FH2.1 - Black+White Iron Sight Fix

Post by gomimin »

Here's a temporary solution to the black/white wavy ironsight bug:

You can fix this by manually replacing the BF2 shaders as follows:

1) Delete your shader cache. You can find this cache under "My Documents/Battlefield 2/mods/fh2/cache"
2) browse to "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2"
3) rename "shaders_client.zip" to "shaders_client.zip.old"
4) browse to "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\fh2"
5) COPY (not move!) "shaders_client.zip" to "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2"

You have now replaced the BF2 shaders. Run FH2 through the shortcut in the start menu or on your desktop (i.e. the official way, via fh2.exe), everything should now work properly.

If you want to play BF2 again, you will need to undo the above, that means:

1) delete "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\shaders_client.zip"
2) rename "shaders_client.zip.old" back to "shaders_client.zip"

Don't forget this, BF2 may not run properly if you don't switch the files back.

I played a couple of time without any bug, then I played one night and had that bug... I did not bother much. The next time I started the game the bug disapeared by itself... :)

Before you do any of these things, try to run FH2 from FH2 exe which is in BF2 directory.
The thing is, I had same problem as sup, but only when i started FH2 from inside of BF2, but when i started FH2 directly, the problems were gone. And I like this new iron sight :) , and when your wounded...

;-) Look what's written bold by myself in posting...but yes, never start FH from Community tab inside BF2 ;-)

If the trouble continues for a user, a little rename and copy batch file and vice versa would help...

But I didn't have to replace my shaders. Both BF2 and FH2 work properly...
