How To: Optimize Battlefield 2 – Auto Login/Video Removal

Sometimes we tend to not want to play Battlefield 2 just because it takes so long to enter the darn game, now never deal with this again. This guide covers two sections for optimizing your Battlefield 2. First we will eliminate all those annoying entry videos that you’ve seen one hundred plus times, next we will move onto the built in EA Auto Login, that they never seem to tell you about.

VIDEO REMOVAL – Legal, Dice, EA, Intro

1. Navigate to My Computer (Desktop/Start>My Computer), then locate your folder “DRIVE:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Movies”.

Note: If you have stored BF2 at a separate location use "Start>Search>All Files and Folders" and search for "Dice.bik" then continue to use the folder it's in.

2. Now will see multiple video files located on your screen, you want to select the “Dice.bik”, “EA.bik”, “Intro.bik”, and “Legal.bik” files. You may then continue to cut and move (to a new folder) or delete these files.

NOTE: You may want to keep one or more of the files for your own purposes.

3. Done! No longer will the videos play when entering BF2.

EA AUTO LOGIN

1. Electronic Arts has so kindly hidden an auto login so you will not have to deal with their hastling login system, that they just prefer to not tell you widely about.

2. Create or Locate a BF2 icon on your desktop. “Right click” the logo and select to “properties”.

3. Select “Shortcut” then locate the:

Target: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1

4. At the end of this field add:

+playerName YOURACCOUNTNAMEHERE +playerPassword YOURPASSWORDHERE

5. The "Target: ..." field should then read:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +playerName XXXXXXXXX +playerPassword YYYYYYYYY

(XXXX= Your ingame account, YYYY= Your ingame password)

6. Then select “Apply” and “OK”.

7. Done! Now you no longer have to manually login to Battlefield 2!!

NOTE: However, depending on your internet connection and computer speeds, you may experience a black screen while the account is being logged into. This is normal!

Congratulations you have officially optimized BF2!
