Right - my wife to be wants to play FH2 with me.

With the latest changes, is it still possible to go gaming together? 

Wow, that's great.  Does she have a sister - Preferably one who is a physician, successful stock broker, or has family money?

I found this on line.  I remember a similar key generator for BF1942 that I used once to fix an issue with my nephew's installation.

Good luck. 

Restore point didn't do squat.  However, the first time I fired up FH2 it showed a warning about video settings.  I'll research this.

Edit:  I don't think that this is it.  I finally tried using default player profile and was able to run the game in single player mode w/o any difficulty whatsoever.  When I tried selecting one of my profiles, the teddy bear appeared and spun.  "Connecting to Server" was displayed.  Never would connect.  Killed process using Task manager.

Profiles in ..\My documents\bf2\profiles are:
pvtgmerpyleusmc2
pvtgmrpyleusmc
[OSF]pvtgmerpyleusmc

Also, under ..\My Documents\BF2\mods there are no FH2 or PR folders.  Shouldn't a FH2\mods subdiretory exist below this one?  I do see both pr and fh2 under c:\program files (x86)\ea games\battlefield 2\mods.

Is there a work around like adding an entry to hosts file for FH2 so that it will properly connect to the server?

Thanks for any assistance you can give.

I think I found the answer myself, but I wanted to post it here for others to view.  Apparently this is a result of a false positive (see web link).  Trojan Generic!Artemis basically means that McAfee found something suspicious, flagged it as a trojan, and assigned the name of it's new threat technology, Artemis.

Therefore, if you're using McAfee as your virus protection software, you'd be well advised to exclude C:\EA Games\Battlefield 2 and it's associated sub folders from any "full" scan that you do as well as your FH2 install files.

I played this last night for the first time and had a blast.  You guys did a great job with the 2.2 release IMO.   

BTW, nice sig Slayer.

LIGHTNING will say they can release at June 6th of next year if you like it.

They can wait as long as they like.  However, only the beta testers and devs will be playing it on their development server.  The original game (BF2) was released in 2005.  Except for die hard fans, the window on attracting interest wanes with each passing day. 

All one has to do is to fire up the game and hunt for a populated server.  Typically you'll only find one that has anybody playing, and lately even these aren't filled.

This doesn't bode well for the mod, IMHO.

And paid to do it or not, without milestone dates and a project schedule of sorts it, project creep slips in.  What should've taken six or eight months with folks working a few hours a week slows and takes over a year.

Answer this for me (and I know that someone here can), how many maps, armies, weapons, etc were released for FH1 in the same time period?  I have to admit, I started playing FH1 late after interest in DC .07 waned.  However, I soon began really enjoying this mod because there were so many battles in the rotation in all theaters of the war. 

Here we are four years after the release of BF2 and two and a half years after the release of 2.0, and we're still wandering around the deserts of North Africa.   

So tell me why are project schedules such a bad thing?
