Installing 2.4 Increment Patch ! Error
« on: 15-07-2011, 22:07:45 »
I have full valid installtion of bf2 and fh2 2.3! Before, I downloaded the 2.3 fh2 full installer so there shouldn't be any problems but there are. Installing 2.4 incremental patch error: Look at this log, I got it when it failed at looking for suitability:

13:03:27: Failing with 'Existing installation not valid for this patch' because: wrong existing file hash
13:03:27: Patch suitability verification failed: Existing installation not valid for this patch

thanks. :)

turns out to be something wrong with my objects_client.zip ? I never tampered with it though so why is there an hash error?
13:21:47:   target = C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\fh2\objects_client.zip
13:21:47:   patchlen = 105870455
13:21:47: -> hashfile: C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\fh2\objects_client.zip
13:21:48: Error: Failing with 'Existing installation not valid for this patch' because: wrong existing file hash

Hmmm that sounds not really good. I would try downloading the full patch if possible.

Sorry, I think the only thing left for you to do is to reinstall 2.3 or get yourself the 2.4 full patcher.

I had the same problem with 2.3.
The increment patch refused to work.
I then installed the complete patch, and no problem.

Now I tried the 2.4 increment patch, which also refused.
I then installed the complete patch, and it worked.

The tank turret sights are drunken.
They hang loose from the main tank chassis.
They sway all over the place, except over a target.

Check your mouse sensitivity under the tank controls. If need be set it to 0.5!

will reply to the other thread this is in but:

my problem was due to extracting from a drive that was not C:

when using the incremental patch, it can only be succesfully installed from C:/ desktop

 i guarantee that with every patch for FH2, I end up getting the strangest bugs possible.


 But I also end up finding the fixes...

if you mod any files i would recommend using the full-installer.

patching files in BF2 is also a problematic. it needs loads of free harddisk space  -> again the full-installer does not have this problem.

patching does usually work but it can have problems that the full-installer wont have.

so unless you are limited by very slow or limited Internet connection using the full-installer is always the preferred way to go.
