and the second Skype opened it gave me that error.
I did some testing turning off skype, i ran smoothly all day yesterday. Then i opened skype and in 20 min i was kicked.

Hope this helps, if noone has not noticed this yet...

I get booted with an MD5 mismatch continually, always on coredll.dll. I definitely haven't tampered with it before, and this only happens after BF2's 1.5 patch. Has anyone else experienced this?

Feels like the best option is to install BF2 on a different machine and then copy over the DLL. (It'll save me installing at least 1.5 again, although I still need to patch it to 1.41. *Sigh*). Since that will waste a lot of time, maybe someone could (if it's legal, of course) share their own pristine 1.5 coredll.dll?
