thats the EA games folder....

i was at work when i said that.... i looked here and its in Electronic Arts folder, then EA games / Ergc

[Typhoid]

Ummm, BF:V isnt under "Electronic Arts" its only ndr "EA Games" the only thing I have in Electronic Arts is Sim City 4, and the Ergc in three is for it.

Is there some sort of way i can just make a new one..because apparently it got deleted...

if its not there. its really just going to be easier to reinstall the damn thing. yes you could just add things into the registry, but if by change it put it in a different spot then all that work would be for nothin.

do this....

rename your battlefield folder to bfvbackup....
install the game. then copy the backup folder of the game and paste it over the new install. wont have to re install updates, and it should put all the stuff in registry it needs.

Ok, so upon uninstalling, it asks me to insert Disc 1.

Disc 1 was already inserted.

I press "OK"

It says "Please insert Disc 1"



*Head explodes*


*sigh* Oh well...I guess I wasnt meant to play online games.

[Null]

what are you doing to uninstall? (BTW, the way i said didnt need uninstall)

but you dont need the disc to uninstall. just goto control panel, add remove programs and remove vietnam

Oh, I didnt see that part, heh.

Ok, so i made the ergc things, put in the CD key to define it,....aaaand it didnt work...I changed a coupel things to the CD Key...aaaaaaaand it didnt work...I made sure my firewall was off...aaaand it didnt work.

Like, the game works...jsut when i click on a server for multiplay..it says im invalid...

I'll find a way around this, haha.



EDIT:

Ok, I solved my problem...heres how:

Step 1: Play "Rome:Total War".

Problem solved.
