Well i did this:
Find:
%s.available.gamespy.com
Replace with:
%s.swbfspy.com

Find:
%s.master.gamespy.com
Replace with:
%s.swbfspy.com

Find:
%s.ms%d.gamespy.com
Replace with:
%s%d.swbfspy.com

and it didnt load the server list ingame
so i even tried to replace all "gamespy" with "swbfspy"
still nothing....i thought by hex editing the exe it should work?

It will if it is done properly.  But you can also just download the patched exe from here or use a host file edit.

Are you looking at SWBF or SWBF2?

Also note that this thread got necroed, so I will lock it and split your topic off.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet

Replacing gamespy with swbfspy targets more items than just domain names so it's more than likely you broke game code somewhere. To tell the hex editing app to be more specific, replace gamespy.com with swbfspy.com

If you got a backup game exe I recommend starting over to be sure everything goes well.
Never let a person named AnthonyBF2 touch your BF2.

I fixed it, thanks!
It was SWBF and the autoreplacement did it wrong(the 00 were incorrect) so I did it manually and now it works.
