Thread: I GOT IT TO WORK!

After 8 months of not playing 2142, I finally figured out how to implement the SecuROM fix, I just had to replace the BF2142.EXE with a fixed version from SecuROM... the problem had to do with DVD drivers, and I had the "Conflict with Emulation software detected"

If anyone has this problem post here and I'll post the solution, too lazy to do it now(more like I'll be shooting lasers at people ASAP)

I also gave up my BlackValkyrie, my first soldier which is 2nd to brig gen, and made SpiritOfF1re. Let the invites start flowing, please 8)

Oh yeah, that's what causes that emulation error. Please post the solution since I have to reload my 2142. PB claims that my installation is corrupted. My RAID may be dying as I noticed other corrupted files recently, and originally thought some malware actually got past my Avira + Webroot + Spyware Doctor + (a few other tool) combination.

1. Download this zip file:
http://www.securom.com/support/custo...033/BF2142.zip
2. Save the zip file, extract it and replace bf2142.exe located on your hard drive by the one you've just downloaded.

I used that, but here is a slightly more informative.

an E-mail from SecuROM

Please download a new <BF2142.EXE> from the link below. I would appreciate it if you could rename your current one to

<C:/PROGRAM FILES/ELECTRONIC ARTS/BATTLEFIELD 2142 DELUXE EDITION/BF2142.EXE.OLD >

Extract the downloaded file into the application path mentioned and start the new application.

The link for the new file is:

http://www.securom.com/support/custo...033/BF2142.zip

And here is someone's theory/explanation of the problem

The emulation message was caused by a conflict between SecuROM and some old firmware on DVD players especially Samsung. SecuROM fixed this after Update 1.50 was released which is why they have a new exe file on their website.

If you don't get the error message you don't need to do anything, if you do get an error then try the SecuROM websites version of BF2142.exe.
