How to join an online server?
« on: 26-02-2015, 20:02:05 »
Hello fellow wwii entusiasts. I just installed BF 2, updated to version 1.5 and installed FH2. The only problem is that I see no servers to join and I haven't found anything useful on Google, that made me any wiser on how to succeed in joining a server.

I can't create an online profile in game. I believe this is due to the fact that EA has shut down it's servers.

Any help is appreciated.

To see online servers, you need an online account.

For creating one, I believe you can do this ingame, I even did a "test profile" run not that long ago; so it should work. If I remember correctly, retrieving accounts you cannot do (with Gamespy shutdown being the cause of it, like you said).


Post if you need any help. :)

To create an online profile you have to go to the launcher's options, set <none> profile in "login as" setting, launch the game and CREATE online profile ingame. You cannot retrieve your old account if you had any, so don't try that. You can create a profile using exactly the same nickname as you had in your old profile though.
