Before installing Spydirector, it's important that you change certain settings in the BF2Hub app for it to work correctly. We've created a short guide in PDF format to help you.

Spawnkill definition =FL= Karkand server:

Getting killed within approx 2 seconds after you spawned at spawnpoint? - SPAWNKILL!

Exceptions when you start moving or shooting or throwing nades etc. within those 2 seconds and got killed? - NO SPAWNKILL!

Spawning at squadleader and get killed is never a Spawnkill.

Dear fans of Battlefield2.

We’re thrilled to share that Phase 1 of the BF2Hub community rollout is now live in our new data center! ? The maintenance mode is still active but in-game account registration has been re-opened, and additional services will follow progressively.

As you might probably know, we've faced a significant challenge in the last few months. After serving the BF2 community **for the past 10 years** since the official GameSpy shutdown, a [critical, infrastructure-breaking event forced us to move to a new data center. Without much time to prepare we had to rush restoring core services: migrate everything, databases, snapshots, backups & similar items to the new DC; design & setup a completely new BF2 infrastructure, database clusters, application clusters, storage clusters and and finally rewrite & modernize tons of code to match the new environment.

Such an epochal amount of operations (in layman's terms: re-building a new BF2Hub _from the ground up_ ?) required a lot of human resources: at the time we had estimated 20 days to complete 80% of those tasks (bringing most systems online but with limited functionality, essentially what we call "maintenance mode"); yet with hard volunteer work (in the free time after our real-life jobs) we pulled through and by 12 juni 2024 (9 days later) we managed to achieve that minimum 80% to serve back our existing player-base & ~150 game servers pool.

The last 20% of the restoring operations proved to be the longest to tackle. First of all because **restoring an infrastructure built** hastily in long gone **2014**, is **not as simple** as one might think: decisions had to be made at the time, in order to meet the GameSpy shutdown date, that today we are paying during the restoring process; therefore we've been working hard to re-think some of these aspects, modernizing our infrastructure and re-writing some of the decade-old code we have, given the fact the new DC also runs on newer technology & frameworks. ?

Furthermore, **we are constantly faced with and still facing heavy network attacks**, in the attempt to take our systems completely offline. This kind of relentless attack is slowing down our efforts to fully restore BF2Hub to its former glory but we are working hard to mitigate it as best as we possibly can.

Finally we want to thank our moderators & supporters for their admirable work managing this Discord Server as well as their direct involvement in trying to solve the shortcomings that this whole situation has (unwillingly) bestowed upon us. And of course a big shout out to our community, we saw many of your nice reactions, here in our Discord and on Social Media - let's keep being the best versions of ourselves, stay strong, and enjoy the next decade of BF2, together. ?

Yours truly, **BF2Hub Staff**

To be able to play on more then one ranking system and without the need to patch the bf2.exe file every time again, you can use the GamespyRedirector.
This allows you to play on BF2Hub servers but also on BF2Stats servers or PlayBF2 servers.

Assuming you already have bf2hub client installed, folow the next steps:

1. BF2Hub Client - revert patches.
2. uninstall BF2Hub Client.

Step 1 and 2 can be skipped if you dont have the BF2Hub Client installed. For example when you did a clean installation of Battlefield 2.

3. Download and install GamespyRedirector (  https://bf2stats.com/Leaderbaord/info/info.html )
4. Create Service providers BF2Hub, BF2Stats and PlayBF2:

    BF2Hub

    BF2Stats

    PlayBF2

5. Start Battlefield 2 using the GamespyRedirector:

   
Note: Check the green checkmark next to "Service Online" to the right of "Service Provider".

6. In Battlefield 2 login screen go to "manage acounts" and create new account on BF2Stats.
7. Login to Battlefield 2 using your new account.
8. Login to the =FL= First-Legion (bf2stats)  server or any other server in the server browser list.


Most common issues:

Issue: After login in to Battlefield 2, you cant create an account on BF2Stats.
Cause: The bf2.exe file in your Battlefield 2 instalation folder is still patched.
Solution: Overwrite your bf2.exe file with the original bf2.exe file. ( contact me for more info ).

From today we also have a BF2 RANKED server on the BF2Stats system.

I have been notified BF2HUB will be down for maintenance. Its not sure yet when they will be back online. Players who already have an account on bf2stats.com can still play on the bf2statsS1 server with all bf2stats ranks and unlocks or login to bf2hub servers by ip and play without unlocks/ranks.

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of the =FL= clan in the past year.

Players, admins and donators, thank you all for your commitment to our server.
While we had very few players in the summer months (several players were active on the COOP servers of bf2stats.com), we did very well in the winter months.
We had almost 500 PBBANS kicks on our server and unfortunately also several bans by our own system.
2023 was also the year in which we had our first friendly clanwar ( =OLD= vs =FL= ) on our new =FL= Event Server.
Since this was a success, we want to hold several events on this new server in the coming year.
I wish everyone a happy and safe 2024 and hopefully see you all next year
