New User - Trouble patching from 1.1 to 1.41

PFunk · 03-30-2008, 09:16 PM

SO I finally got BF2 and I got it installed today. I got the Deluxe Edition so that means that it comes bundled with the SP booster (annoying that you can't choose to not install it).

I downloaded the full sized 1.41 patch and proceeded to install it. It took a while to load but then it started... and then took a while to get past 0% and then did the same thing halfway through. But in the end it finished and said it was successful.

But when I run the game the game still reads as 1.1.2965-797.0

Now I read in my google searching that apparently when I install the Deluxe it'll start at version 1.1 so I assume then that the patch somehow hasn't worked.

Is this an error or has the patch failed somehow? I have read issues about installing 1.41 altogether but for me this doesn't seem to be as common a problem.

I don't want to have to spend hours installing PR and tweaking it just to learn that its the patch's fault. Any help would be appreciated.

I am having the same problem as above with the 1.41 Bf2 Patch but I can get into games and play.

Well an update would be that I read somewhere on the internet that someone said they had the same issue but that they swore that they still had it patched to 1.41 even though theirs still read 1.2.

So I went ahead and installed PR, the core files and levels, and then I loaded it, all fine, then tried to join a server... all fine (except my PC is slow

).

So I wanna know if its possible that I COULD have PR 7.5 installed while I still don't have it patched to 1.41.

I have noticed some graphical flickering. And I'm not sure but I dont seem to have Mutrah City in my list... is there a difference between 7.56 levels and the older ones?

Somehow you've probably managed to install 1.41 patch succesfuly. I've tried to install .708 without BF2 being patched, and PR installer broke in process. After I've patched BF2, PR installed just fine, as usual.

Yeah, no Muttrah in .756, it's still being polished for some next release, search dev's journal, you can find out lots of stuff about next-gen PR there.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering about Muttrah since I had seen many vids on youtube of it and wanted to practise my flying (Helos of course). I found a few good levels for that.

It seems to work fine for me now. I just need to tweak settings so that it wont lag out online.

Cheers
