    After a few days of dealing with the problem, I solved it myself, by trial and error. Well, when the game requires a newer driver, just enter the registry and change one entry. Well, I have the 17.7 driver. I go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then SYSTEM then ControlSet001 then Control then Class and looking for an entry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ ControlSet001 \ Control \ Class \ {4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} then 0000 and RadeonSoftwarteVersionRadeonSoftwareVersion. Then rename 17.7 ( that was mine driver) on 18.5.1 ( required to start BF2) . Enter and Voila , You can Play the game 🙂  For me on win7 64 and radeon RX570 WORKS!

    BTW. 

    It is sick to run the game on the same engine from 2017 you need to have new drivers and in fact the game works on old ones. I understand performance improvement issues, but why the hell does the game need new drivers? Shame EA / Dice ... shame.
