So I installed the new patch and wanted to hop on for a game of PR 0.75, which worked on single player fine, but when I went to join multiplayer....CD Key not Valid.

*Twitch*

Yeah, so could I get some help, becuase a 4 day weekend without PR just isn't a 4 day weekend :(

Uninstall and Reinstall.

I know it's not a revolutionary idea, but I find it is the most fool proof way to fix serious problems.

And therein lies the problem.

I can't without another lengthy download. I can't remember deleting the original files, but apparently I did.

Oh and running Vista Business.

In your registry it'll have your cdkey somewhere. Enter it again with x9392 preceding it and off you go!

Looks to me like your ****ed. Your ISP might be hosting a copy of the files but otherwise reinstalling is generally the only way to go

"Games\BF2\Support\Ba ttlefield 2_code.exe" Try that, but you probably wont have any luck.

Downloading it again now.

You're right, there is no need because it didn't work.

I redownloaded the entire thing and installed it and, lo and behold.............. it didn't work.
