Does anyone know if Battlefield 2 works with Windows 7? Have the PunkBuster issues been resolved?

Hey troublesome4u,

Here is another thread with a resolve to PB issues on 7. Much like Vista, it appears everything must be run as admin.

I can't find that file. I am on win7 64.

I need a walk-through or for someone to help me on TS maybe.

I got it to work thanks to Zippy.

Right click on the BF2.exe and go to properties.
Click on the compatibility tab.
Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
Select Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
Also I checked the "Run this program as an administrator" box at the bottom.

Good luck and please post your results.

Glad to help - especially after the countless times you've aided me!!!

Here's the BF2.exe Properties box mentioned:

You may want to try this on all your older games that ran on XP. BTW, works in Vista too. I did this method on Vista several months ago before I received Win 7. But I have to say, Win 7 is MUCH better
