So I buy/install the game through ea downloader.  Yet when i load up bf2 and try to load a euro force map it says i dont have Euroforce installed.  Whats the dilly?  Is it because my transaction with EA is still pending.  I checked my bank of america account and it says transaction is still pending.  Could it be because of that?  other than that i have no idea what it could be.

Is your Gamespy Username the same as your Username when you sign into Bf2, as I had same pop up coz mine were different. I think if you go to the website it gives you the oppurtunity to change it.

We do not know what is causing this issue, mostly because we are not EA. I suggest you contact EA since they are the only ones who will be able to help you with this issue.

At this time this is the only official information we have on the subject. If this does not resolve your issue, please take it up with EA.

1. Log in to the EA Downloader.
   2. Select Battlefield 2: Euro Force Booster Pack from the My Downloads column.
   3. Click on Edit GameSpy Nickname above the Play Now button.
   4. Next log into your EA.com account.
   5. Now enter or change your GameSpy Account Name to the account you wish to have BF:2 Euro Force privileges under or the account in which you have purchased BF2: Euro Force.


wait here so the edit gamespy nick should be above the play button and then i edit there to =kos=maj.do then i do it again at ea.com right?

The name of the account your using on BF2 must match the gamespy identity registered to your Euro Forces. You can change it by opening downloader again & chosing to change you gamespy ID, repeat your gamespy ID & then it will allow you to change the other ID to your BF2 account name.

I know this, because I had the same problem & fixed it.

Thanks guys...I was getting pretty pissed off for a while.  Changed the GameSpy Nickname and everything is running fine for now.

I got EF via the leaked link a few weeks ago, and luckily, got everything right the first time.  However, I have a friend stuck with this same problem as of last night.  In fiddling with this problem, he used his three chances to change his gamespy nick for the week. 

Understandibly, he's quite pissed that he can't play EF after paying money for it.  Afterall, it took a lot less time to lock himself out than it did to download the thing since that's the only distribution medium. 

He said 'fuck it' for the night , and when I got home today, I started fiddling with his account and stumbled across this thread.  I confirmed that his gamespy nick deal is the problem using my own account, and the more I think about the problem, the more I become pissed along with him.  Lots of folks, him included, have more than one player name that they use, so if they wanna play EF, they have to change their GS nick each time they change players.  Since you can only change this 3 times a week, they are now limited to 3 times a week.  It's bad enough to be limited to playing EF levels in singleplayer only using your online account, but to have it tied to a limited number of name changes a week.....WTF?

I've weathered a few patches with no real bitching, but this situation is altogether different.  I will not purchase future booster packs setup like this.  Not because I even have multiple 'characters' myself, but because I don't think it's (the 3 changes a week thing) a justified limitation.  It's well.....bullshit is what it is.

Look, guys, we've changed our Gamespy IDs to match our BF2 account and it STILL DOESN'T WORK. Understand? I've already emailed EA and I'm very pissed off because I spent 10 bucks to download a game I can't play.

For those of you who have tried everything suggested & still can't play, can you ping 159.153.235.28 ?

I had the same problem until I realised that PeerGuardian was blocking this IP. Whenever you try to join an EF map it connects to this IP (I presume to check your Gamespy ID) & if you can't connect you can't play.

I too have been having this error. Everybody told me to check the names match, just like all the above, but the game still told me I didn't have the expansion pack installed. I have uninstalled BF2 and re-installed, wiped my hard drive and re-installed XP & BF2, then still got the same errors from EA, telling me I didn't have the game installed... the one I installed minutes before.

Out of frustration I check my firewall logs and start allowing any traffic outbound to go through - hey presto, Euro force now runs! )


So how do EA/Dice work out that the game isn't installed from a blocked firewall port?? EA blunders will never cease to amaze me.

To put it simply, No one would pay 20 to 30 dollars for Three maps and one more army. all that extra cost would just cover packeging, delivery other stuff that would cost money to the company. But i have to agrre with most of you who's having aproblem with playing EF after install. Downloader instals boster pack into the game folder on your computer. And that should be enough, not under a diffret EA account name, witch we hardly use any way.

ive seen games that cost 5 bucks that are in cd's... they have manufactoring plants across the globe, and they sell the bf2 euroforces product key card in some places in europe and here in taiwan... shipping here is like 3 bucks... i dont see whats the problem w/ shipping...

im fine w/ downloading shit, but EA gotta make their downloader more like valve's steam. steam has grown so far now it sells games that are not even developt by valve. steam pwns since its user friendly and u dont have to use ur browser to buy the game and have one account to buy games and have different gaming nicks

Oh I've seen thouse games too, although they been sitting on a shelfs for a long priod of time. My point was, that  seling product on line saves EA a lot of money, and once again ONE will pay 20 bucks for EF. But than again I migth be wrong.

I was playing euro forces earlier for a few maps, good fun...then after another map change i get this retarded error. I checked the server and it only had 9 ppl on it, had 40 before the map change.

I think it could be a bigger problem.

Oh yeah, EA sucks.
