More Battlefield Bugginess
Ugh, been spending so long trying to get this retarded Battlefield 2: Special Forces expansion to work. It’s bad enough that there’s no discount over the retail version, but the download was kinda slow, and the installation has been buggy as hell so far. First the installation gave some wacko number string error (wow, thanks for the helpful error messages), but I managed to fix that after browsing some forums and finding that it had to do with port forwarding. After forwarding the EA downloader ports, I was able to continue with installation, but now the installer keeps asking me to install disc 1 (but of course there is no disc in insert, because it was legally downloaded with their downloader). BF2 is so damn buggy, and the expansion looks like it’s continuing right where they left off.

It’s the BF2 original install disk 1 I believe. I didn’t have a problem at all with the installation/patching. Things just went very smoothly….I did have the BF2 install disc in the drive the entire time and I do remember the install procedure accessing it.

Well, there is 1 discussion thread of the exact same error you are having:
I bumped it in hopes of others posting. At least you aren’t the only one…

Another forum discussing the same problem. Apparently, redownloading Special Forces from the downloader worked for this particular person.
