wrong version error! help! seriously! no, for real!

10-20-2003, 12:42 AM

when i hit multiplay, then select a server, i get an error message that says: wrong version, do you want to update? And if i hit ok it takes me to the ea site. I have 1.45, i've tried to reinstall, then reinstall and use the patch, then reinstall then use the full 1.45 upgrade, etc.

Go to RUN under the start menu and type in REGEDIT, and go down to the EA folder. And delete it!!!........now restart ur comp. and reinstall BF and before you play go to www.fileplanet.com and get it......If that doesnt work tell me I have another idea

that did it. i deleted all registry then reinstalled and it still didn't work. then i downloaded the same patch from fileplanet.com and then it worked. i guess i had a faulty version of the patch. thanks.

Try downloading the patch from a different site perhaps. Quality assurance has fallen a bit with some of the older patches so I have found that you might have to download 2-3 different versions of the same patch from alternate sites to get one that is uncorrupted.

Try sites like filefront.com, fileplanet.com, gamershell.com, or even try downloading from the downloads section on BFNation. I couldn't tell which one will work, but you will likely find one that runs properly.
