Battlefield 2142 Weird Issue I Need Help With

AndrewJ · 24-04-2007, 20:02

Hi all.

Last night I finished a good few rounds on Battlefield 2142, no issues, today after having the pc run overnight on a defragment, the game loads, on the sign in screen I am told their is a new patch available, checking EA link it shows only 1.20, and says a newer version is installed

, on attempting to join multiple servers I am told what you see in the screenshot.

I do not mod my BF2142 install, to remedy this so far I have tried.
1) Reboot totally clearing all cache
2) Totally reinstalled BF2142, removed all data, registry keys folders etc from the computer, rebooted, and installed BF2142 from my official disk, and then installed patch 1.20 and Northern Strike using EA Link.

I am still getting this issue and am unable to remedy it.

Help!

Mmmmm, no idea I'm afraid. Have you tried contacting EA ?

Their forums are useless, I am thinking perhaps somethings wrong with Punkbuster, but this pc is always shutdown correctly and run in a mature manner I don't let idiots onto my rig

Baffled by this one though to be honest.

patch 1.25 was released today, and it's another biggie at 287mb so could try that. http://files.i3d.nl/download.php?cat..._1.25_full.exe

other than that try updating pb or reinstalling it, a couple of my fellow clan members have found that pb had been running extra processes in the background, they made fix (will see if i can find it, but not at fault for any probs).

That looks like it

cheers strange how BF2142 come up with that error and howcome EA Link does not have it listed

Snag is I am addicted to that game

good fun with the right team.

Nice to see they've toned down the sentry guns them things could fire at you from half a mile away was a little annoying

same as, but not long moved and spending to much time away working (in a hotel room in wakefield as i type this) so must try to make time at the weekend for a session.

the sentry guns accuracy wasn't so much the prob as the shooting through walls and round corners if you wern't careful
