Tech question

So one of the many reasons I haven't been playing bf2 for the past 6 months is because one of my computer messed up with bf2. I downloaded and added the 1.3 Patch I believe it was... with the fake console and stuff. Well it started messing up the multiplayer. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling 5+ times, when I install and launch the game, it still has all the same crap from the addon I made. I'm pretty sure I deleted all the files I could find for that patch and it wont go away. It makes it 99% unable to play. It skips, lags, and a whole bunch of crazy stuff that has nothing to do with lag. It is simply because of the addon. I got the addon to try the free camera.


ANY clue at all how I can get rid of this? I just want to have bf2 without the patch. But I can't get rid of it.

You just need to delete the game folder completely when uninstalling the game.

Try to find a free program that has a "disc explorer". Sometimes uninstalling a program doesn't work.. files remain due to being in more than one location. I've experienced same issues with programs, I delete them, only for them to resurface somewhere else. A "disc explorer" will find them. Example... you might of deleted files from Lucas Arts, but the same file(s) remain under "users". Hope this helped. Keep us informed if it works or fails please, I would like to know what you find.

get winRAR and delete addon folder in this location "c:/(your c drive name)/program files x86(assuming you have a 64bit os)/Lucasart/SWBF2 (or something like that)/game data/addon" there You Go! :gunsmilie:

I had already deleted the "Addon" folder.

Yesterday I got on the pc and searched for star wars and I deleted anything related to BF2 (short of RM) so today I will probably install bf2 and see if that fixed it. That's assuming I find the CD that someone in my family has moved :roll:

When I reinstalled it everything seemed to work fine and I did not see any remains of the addon. Thanks guize
