Warning for Patch 1.02

Lots of people are having issues when running the Battlefield 2 patches. The patch may refuse to install with the message 'Patching Failed', no other explanation. See here for further attempts at resolving this issue. Be aware that these remedies don't always work.

One of the most common fixes is to have at least 2.5Gb free on your main drive (not sure if this is the drive BF2 is installed on, or the drive with your temporary files)
Ensure that the installation directory in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2\InstallDir) points to the correct location, otherwise it will say the patch was a success but actually have done nothing
Ensure your TEMP/TMP variables point to a destination that exists.

Notes

Release Notes
Can be installed over clean install or 1.01 patch
Reports as v1.01 in Readme and Updater
More of a hotfix than a full new version (note naming convention, still 1.01)
You may need up to 2Gb free on your drive for the patch to install properly. Insufficient hard drive space for a normal install will give you a generic 'failed' response. (The game rearranges all its files, you've got me as to why this happens.)
