Where to Install files?
« on: 17-07-2009, 19:07:16 »
Hi guys,

I tried searching and couldnt find this mentioned, but apologies if it has been.  I downloaded the FH2 zip 2.15, but there wasn't an installer.  I've added the FH2 file into the mods folder under BF2, and the other files into the main EA GAMES\Battlefield 2 folder.  When I run from the FH2 exe I get to the main screen, I can pick single or mulitplayer etc.  But when I try and join a game it CTD's on me.  Is this a bug, or are my files in the wrong places!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

AS

Where did you download this zip?
Usually we have .rar files for FH2.15 and what are the names of the files in the zip?

Sorry yes, it is a .rar!  I always call thm zip out of habit!  :)

It contains:

Forgotten_Hope_2.15_FULL\

mods
$PLUGINSDIR
fh2crash.exe
FH2.exe

mods contains:
 FH2 folder


I put the FH2 folder into the Mods folder under Battlefield 2, and the $PLUGINSDIR, fh2crash.exe, FH2.exe into Battlefield 2 folder loose.

I imagine thats wrong.  So is there an install exe Im not aware of, or a way of using the .rar to install correctly?

Cheers guys, this is appreciated!

That is odd since I recall the Full being an installer in itself, but perhaps someone can correct me.
Other than that you did everything right. Try starting FH2 with the FH2.exe and it should run.
