A rare case of a tutorial being extremely helpful and entertaining

Works as of September 4th, 2020! Thank you for making this video! My past attempts at installing mods were unsuccessful, but you explained it very well (and amusingly). Thanks!

Thanks for the guide! I sink a lot of hours into the handful of games I play, but I don't generally mess with mods and things so this was an easy to follow set of instructions that got me where I wanted to go.

Absolutely Brilliant tutorial. I just got back into Battlefront 2 and what I thought would take hours only took watching this video. Top quality.

What a treat! Thought the mods would be too old to find solutions to use them on Steam. Thank you for this straightforward, helpful, and hilarious tutorial. Cheers!

literally the best tutorial video I have watched ever. Never have been that entertaint while listening how to do something

I have been trying to get my mods to work for months and finally I have found the prefect guide and have my mods back. Thank you!!!

This is so far, the ONLY Tutorial for modding that has actually been helpful, Easy to understand and actually have the links in order which makes it more easier, so thank you so much

No viruses or anything? I'm kinda worried. Oh, and does it allow playing Hero Assault (aka Heroes vs Villains) on more than one map? I really dig that gamemode so I wish it did

Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Not only that, but you even provided the installers, these are very hard to find nowadays

Thanks homie, this was both entertaining and very helpful and straightforward, thank you so much for making it so easy for the viewer by putting stuff like the mods in the description :)

haha all I needed was that little fast part at the beginning, thank you so much for making this!

Bro, I subbed! You helped me fix my issue that I couldn't for a damn year cause I thought the multiplayer just rekt the game! Thank you! Keep up the work!

YES! Thank you! I used to have an older version on my old computer and I didn't think they had an updated one, so I tried the older one and it wouldn't work. Now this works and finally I can have fun messing around. :}

Thanks so much, my mods got uninstalled somehow and I was loosing my mind trying to figure out how to get them back and this video had all the answers for me, I spent over an hours fucking around before and then I just followed along with this video for like 10 minutes and boom BFX once more! Great video, well made, good instructions and you speak very well, are funny and entertaining to listen to and don't over complicate things.

@Michael Mazurczyk I have it on steam and it works. Just do it exactly as was shown in the video, maybe uninstall and reinstall the game first just so your starting with a blank slate if youve tried to add other modds on before.

This seriously is an underrated video, this shit all worked for me like a charm, I was trying to install this on my laptop at my dads and I was going through all the tutorials I could find and none of them explained the crucial step of getting rid of the extra game data, so thank you very much for pointing that out. I'm gonna share the fuck out of this with the rest of the community so that they too can enjoy the mods.

Thank you so much for this guide NicBrolnc, I grealy appreciate both your easy-to-digest guide and your entertaining sense of humour. I have a problem: I have installed everything according to your instructions, however I don't seem to have The Old Republic era or the KOTOR galactic conquest mode, only the BFX, KOTOR and OG BF1 eras and maps. Is The Old Republic era seperate in a mod that isn't the conversion pack? And as for the KOTOR galactic conquest mode, isn't that supposed to be part of the conversion pack? Thank you in advance man.

Thanks to u I have this wonderful mod working

Thank's dude! You helped me a lot

Had to reinstall all my mods and it had been so long. Many thanks brother!

Thanks for the help my friend!

Absolute legend

Very helpful and entertaining, thank u

my man!! 👧🤜 💥 🤛👨

I'm also having an issue. I think certain things like the 1.3 patch are appearing in folders they're not supposed to be despite following instructions exactly. To verify: the 1.3 patches folder is labeled "AAA-v1.3patch" right? For some reason it ended up in my addon folder inside Gamedata next to the BF1 folder. Now I also have a "v1.3" folder under Gamedata, not in the addon folder. I have downloaded everything else in order all the way up to the point of downloading the 1.3. Hope I can get a little clarity here when you get the chance.

My game is fine has the maps and all but the selection is messed up, it’s like someone stuck the arrow down when trying to use the menu or the map selection

does this fix the game spy thing? i had 1.3 and marvel 4's conversion pack, and then added the convo pack and it switched my game servers to game spy....

Can someone help me? When I install the v1.3 patch to the Battlefront ll folder path, it still downloads straight to the addon file.

Am I the only one getting this error? WARNING - Safty check failed: "BattlefrontII.exe=BattlefrontII.exe" does not exist Halting to prevent possible folder damage Press any key to continue . . . I don't understand I did the thing where it only had one gamedata...what did I miss?

I did everything exactly as shown the right way but it just makes my game close. Ill open it and half way through the loading screen it just closes with no crash message or anything.

Does it make a difference if you download 130 first and then the conversion pack? Is the conversion pack the 130 version?

it crashes the game when i play the campaign, is there a fix to this?

The game crashes after the Dolby Surround logo appears,i have installed the 1.3 patch and Battlefront II remastered (the one that improves the HUD,not the graphics

my screen is going black whenever I try to play as the BFX factions. Same thing happens when I play as the KOTOR factions. Same thing even happens when I play default factions (say clone wars not BFX version) on default planets (like Corusaunt). It works fine for about 10 seconds then the screen goes black. What's really weird is when I pause the game, the screen goes back to normal. Then the moment I resume gameplay it goes black again....not sure what the heck is going on but now my game doesn't work AT ALL. Any Ideas???

Hey, the last time I played BF 2 was a few months ago, and today I opened the game and appeared a "Disney Service Contract", that I should agree to play the game, just like the "terms of use" when you buy the game on Steam. But there was a paragraph saying this: "You agree not to use any software or device that allows automated gameplay, expedited gameplay, or other manipulation of gameplay or game client and you agree not to cheat or otherwise modify a Disney Service or game experience to create an advantage for one user over another". Does this means the mods? I installed these mods on july, and I played a lot the game with theses mods, but do you believe this will cause some trouble now? By the way, I bought the game from Steam.

No estoy 100% seguro. Sé que por cada mod de conversión total que instales, cada Era agregada a un mapa del juego cuenta como un mapa nuevo. Nunca he usado Rising Son, pero es posible que esté agregando más mapas de los que tu juego puede manejar. Por ejemplo, BFX agrega un mapa BFX Clone y BFX Galactic Civil War a cada mapa, creando 4 mapas para cada nivel. El KOTOR se recorta mucho por alguna extraña razón, pero si no lo hicieran, contarían como una quinta versión del mapa. Realmente no puedes usar más de 2 modificaciones de conversión a la vez sin encontrarte con los límites de número de mapas.
