Ok... So today I bought BF 2142 from the shop cuz I saw it for cheap and have wanted it for a while eh? I install it eveything works fine... EA tells me a patch is availiable... But EADM doesn't seem to like my PC (says I need the latest adobe flash update when I have it) so I downloaded the latest patch from a 3rd party server... It was totally safe mind you...
Now before I ran the patch the game ran fine, but now when I double click the icon it give me a white splash screen for a few seconds and nothing happens! Any help please? I've tried re installing it, get the same probs!
PS: Don't even have to patch it now as of 5:37 PM GMT +10, just wont start up...
You only need EADM for Northern strike. 1.5 conflicts with NS so you have to install all patches in a certain order. I think its 1.2, install NS. Patch to 1.4, reinstall NS. Repatch NS. INCRIMENTAL patch 1.5. I think thats the order.
If you only need the new version of BF2142, go onto BF website and download from the side bar. I used to have probs with my instalation, can remember exactly how I fixed. 2142's a great game, pitty the patch system can screw up.
EDIT: Also I recomend you download 1.4 full and then the 1.5 incramental, that has the most chance of working.
