Earlier today I logged into the PlayFH2 server. It was one of the Finnish Maps. The map changed right after I connected. When it switched instead of saying "Best Russian Squad" it displayed "Best Chinese Squad". It didn't display any information in the other areas of the page as it normally would.
This seems like very odd behavior. I asked about it in game. No one else noticed that. I tried to get a screen cap, but before I could press <Fn><Print Screen> that screen was replaced by the next one in the end of map / beginning of a new map sequence.
Any insight on this would be appreciated.

I noticed this while trying to figure out where the message may have come from:
PS C:\Users\xxxx> Get-ChildItem -Recurse "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ev errs | Select-String -Pattern "Best Chinese" -SimpleMatch

Is it possible that there's an invalid code reference that's ignoring localization for the English language in that particular Finnish map? The splash screen at the end of the round shows what looks like a burn out ISU-152 sitting on a road with broken trees on either side of it. Sorry - I wish I could remember what map that was, and I wish I had a screen capture. :-(

It can't happen per map, if anything, it would always appear on all Finnish maps. Try to reproduce it, or simply repair your game. Maybe your loc files are missing.

Thanks Jan. There are nine files under Vietnamese. Eight under English. The difference, other than the English and Vietnamese 68 byte files is this guy:

I didn't see a english_vbf2.utxt in the english localization subdirectory.
Could this be a server side issue or does that screen come from the local location at the end of a round?
Here's what I see for the localization files here:

We played another Finnish map last night after I saw the problem. That one displayed the Best Squad screen perfectly.
It just seemed strange. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
