Reboot, then reinstall if it still doesn't work. Just a guess

I think (not always a good thing), that in EA downloader you have an option to change your username.

This is from Ali (Official Hell Bound Turbo Action Club Member) in another post

"Click on "Edit Battlefield 2 Nick" on the AF page in EA Downloader. Log in with your EA DOwnloader account and click on "Downloads Info". Check if you entered your correct Battlefield 2 nick (according to you sig it's brownandbubbly). You have to enter it twice."

People can put little kids giving the middle finger and half naked chicks but i cant put a picture of an ultrasound of what looks like a demon (alien) trying to eat a kid.  or can you not see that alien looking thing with glowing eyes up in the corner.

I have the same problem....... a different username in BF2 to EA Downloader.  I think this is where my problem lies, as I cannot download my AF from EA Downloader.  However I cannot sign up to EA Downloader using my BF2 username, as it has an _ in it, and EA Downloader does not allow this - any ideas?

I had the same problem when I first purchased AF Tuesday night and tried to play it yesterday, something like "You must buy the booster pack before you can join this server, click the button below to buy".  Let me tell ya, it took me and a friend 6 hours to finally get it to work right, but my fix might not be yours.

In the end after manually unistalling BF2/BF2:SF/EF/AF cleaning my registry out and then re-installing everything I still got the same error message, I did this a total of 4x's to no avail.  The "FIX", I used a second EA Downloader account I have, re-purchased the game, made sure my BF2 username was in the 2 spaces on the confirmation screen, re-downloaed to the downloader, downloaded it to the comp and installed it, for some reason this worked. 

BTW, your BF2 username and EA Downloader username do not have to be the same (you put in your account name during confirmation ^^as stated above^^), just make sure your BF2 and Gamespy ID's are.

So don't know if you want to drop another $10 but that's how I fixed it, just re-installing, redownloading etc. resulted in the same error message over and over and over and etc.

I don't think it is so much the picture of the ultra sound as it is the quote "I WILL EAT YOUR KID".  Just remove the text or replace it with something that points out the odd looking blip...

I have a remedy request in with EA Help on this issue.  My player ID and login for EA Downloader were similar but different.  I will post the findings whenever I get a response.  EA Downloader has to be the stupidest way to buy 'Booster Packs".

I refuse to drop another 10 USD into this crap.

EA says you can merge your two EA accounts (not your game nick). Try that. Essentially, your deleting one of the two EA accounts and putting your two downloads under the other.

So if I change my Battlefield 2 nickname to my EA Downloader name, my AF download will show up under 'My Downloads'?
