when bf2 was released i heard that if you tried to install bf1942 when bf2 was installed first, that it would mess up bf2. after a few patches, does anyone know if this was, or still is a problem?

yeah it screws up the registry for some strange reason.. even after you uninstall BF2 and try to reinstall it.

I don`t think it`s solved.
Just make a backup from your registery then try it

Damn I forgot about this and now need to get BF42 on here.

I wouldnt put it past EA to have done this on purpose.

You can install 42 fine with BF2 installed. Just don't uninstall it.

Yeah, the uninstall is the problem.

I installed bf42 afterwards and it wouldnt connect online, had to uninstall bf2 and then install 42.
