I deleted the home subfolder and it’s contents and then ran this command:
This was achieved using a Windows “symbolic link”, creating a link within the Battlefield folder to my real My Documents folder.
My H: drive is configured for offline files, so if this worked then it would continue to do so even when I wasn’t attached to the company network.
However looking in my Steam folder showed me that a folder had been created when I tried to run the game, with a subfolder home, so perhaps if Battlefield wanted to look there I just needed to point that at my real home directory. Following the advice given on the forums of resetting my My Documents to the default C:\Users\username path was not an option, neither was setting up different mappings on the server side. A quick Google showed up a number of people have had a similar issue, and it was down to the My Documents folder in Windows being redirected to a network share.Īs I mentioned, this is a corporate build laptop so “My Documents” is redirected to the H: drive or in UNC terms \\\home\. Other Steam games were running fine in this configuration, the internet connection was functioning, and there was plenty of disk space- nothing obvious that would cause an error.
The Steam installation is on a removable hard drive attached to a “corporate” build Windows 7 Laptop. I had a brand new installation of Battlefield 2 today, provided via Steam, which upon opening would give a “LOGERROR_unable to open current profile” error message and then close before I was able to play the game.
