I just installed bf2, and applied the 1.41 patch clean... no addons (special forces) and it says i am on an older version than the euro and na server...

Anyone know of anything i can try to fix this?

Edit:
Other servers work fine.

Try updating your PB version!
This might be the problem.

I think it was the patch didn't take or something. He reinstalled the patch and it worked fine (be sure to have your anti-virus software disabled during patch).

I reinstalled the patch with antivirus disabled.
I updated punkbuster.
I set to run as admin in vista.

RESOLVED.

My dvd's got screwed up a long time ago, so i keep a .iso of bf2 on my computer, which forces me to use a nocd patch.

The patch was for 1.4 not 1.41, so i got an all version mini image instead and it works beautifully.

Ty for the help guys.

Using a cracked 1.4 exe after patching to 1.41 could cause problems. But its good to hear PB didnt ban him for using an altered exe. Stick with the mini-images.

was using the modded exe since 1.3 with no problems... but ill stick with the mini image.
