General Discussion / FH2 Standalone (almost) Installer (Updated 07/06/2020)
« on: 17-02-2018, 21:02:21 »
Due to the lack of interest from dev team in making FH2 standalone, I decided to create installer which would simplify FH2 installation process, which is, from my experience, very tedious and counterintuitive, especially when compared to Project Reality.

Open the game, once it's loads, click on the “BFHQ”, then on “Manage Account". Fill all the required fields (email address isn't important, just make it up). Important notice: make sure you to write down password, as this is the only way you can restore your account!
