    Does right clicking the exe file shows it?

    I have seen it in the menu screen.But here should be some console command for it.

    mmm dont think so.
    I think i see it when i start the game in the bottom left corner.

    The reason i'm asking is because I just reinstalled the game and tried reinstalling the patch. When I try to find servers nothing happens. If that's the version number in the bottom left corner, then the patch didn't do anything :(

    Here are the version vs patch numbers:

    1.0.2442.0 ~ 1.0 (bf2 install, no patches)
    1.1.2475.0 ~ 1.01
    1.1.2484.0 ~ 1.02
    1.1.2551.0 ~ 1.03
    1.1.2552-344.0 ~ 1.1 (special forces install)
    1.1.2554-356.0 ~ 1.12
    1.1.2696-528.0 ~ 1.2
    1.1.2716-548.0 ~ 1.21
    1.1.2720-552.0 ~ 1.22
    1.1.2878-710.0 ~ 1.3
    1.1.2963-795.0 ~ 1.4
    1.1.2965-797.0 ~ 1.41

    depending on what expansion packs you have, this is the install order:
    bf2 > special forces > euroforces/armoredfury > patch 1.41 > highway tampa update.

    1.41 is the last patch and you want to be running that.

    I also recommend using qtracker to find and connect to servers. If you still have problems, post back and i try to help.

    Well its the right version.

    The order of install I did was bf2 > SF > project reality mod > 1.41

    Do I need highway tampa to find servers? Like when I login the server list is completely blank. Im downloading it now

    you dont need highway tampa to find servers. that was only a map EA released. you only need it if you want to play that map.

    as for the blank server list, im not sure. I dont know much about PR. I thought it had its own executable to start it?

    Yeah it does have its own exe, but the blank server list is for both PR and BF2. :(

    In the server overview, disable all filters except for Ranked/Not full/Not empty :)
