Thread: Northern Strike issue

Anyways, I have tried the uninstall-reinstall 2142-patch-install NS-patch. No go.

So the question is; do any of you have a lot of know-how, a big heart and x-fire or similar? Cause I could use some real time help with walkthroughs and such.

My X-fire is wolverinebrother.

Thanks.

Having the same issue , I expect EA is aware of this , or better yet I will forward your post to them. Instead of writing one of my own.

message from server : this server does not not allow modified content , please reinstall battlefield 2142 to it's original state and try joining later. Each time the Northern Strike maps come up this is the message we get , from a patched 1.40 server and client .

This little help you need:

go to start and go to run type regedit to edit the registry.
Than go to the location like this:
[This computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA GAMES\batlefield 2142]
Than doubleclick the version to change 1.40 to a earlier version like 1.25

Hope this helps


also might delete the old registry of 1.25 first.

I had this problem when I first installed NS. I found some info that said to rerun the patch after the NS install (this was 1.25 at the time). I did so and the problem was solved. In other words, installing NS over a patched game reverts the version, and the current patch must be rerun to get the game back to current version. I haven't had to reinstall recently, and I don't know if the 1.40 patch is cumulative or not, so if you have to reinstall you may want to install the original game, then NS, then run 1.25 (if 1.40 isn't cumulative), then run the 1.40 patch. If 1.40 is a cumulative patch (includes all changes made to the software in all the previous patches) then running that should bring everything in the game up to current version.

I love VS, it made L4D for me, but scavenge I think is perhaps equally amazing. The pressure of time, little items and focus on the specials makes it awesome, as does the shorter games which make it easier for me to play a full game of.

Scavenge. Simple answer is because it takes less time than a vs match.
