So I take it I do have the wrong version. If you save me from googling how can I get to 1.5?

I don't know about the 1.0 community. All NRNS servers run 1.5. Installing the 1.41 then 1.5 patches should update your game to 1.5. But using the Revive installer (for a new/fresh BF2 install) will do it. Both methods are covered in the BF2 Installation and connection Guide (BF2Hub) (If you don't have the special forces expansion in the version you downloaded you'll need to find&install it also).

I highly recommend just using the Revive installer to install straight to 1.5 with special forces included. If you're worried about bandwidth/size regarding re-downloading another installer keep in mind that the 1.41 and 1.5 patches are .54 and 1.93 GB respectively (total = 2.63 GB). Then add the size of Special Forces. The Revive installer is 2.7 GB, installs directly to v1.5 and includes Special Forces.

You're right, I don't know why I'm making it hard for myself.

Since I don't have my disk or cd key anymore I had to get it from less than ethical means.....thepiratebay.

I used BF2HUB to install patches.

Just checked  the guide, My hub says "v1.0, Client and Server are BF2Hub-read" and are green...but its not v1.5 like in the guide

I haven't attempted to connect to NRNS server but the 8 different ones that I've tried give me all the same error.

I'm tried installing and reinstalling, updating punkbuster, disabling firewall and adding ports.

Upper right hand corner says BF is 1.0.2442.0
