Installing a patch for a game or program is unpacking files into the directory of the desired program, instead of those installed. They are needed to improve or change certain parameters, but not all additions have a positive effect on the course of the game.

Step 1
If you need to patch the battlefield 2 game, save the data you are going to replace beforehand. After installing the patch, it will be impossible to restore the changes. Be careful, install only those mods, the use of which has received positive feedback from other users and which have been downloaded the most times. This is due to the fact that after using many of them, the game simply terminates abnormally without warning, preventing the user from saving. Also, there are often problems with the "freezing" of the game, even with a sufficient computer configuration.
Step 2
To avoid this, completely copy the game folder into Program Files or Games, and then, if after installing the patch, the game will work correctly, you can delete them. Otherwise, the worst option might be to lose game progress and completely reinstall the game.
Step 3
After downloading the patch, unpack the archive and check it for malicious code and viruses, it is best to do this with the Dr. Web anti-virus program or the Dr. Web Cure It utility, since they have the function of installing a protective screen during the scan. Run the downloaded utility, specify the directory with the game - Program Files or Games (depending on where you unpacked the installation files during installation), then Battlefield 2.
Step 4
Click on the Patch button and wait. In some cases, for example, when installing patch 1.51, this can take a long time, it all depends on how many files are required to replace. Do not manually stop the installation process or restart your computer. Sometimes, even if you have a powerful PC, file replacement can take a long time.
Step 5
After installing the patch, restart your computer. Launch Battlefield 2 and test it to see if it works. Pay attention to changes in graphics, controls, menus, check if the game progress is saved correctly. Try to complete a certain stage of the game before deleting data backups.
