Don't apply the nocd patch when you have the image in DT loaded. That nocd patch is only for offline play. Restore your original exe file and you'll be set.

hey you cant play online with a fixed exe thats why you need to used a fixed image

if u keep trying to your cd key will be banned.

use alcohol 120% 1.9.5 build 4521.

since its dvd you dont have a protection profile to choose so you'll have to just make the image then copy it to the image drive and it should work.


Here in Australia the game was only released yesterday so i have pre ordered it but its gonna take a week to get here. which sucks.


hey folks i have an idea

have any of yas used gamejack. it will allow you to create a image file and you can then use this special program within it to run the game off a fixed dvd disk.

good think is this will allow yas to create a backup.

problem with me in i dont want to waste 3 gigs on a image as that makes the game equal 6 gigs. so thats why i need a mini image.


btw pansen i been on russian sites too i cant make sence of it myself lol or german sites for that matter.

i speak 2 languages english and very bad english.

anyways thanks folks and i'll sit back and see how things go i cant help anymore as i dotn have the game yet but i'll have me it next week.

gamejack shouldnt be blocked out by the protection btw
the protection is Safedisc V4

So is there a working mini-image at all?

I got my bf2142 delivered online but the dvd came broken and I can't get a refund.

I really need a mini-image so I can play online. There has to be a way...

There is a way!! By contacting the publisher for a replacement disc!

Read the Forum Rules! No disc = no help!!

Are you saying if I ask for another disk they will just give me one?

Because all I really have is my cd-key and my receipt in my email.

You need to show/send them a proof of purchase: broken DVD, invoice etc. Ask them for details.

hmmm the ea downloader exe might actually work ya know

but it'll be chnaged as soon as the next patch comes out

ea downloader is up to date with 1.01

but bf2142 will likely have about 20 patches before the end of its time so that fixed exe will work till 1.02 patch comes out in like 3 weeks time.

the idea of a fixed image to so that the game is not modified.

if the exe file or any other file in the game is modified other then profile files then punkbuster will pick it up thats why 40.000 cd keys where banned from bf2 mate.

a fixed image makes punkbuster think its the original disk because no files have been modified.

if you wish to play single player then a fixed exe will work. and there must be some crack out there to allow you to unlock all the weapons and everything for single player mode.

anyways has anyone tried gamejack yet?

I wasn't able to make a mini image, but I was able to make a full image. And, out of curiosity, I tried that exe that someone posted previously, and can confirm that it will start the game and allow you to log in. I did not actually go into a game using it. I do not know if it is an ea downloader exe or not. If so, it is probably safe to use. If not, then if punkbuster kicks you too many times, your cd key will get banned.
