What was the source of your first install?

I asked because I have seen a number of threads from people that installed from a copy that they got from a torrent and later had problems getting their legit copy to work. Your wording regarding on-disc copy protection is what prompted me to ask.

you need to find the install folder on your c drive, in there you will see the bad company 2 updater.exe. run that and it will patch to latest version, then you will be able to find the games, it happened to me last night and now all is good, i think the servers are down at the moment though as i was disconnected from a game and now cannot even log in

BF:BC2 allows you to choose whether you want to use the "disc in the drive" authentication or an online authentication. With the online authentication you do not have to have the disc in your DVD drive to play the game.

This is excellent info - thank you. I own a digital copy and was unaware.
