Hey,

I can't install the latest patch for Battlefield (1.6.19). It just don't want to launch, when I click the icon, i have to wait, and then it says something like that: The archive you're going to extract is corrupted, download again, and change priority. Well, I have downloaded it over 10 times, I have burned it on a CD, I downloaded it on another PC. I went to a lanparty, and everybody have downloaded it from my PC and in all cases it worked. I made my HDD empty, and reinstalled WinXP, but nothing helps. A month before it worked... I have done a test for bad sectors on my hard disk, and found a few, but nothing helps...


If anyone knows the answer, please help! :(
 
Don't think it's a virus, I have Norton AntiVirus 2004 and I also did all the updates...
 
link

also, that link you gave me, when i have to scan, there's an update running for the engine or something like that, but tried that over 20 times, it always sais: invalid zip file, blabla... Again - Cancel... :(
 
are u installing the incremental patch or the full 1.6 patch ? (full patch is recommended)
 
1.6 installation prob

Hi all, my first posting ever...

Same probs as "unregistered" person.
I downloaded the patch from about 5 different locations and always the same message:

"The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of this file, verify it's integrity, and try again."

I run xp home with 1gig of mem, athlon 2700+, radeon 9700pro.

Virus scanner doesn't detect anything.

I tried the incremental as well as the full version.


Thanks

Man I know it is tough to be patient when you got that sweet game ready to be played but can't do to a tech support issue. I am working on it and expect some sort of response tomorrow.

I am not new to these forums but I am new to BF1942 Tech Support so what I am doing now is gathering a bunch of resources together to help you in case I can't. EA support sucks so that is why we are here. Check back tomorrow afternoon after 4 Central Time and if I cannot help you I will have something for you anyway. Thanks for your patience. I am working on this but there are almost no other reports of this I can find. Hang in there - it is so tough to troubleshoot stuff when the company that makes the game does not give a #$#% about support. It is like shooting in the dark. Hang in there though - I am not The Helper for nothing.
 
thank you "Helper"

I tried to download again but no way to installl. (grmpf)

:mad:

    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
