Title: Playing FH2/BF2 Online After revive Shutdown (Help)
Post by: fighterpil on 18-01-2018, 23:01:56
I have a slight problem that I have been trying to solve for a while now. Ever since the Revive Project shut down its servers, I haven't been able to play any BF2 or mods online. (More info here: http://www.762-ranking.de/site/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1043&start=20 (http://www.762-ranking.de/site/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1043&start=20)) I still have Revive BF2 installed though, and I was wondering if there would be a way to edit the core files so that multiplayer works again. And yes, I have tried BF2Hub and the FH2 Launcher, but none of them work. Let me know if you think this is possible. I really appreciate it.

Just stop playing a mod to a 10 years old PC game on a Mac to solve all your problems including this one, lags etc.

I've heard that many times, I just want a solution to this problem.

BF2Hub won't work because it doesn't recognize my BF2 directory, because since I'm playing on a Mac, my BF2 game appears as an application, and not as a folder. (Here's what my root folder for BF2 looks like: Revive BF2.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/Program Files/EA GAMES/Battlefield 2) Is there a different root folder of BF2 that it might be able to recognize, and thus would work?

But there is none. FH2 was never meant to be played on Mac.

I've got it working finally! :) The only problem is that whenever I try to change the controls in-game after I launch FH2 through the Launcher, the screen freezes up for a minute or so, and I can't make any changes. I have however, found an alternative for that: editing the FH2 settings.con file. I've got everything to work so far except for one, which is replacing RMB (aiming) with the "B" key. Every time I try to replace it, it shows up under the controls as "Undefined" or "Unknown". Below are a few screenshots of what I'm talking about. Any idea as to how I might fix this?

Never mind, I've got it working. There was a command line that I had forgotten to add. Thanks for all your help, man!
