A guide to installing Forgotten Hope 2

For those of you that have clicked this thread's title, yes! There is a guide to installing Forgotten Hope 2 so that you don't mess anything up!


1. First of all your going to need to install Battlefield 2, the CD version.  Steams downloadable version of Battlefield 2 is not compatible with mods so if you have done that, ask for help there may be a solution.


2. After installing battlefield 2 on your computer, be sure to patch the game to 1.41. http://www.filefront.com/6194285/Battlefield-2-v1.41-Patch/ If this link does not work, please google "Battlefield 2 1.41 patch" and you should get a few sites with links to download it.


3. Now that you've installed patch 1.41, you need to download patch 1.50. Among correcting some bugs this patch allows you to play the game without needing your Battlefield 2 CD!  http://www.filefront.com/14444947/Battlefield-2-Patch-v1.5/  (This is a particularly big patch! So you may want to bring along a book to read, perhaps The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy? You'll need something to entertain you and if you get hungry you can always go to the Restraunt at the End of the Universe or listen to a concert by Jetblack Deviato but I digress.


4. Now that you've survived your tour of the universe you get to download Forgotten Hope 2, 2.26! The downloads for 2.26 can be found at http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/main.php?module=downloads. The files are available in both torrent and an .exe file. If you have a limited internet connection, the files can be downloaded in 2 parts, but if you have time and nothing to do, you can download the full file.

4b. If you have 2.25, you can download the incremental patch to 2.26.

5a. For some of these files you download, you made need rarlab! rarlab can be downloaded at www.rarlab.com. Keep in mind that you need to download the version appropriate to your system! I.e. download the 64bit for 64bit computers and 32bit for 32bit computers. If you do not know what your computer bit is, you can google how to find out!

5b. Now that 2.26 has been downloaded, you'll need to install the files. If you downloaded the torrent, you'll need the password to install the files. The password for 2.26 is 8xx8>\<enjoy>/<8xx8 . Copy and paste should work.

5c. If you downloaded the .exe, you should not need the password, however if you do need a password 8xx8>\<enjoy>/<8xx8 is the password.

6.Install the files on their DEFAULT installer path!

7. Now that you've installed the files, you should be able to play Forgotten Hope 2! Enjoy!

Re: A guide to installing Forgotten Hope 2

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me out. I don't have the disc version, but I don't have the steam version either. I have a version I downloaded off of the EA website. Will this work? Also, I tried installing Forgotten Hope 2 yesterday, everything went finr until I got to the multiplayer. Every time I tried to log on to a server, it told me I didn't have the map that was running. I did manage to make it to a lading screen on one servern but when it loaded all the way I CTD'd. So after that I decided to uninstall and look for help...looks like I found some  Smiley

Yes
Did you try to join the dev server? that's maybe why it said you didn't have the map. Also, what version of FH2 did you download, the version should be 2.2. Additionally, seeing your system spec could be useful

Re: A guide to installing Forgotten Hope 2

I tried multiple servers, all of which gave me the same message. And yes, it was 2.2

Re: A guide to installing Forgotten Hope 2

Yes I have punkbuster. Oh and if it helps in anyway, I've been playing Project Reality for about a year now. It used to CTD on me all the time because I had a downloaded version of BF2, but then I started using a mirrored version of the game and it has been fine ever since. Could that be the problem?

Re: A guide to installing Forgotten Hope 2

Okay, now I've got another problem. Last night I uninstalled FH2, or at least I thought I did. The shortcuts and the game are still there and working. I keep trying to uninstall it but nothings working.

If it won't uninstall, delete the fh2 file in you BF2 directory, and delete the icons

Re: A guide to installing Forgotten Hope 2

Okay, I decided to to do a system restore to the day before I installed. That got rid off it.

Look, I'm gonna pass on this till I get a copy of BF2 on CD. Then I plan to unistall the downloaded version. Install and CD version and go through the process above. That should work right?
