Okay so first of all MitchS66, please take your time to read this and redirect the Players here: http://battlelog.co/po...d=15264&page=3#p44719. The Web Installer that you suggested can fail from time to time, you can read why here in the middle: http://battlelog.co/post.php?id=12183#p30060. It's better to go for the offline installer; either way the Web Installer will have to download the 90MB of legacy files and libraries so we might as well skip its "checks" - cause they tend to fail - and go for the offline installer instead. wink

jostotest, here's what we're gonna do: for the time being, 1) forget the Revive Launcher exists, 2) forget you have a secondary account and focus on getting your main one to work okay? Right.

Now, with this in mind you need to stop downloading the game over and over from battlelog. tongue Get the old Full Free2Play release and keep its .zip file. When you need to reinstall the game, there you have your clean installer! I don't know about you but it takes me a whole day to get a 2,7 GB file. :'D Here you go, grab anyone you want - PM me for the torrent - http://battlelog.co/post.php?id=10055#p26768.

Then, once you're done downloading that, follow steps 1 through 5 here (outdated post, don't link it anymore guys): http://battlelog.co/post.php?id=13522#p32413. Additionally uninstall "bf2 battlelog" from your Control Panel (it's our Revive Launcher by Spencer), and then make sure these folders do not exist anymore on your System:
 • C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\bf2battlelog
 • C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\bf2battlelog

A good idea now is to reboot your Computer, run the Registry scan of CCleaner (always backing up when it prompts you to do so, for safety) multiple times and reboot again just to be uber cautious. smile

Instead of following step 6 in the post above, read the instructions for Windows XP users that you can find in the Full Free2Play link I gave you previously. Eventually, after you've completed this amazing journey through the reinstallation of Battlefield 2 Revive - and setup of your main account only - you may test the game again by double-clicking on this file: C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe (no run as Admin, no compatibility flags ... Just make sure you're connected to the Internet - don't know why but for a small minority of users (like me) the game won't boot unless you're connected to the Internet).

If it does not work, perform the steps you've not done yet, here:

Thanks to all,
S.H.A.R.K, I did a complete reinstall of windows 7 64 bit, before i started. and tried all the things that people have given me, without any antivirus installed,Just to make sure that was not the problem,

I am Typing/reading this on my other machine , this is the one i use for everything except games.

Windows XP home 32 bit
ATI Radeon HD 5700 series
AMD Phenom II x 2 550 processor 3.1GHz
3 gig ram

Thinking of booting this with a Windows 7 disc that I have, and trying it in this as well.I had the other machine to play bf3, but hated it.

update on the games machine, fired it up, and just for fun clicked on the revive play now, and it connected, but again the window is about half the size it should be.

It will let me into game, but I think when I come out and shut down the launcher, it wont start up again, so strange,don't understand why it doesnt fit the screen either

I have gone in and out of game about 5 times now and it works every time , , but I know if i shut down the launcher it will not open again.

Tried to add a screenshot pic , here using S.H.A.R.K.'s tutorial, but it fills the whole screen. cant post it as i it covers all the buttons

Man you have to stop relying on the Launcher to play the damn game. wink After all it's ... a Launcher! You can launch the game on your own, can't you!? I showed you how. How about the other machine? Did you try it there?

Did you follow my long post above to the letter? I recall making a premise which was about forgetting the Revive Launcher exists. smile How about it? We're here to help man; don't give up!

I have three discs,
the original game disc,
Patch 1.41
patch 1.5

These have all worked every time there has been a problem or operating system change.
I think revive has changed something, and it wont work.
The long post you have made I think is too difficult for me, i'm a bit long in the tooth, and not too good with all this pc stuff.
I looked on the freeplay 2 site, and couldnt find bf2, so im foxed from the start.
think my bf2 days are over.

Oh man, I made the post as exhaustive as I could so that you could follow it without any doubts or misunderstandings! smile Often times at battlelog we've seen that installing from the discs can lead to problems; and installing Revive BF2 just like I told you solves the issue.

To apply your CD-Key follow these instructions; if you're not too keen on computer science then have the Revive Launcher do it for you, with the button in the Settings: http://battlelog.co/post.php?id=16014.

"Also got battlelog boot strap has stopped working"
As I told you, once you configure the game and you get it to run once from the Revive Launcher, you may as well create a direct shortcut to the game and you can boot it from there, no Launcher necessary (for the moment).

The path for the shortcut is the following, you'll have to log in manually in-game, with your battlelog.co account: C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2.
