shortcuts to Special Forces and PoE

Post by 1Mac »

Hi, I had to reload windows to system and have loast the desktop shortcuts to pPecial Forces and PoE. I have looked in the BF2 installation folder and BF2\mods\, but can't find the exe. for these X-packs. Anybody know where they're located or am I going to have to re-install everything?

You can try making new short cuts using your directory structure.

Target:
"C:\xxxxx\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1

Start in:
"C:\xxx\Battlefield 2"

Target POE:
"C:\xxx\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/poe2 +ignoreAsserts 1

Ahoy :)

My Special Forces desktop shortcut is:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/xpack +ignoreAsserts 1
And for POE, it's:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\poe2\poe2.bat"
If nothing else, you should be able to right-click on your desktop, go new->shortcut and enter in the above info for each in the "location of item" field. This, of course, would only work if you follow the same (default) install paths ;)

Good luck!

Although the bat file shortcut works for Poe2, it opens a command promt before it does anything and the Special forces one is just gone!. I'm gonna just re-install instead of trying to figure it all out. Thanx.
