Euro Forces Out !

Ponster

For those who intend on buying it.....

When you log in it'll ask you for your Gamespy account. This is your BF2 account. It doesn't tie the game as such to one nick but if you have several people using the same PC, all with different BF2 logins, then they'll have to make a small modification in Gamespy each time you switch user.



Remember, you log into EA.com with an EA account (not BF2) and you ues your BF2 (gamespy) account to buy the game.

16 man server is running new EF maps for those purchasing. Greatwall 16 will be a classic I think.

I fail to see how you can be on here at work to post this but not in IRC to help me out ( no wonder we kicked you from the server )

Right , I have an EA a/c , and I log in with this , is it after I have made the purchase that use my BF2 (gamespy) a/c because I am at the purchase details page and it is not asking for a BF" a/c .

Vegeta wrote:

Same here as it won't be my CC , plus I don't want to end up with it registered to a different nick to the one I normally use

also as a side note : from one of the moderators on the EA forums

If you have purchased the Euro Forces expansion via Downloader please be aware that the game is not scheduled to go live until Wednesday morning (9am GMT).

While you may be able to purchase the booster ahead of this release time, it will not function as intended until the release time and date.

Apologies for any confusion.

gibbon75

I'm downloading it right now
But I guess the EA servers are busy,because it keeps dropping the connection

Ponster

There's no worries as you can't associate the game to only one nick.

jonski, at the purchase details page it asks you to enter your BF2 nick.

AnCapaillMor

So how does one assign it to a new nic, i assigned my original big eejit that i am, can play it on that but not on my current one.

Just tought of this one, if it is tied to account, lan play will not be possible which is b*ll*x.

Dcully

Red Orchestra out tonight also

As far as i can make out about changing the nick used you use the account edit page on your EA User account(website), nothing to do with the ingame account! Hope this helps.

Open the EA Downloader, click on EF in the list of items and you should see 'gamespy nick' settings by the 'Play Now' button.

Tanx Ponster, explained so much easier!

irlrobins

downloading now.... jsut wondering: if i install this do i need to repatch anything?

No, the 1.20/1.21 patch already includes half the EF content, like weapons and voices anyway.

Ponster

Yep, the download only contains the maps. The 1.2 patch modified BF2 to get it ready for EF by adding the sounds and such.

irlrobins

yea that's what i thought, jsut wanted to confirm. thanks guys

Ponster

Also you can only change the nick associated with EF no more than 3 times per week.

Dcully

FFS i have paid for it but when i try login to ea downloader its says wrong name and or password.
FS i just bought the thing how are details wrong!

AnCapaillMor

Nice game, operation smokescreen, loads and loads of tank, at least 6 per side. Went to the TiG it was dead, theres a few german servers going around.

It was working for me this afternoon, Great Wall is good crack alright, but the Euro army voices are a bit, odd. Kinda like the may the MEC commander voice sounds way too camp... I can't quite put my finger on it, but they just don't sound right...

Also, is it just me, or does anyone else feel like a bit of a sap for paying €9.99 for this, on top of €50 odd for the original game, plus €29.99 for Special Forces (which I freely admit I only bought for the unlocks), plus another €9.99 for the next patch (Sorry, 'booster pack).

Dcully

Can you guys please check if you can login to ea downloader.

Ponster

Yep no problem.

Can't you get the ea.com password sent to you?

Dcully wrote:

No problems. You sure you're using the correct name, you're EA and not your BF2\gamespy id. did the same myself today.

Dcully

Thanks m8.
Well im fooked then
EA just screwed me lol.

What's the ip? Can't find it in browser.


ok found it

projectmayhem

i'll wait for a more official release tbh. how much is it anyway (in €uro)?

also, will i have to download the "full" patch (the last one, i've lost track of the numbers at this stage), or will the incremental (which i used) be enough?

Dcully wrote:

tbh it looks exactly like DoD, but with tanks

Dcully

Ive played RO from early beta testing days ,this is far from DOD with tanks.

Just to edit on the EF issue,i just took out the space between two parts of my name and it worked,very weird .

This is coming from the EA downloader , it doesn't get any more official than that .

It's €9.99

The patch you have will be fine .

Dcully

Download was uber fast,installation was flawless.

KdjaCL

CRC errors on smokescreen client zip so cant play that map for a while.

The Real B-man

just bought it there €10 isn't bad but i hope the next one is the last its getting stupid all the expansion packs there should be just patches with new maps etc not having to pay €10 a pop

Dcully

Hmmm when i go to join EF server it says i aint got it installed,i then remembered that i had to assign an actual BF2 account to play it.
I went to sort this out only to find i have 3 available "nick changes used up" ,lol i give up.
Anyone know what im doing wrong here?
I think i never woke up today tbh.

It assigned it to whatever nick you stuck in, it should work if you use the nick you changed that to ingame. Afaik gamespy only recalls the 1st nick.

Just played the Euro Force patch for a couple of hours tonight and noticed a bug - randomly when i loaded up into the game, it wouldn't allow me to change weapon (like the old 'reduced to a Private' bug). This time i had all the new weapons unlocked but it still showed me as a Private. Unfortunatly this resulted in me getting kicked (twice) and banned (once) from a few different servers for cheating.

My Mate <King_of_the_Bling> was online too and he had exactly the same problem.

Anyone else get this or are we just 'special'?

yep game is a lot of ****..as for those stupid french accents..wtf were DICE thinking??stupid ****in canadians

irlrobins

Yea takes a bit of time getting used to them. But I suppose I'm jsut used to the original voices. Accents are a bit phoney, but not the worst I've heard.

Like some of the new weapons. Haven't had a chance to play on server yet, looking fwd to it.

Archytas

Downloaded last nite in the wee hours so havn't had a chance to install(though how well its going to go... all this patching malarky is pi*sin me off)... REad quickly what was said here but does it mean that me and the bro cant play this stupid game as much as we like? So if he changes it I have to change it back and we can only do that 3 times??

hmmmm......... :mad:

Downloading it now, should be able to go for a few games tonight

I use it myself, and its great for buying stuff online, ebay, paypal, etc, if you don't have a credit-card yourself.

You can download it again or just burn the setup files to disk.
Your Gamespy account is your BF2 account so it shouldn't matter about the case.

I don't seem to be able to buy it at all, it is quite infuriating. Everytime I click on the confirm order button it takes me to the screen attached.

I've tried it a few times both in firefox and IE, cleared cache, cookies etc and it keeps bringing me to that screen.

Anyone else had this problem?Attachment not found.
