You don't need to log into the account server to play, you can even join a single-player game (When you play single-player in BF2, BF2 creates a server, and then connects you to it). If you want your unlocks then you have to: - login to the account server. - AND play on a Ranked server. Otherwise, download the BF2 server software, run it on a spare computer.

Everyone can join. I use DEAMON tools to host my DVD on my PC, my BF2 DVD is never used. But, you still need all players on the server to have different 'CD KEY's'.

My two boys love the game and we take turns playing. But as any parent knows they always seem to get the edge over you and I am afraid I don't get nearly as much gametime as they do. So one might as well get a cd for each pc.

Now the problem. I bought my BF2 ages ago but only recently actually started playing the game. Now I see there are packs which includes 'special forces' etc. These are for sale at around R250 each and the expansion packs sell individually for around R150.

So in order for me to have the same versions as they would it's going to cost me an extra R200! Musiq soulchild soulstar.

My appologies if this question has been aswered elsewhere. I want to set up a LAN game with 90+ bots in the level.

Using BF2 Dedicated Server v1.41 in Co-op mode, I cannot break the 64 Bot limit. I have modified the serversettings.con to no effect, despite setting MaxNbots to 90. I notice that in the Dedicated Server menu, it shows max players = 64 and I am wondering if there is a variable in the maps (server.zip etc) that sets the maximum Bot/Player limit???

My question is, does anyone know how to break the 64 Bot limit in BF2 1.41 Dedicated Server??? Finaly, here are the instructions for upping the maxplayer limmit upto 255. Ok, now since I won't provide you with any exe or patch to have this automated, not that I can't. Is because some may think I wana trick them to download a trojan or keylogger. Here are the instructions for the do it your selfers. Download and install a hex editor program if you don't already have one, I suggest this one as I will be using instructions that are based on it. Create a backup copy of the 'Bf2_w32ded.exe' file in the 'Battlefield 2 Demo' folder first incase you screw up.

Now open up the 'Bf2_w32ded.exe' file with the hex editor and go to offset 0001CECC (by doing edit>goto with the hex editor I suggested), when you find it you should be seeing the value 40, the value 40 in hex translates to 64 in decimal (don't ask me how I found that value being responsible for checking the hard coded limmit ), the maximum hex value we can use now is FF which translates to 255, that means you can max out your server upto that many users! Ok, after you are done changing the 40 to FF, save the file by doing file>save and close the hex program. Ok we are NOT done yet, here comes the second part. As most of you should already know this tutorial is for dedicated server operators that launch the server through 'BF2ServerLauncher.exe' only.

If you want to max out the 64 player limmit on cable or dsl connection then I highly doubt you will even be able to handle anything beyond the default values. I recommend using this methd for lan and anything beyond 10mbps connection.

Ok, now go ahead and run the 'BF2ServerLauncher.exe' program. Create a new server config profile by clicking on the + button on the bottom, type in 'iv81255' for example and press ok. Now set all values as you want for the game except the 'MaxPlayers', why? Becasue it will not let you go beyond the 64 limmit (for now!). Ok, after you are done, click on save and quit the 'BF2ServerLauncher.exe' program. Now browse to your 'My Documents' folder and you will discover that their is a folder called 'Battlefield 2 Demo' now go inside and find the 'ServerConfigs' folder, go inside and find the 'iv81255.con' server config profile you created with 'BF2ServerLauncher.exe', go ahead and open the 'iv81255.con' file in notepad and change the value next to maxplayers to how many players you want to have join in the dedicated server (upto 255, if you set anything beyond that, the server will make it 255).
