    From bfworld.net:

    PROBLEM SOLVED.
    for those that had to manually patch the game (like me) ull come across a "invalid cd-key" when u try to join any server.
    the solution to this is very simple, when u copy the temp files of the patch, there are 2 .exe files; the actual patch, and another called BF2CDKEYCHECK.exe, what i did was, i copied it to the main BF2 folder (where the BF2.exe file is) then just run the cdckeck, u'll think nothing happens, nothing did for me (i thought) but it actually does enable u to join servers and play as normal.
    peace
