MaydaX Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 EA sent me this a while back it may help you as well: This error usually indicates an error in the Windows registry after a game patch is installed. To resolve this, you will need to enter your CD key again using a Utility called Battlefield 2_code.exe. Please follow the steps below: 1. Double Click My Computer. 2. Double Click the C: drive. 3. Double Click the Program Files folder. 4. Double Click the EA Games folder. 5. Double Click the Battlefield 2 folder. 6. Double Click the Support folder. 7. Double Click the file called 'Battlefield 2_code'. 8. Enter your CD key into the boxes provided and click 'Next'. NOTE: Disregard the error about the image not loading on the left hand side.

MaydaX Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 I found this: Thanks to a couple of responses from readers this morning we've found a distinct problem with the latest patch for Battlefield 2. It looks like the 1.03 patch encrypts the CD-key value in the windows registry. Most likely this is done to avoid the theft of CD-keys by malicious software while you're playing online. It's a clever move. Unfortunately, it looks like this encryption of the CD-key is specific to the Windows User Account that was used to install the patch. If any other Windows user attempts to play the game on the same machine they are given a message saying the key is invalid. So far we haven't been able to contact EA for comment. Thanks to Breen Oullette for his detailed description of what seems to have gone wrong on his machines. I used the Battlefield 2_code to re-enter my cd-key since i reformated windows and was too lazy to reinstall the game lol and I get the same error. Seems the patch encrypts the key but their Battlefield 2_code doesn't encrypt the code. Others seem to be having this issue as well. http://www.forumplanet.com/planetbattlefie...534&tid=1757286 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaydaX Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 I reinstalled my game and it fixed the issue. It's one hell of a encryption. The encrypted key is 454 characters long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
