Step-By-Step Guide to Modding BF2 (online and offline) (2024)

In preparation for KYBER V2,the servers of V1 have been switched offline. Once KYBER V2 is released, Frosty Mod Manager will no longer be required to play STAR WARS Battlefront II with mods. This, and the fact that KYBER V2 will be translated into many languages - including German - means that this guide will become obsolete. I have therefore decided not to update it anymore.
For those who still prefer to use Frosty instead of KYBER: You can find a current English guide by Stoichiom here. In addition, the latest version of my guide (v1.7.2) will still be available for download.

All information about KYBER V2 can be found at https://uplink.kyber.gg/ and/or on the KYBER Discord: https://discord.gg/kyber.

• v1.2 - Added several new pieces of information, including (among others) information about FrostyModManager V1.0.6.2 BETA1, the mod limit and the Datapath Fix, and links to the tutorials by VictorPL, Yeke and Stoichiom, of which the Frosty Guide can be found here on Nexus as well. Thanks to btec math, Acribro and Stoichiom for the suggestions for improvement and for answering some questions I had.
• v1.3 - With Battlefront Plus being updated to V7, this guide was updated as well. Contains links to / instructions for the new download sites. Added a link to the Battlefront Plus Discord.
• v1.4 / v1.4S - Made major changes to the Datapath Fix & FrostyFix part and some minor changes to other parts. Added a short version.
• v1.5 / v1.5S - Updated for Battlefront Plus V8. Made some minor changes here and there. Both the standard and the short version are now put into one file.
• v1.6 / v1.6S - New page with information on wannkunstbeikor's new Steam Fix. Now uses/links Dyvinia's new Custom Initfs.
• v1.7 - With Battlefront+ now having its own website, I removed the parts that explained how to install the mod. I have also decided to discontinue the short version of the guide. Some changes here and there. The page about the Steam Fix has been removed as 1.0.6.3 doesn't require it anymore.
• v1.7.1 - Minor update to the Invis Fix / Custom Initfs part, as Dyvinia's BetterInitfs is now a plugin.
• v1.7.2 - Minor improvements and additions here and there.
