EA message in BF2

Post by Imagine »

Is there a way to disable this message box that pops up? Its ticking me off, I can't get into BF2 using ASE because that stupid box pops up.

Any help would be appreciated.

In the filters list pane (where it says Battlefield 2, Friendly Fire, Maps, etc), right click Battlefield 2 and click Custom Config...

Then edit the line that says Cmd Line to add the +username [your user name here] +playerPassword [your password here] to that line. Minus the brackets of course. So it should look something like:

"c:\games\BF2\bf2.exe" +menu 1 +username nubfacelol +playerPassword imanub

mind the quotes, those are important.


Game will load up and go to the menu with the EA message box showing.
Leave it alone, it goes right into loading the server.

Both of you. Back in your cages. Or no gruel.

Thanks again Izzo, using your post I was able to get Xfire to work the same. Just alittle different config. If anyone wants to know how to do it in Xfire let me know and I can post the directions.

As requested..

For XFire:

Open Program Files\Xfire\Xfire_games.ini. Find the section that says Longname=Battlefield 2.

Edit "Launch=" so that it looks something like this:
Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +username Yourusername +playerPassword yourpassword %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%

This will do the same as ASE. The message box will popup but it will go by it if you just leave it alone.
