Yep. Got it working now.

Install old, download HDUI files and turn on. Then run the new launcher.

I've emailed Air-Zen for you in any case:

Hi Air-Zen,

I hope you are well.

So a new member of my community would like to use the ULauncher. Unfortunately, he's having some trouble so I'm trying to help him,

Essentially, he would like the HD HUD but unfortunately he is getting kicked for modified content warnings. I am aware of the modified content information you provided on ulauncher.tk.
Unfortunately though, Punkbuster is useless these days for BF2 and Battlelog no longer includes PB by default with the launcher / BF2 install. For this reason I don't think anyone is going to switch off the modified content checks and use the PB MD5 alternative.

What this means is of course, he's getting kicked when he tries with the HD UI enabled.

My suggestion to him is to install the old launcher first because as far as I know, this one will manually install the HD HUD files to the BF2 install directory. Then he can run the new ULauncher and have the HD HUD without the need to use the HD UI option. Is this correct?

If not, could you please offer a different solution because we would still like these nice features on non-PB servers with the sv_consistency 1.

Cheers,

5tarLine

There is a download link for the old ULauncher right at the bottom: https://drive.google.c...DX6_aAL4P7LTFqRFpySkdmUFU
pass = bf2

Can you put this in your BF2 main install directory. Then try and run it and click the install / install HDUI or something along those lines.

Hopefully this should do the trick.

If not we can ask for some support from Air-Zen.

Enabling it get's me kicked. 5starLine mentioned that I maybe could install the older version to get the HD thingy stick, but only older version I could find was HDUI1.4 and it's password protected. And it's not the default bf2 password.

Also I belive I noticed some lag/rubberband/stutter with multicore/thread enabled, but I will test more this weekend.

So if anyone have an idea how to get HD UI working I will be superhappy!


I will try to help you with it this weekend. On my old laptop the multicore didn't run so well either, I really don't think it's necessary to use this, you don't really need multicore to run an old game like this.

I'm surprised version 2.0 doesn't install the HD Hud by default. Are you sure it's not just your eyesight? smile (Sorry, couldn't help myself).

I'll ask Air-Zen what's going on.

--EDIT--
http://ulauncher.tk/EN/manual.html

Read the part about High-Definition UI. It won't let me copy it, selecting is disabled. So the HD UI also includes the HUD as far as I can tell, it's not just the menus.

If you read the part at the bottom of the page it will explain about modified content kicks. Unfortunately, what has been totally forgotten here is that PB is useless and nobody should use it anymore.

I think your best bet is going to be doing what I did and actually installing the HD Hud files with the old ULauncher.

Well yeah; I forgot to edit my post here after I actually noticed your thread on battlelog.co had all the informations.
Still, I'll only download it for the moment and make it rest in my software repository for the time being. U.U

I heard Air-Zen fell out with the Battlelog staff.

Well I just found out that I was mistaken and hadn't heard about a new version of the ULauncher. Air-Zen just PMed me and I must say it's really nicely done, simple and very easy for the user to use different options. Also the login to the Battlelog network is much quicker than it used to be with the old version. Most importantly, the server list is showing up once again!

Trying all the different features is now much easier, just a click of your mouse button in the options before you boot the game.

It can be downloaded here if you are looking for it:

Just put it in your main BF2 Folder like before.
