Admin Edit: You DO NOT need a new GameSpy account. Please read this Installation FAQ.

Ok Euro Forces is out. Now the BS starts;

I have created this because i wasted an hour not knowing what was going on

-First you have to download and install EA downloader (I am not sure if you have to create an account with EA to download or not)

-Then go to the website below;
https://account.ea.com/commerce/main.js … p=homepage

-buy the damn thing and start downloading

-while it is downloading create an account with gamespy MAKE SURE YOU CREATE IT WITH YOUR BF2 NAME AND PASSWORD!!!! (website below);
https://login.gamespy.com/login.aspx?r= … 2f&sl=

-install the stupid thing from EA downloader.

I believe that is it..........for some reason in EA's brilliant fashion of nothing going smooth ever, your BF2 name and password are somehow now linked to Gamespy and unless the 2 of these names and passwords are the same you will get an error trying to get into a server playing the new maps.

If I forgot something please note in another post
Thanks

you just type in your bf2 id when it asks for gamespy id. That what i did and it works, and also if you made a mistake, you can always change the id after installing euro forces

I did what SGT_Dicklewicz said and it fixed for me. BTW even when I entered my BF2 user account in the "GameSpy" field I had an error from EA. I went and "updated" my GameSpy account and I was able to finish buying it...

Here's my story:

Well when I originally made an account for my vanilla BF2 I used [email protected] email address and I then picked the name neoboy14051987. When I downloaded the ea downloader this morning I managed to log in with the neoboy14051987. When I was making the purchase through BT thing (since EA ****ed up with solo cards and issue numbers) it asked me for my gamespy ID so I put the [email protected] hence this is what I used to log into gamespy website. I restarted the downloader and it started downloading. Now every time I click on play button it starts BF2, but once I try to join EF it says that I need to buy EF despite maps being in my create server option. When I click edit gamespy name thing in downloader I enter my BF2 log on name and it takes me to the site saying neoboy@indystart is my email and so on.

Any ideas?

Oops - never mind, fixed now.. Changed my gamespy nick to the one I have in-game, worked wonders (remember case-sensitivity)

Happy Gaming!

My problem was that when i logged into Gamespy's web site it only showed two ids that I signed up with and not the one I use when I play BF2. Somehow I was able to go into my Gamespy account using the email I signed up with and edited the account name to my BF2 id.

Now my question is, When you log into BF2 shouldn't there be unlocks available at your BFHQ?

Edit: This link answers my question about Euro unlocks http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=16355

In EA downloader,on that same screen where you click to "play game" there is a link to edit gamespy Nickname or something, that is where you need to click and edit your player name. MAKE SURE IT IS THE NAME YOU PLAY WITH!

No Unlocks in game, just Euro weapons to use when you play as them (as far as I can tell)

This is complete B.S.

Gamespy has a login and ID 2 seperate things.

Well with all this confusion I changed my name 3 times. Now I have to wait a week to change it again...

Sent EA a support ticket... if they don't fix it by tomorrow I am charging back my card.

Any help here would be appreciated.

I downloaded Euro Force so I could get the new sniper, while I had a weapon unlock available. It won't let me unlock it though. Do I need SF, or what?

Thanks

Yes, they are SF weapons, calling them EF weapons is misguiding becasue, while they do use them there, you need SF to unlock them (since SF is expansion, and EF is a booster)

So you need to go ahead and get SF, or have a buddy with SF play a few minutes with your account (not recommended tho )
