Lightbulb

ok i'm a new guy to this forums and i think i've read all the posts in this thread and know what's going on...

when you applied the v1.25 crack, you had to add a new SwiffPlayer.dll file and replace the old one. to get v1.4 to work, you need the original swiffplayer.dll file in there together with the new crack and the 000000001 and 000000002 files.

the only problem i've been having with the 1.4 crack, is that when i join a server, i get disconnected because of PunkBuster. and idk what it's detecting...

When you get kicked by punkbuster it should give you an error message why it kicked you like modified files or something like that.

If you can stand losing the saves just uninstal the game, delete all folders created by the game and reinstall then patch and try the crack again!

Punkbuster is probably detecting modded files as kosmiq says!

I have been able to use the 1.4 crack successfully.

I think the problem people are having is that they haven't restored their SwiffPlayer.dll from the 1.25 crack. (credit to bigmike for reminding me of this)

I restored this file, the original bf2142.exe, and applied the official 1.4 patch from ea. Then, I copied in the 3 files and was able to run the game without incident.

I logged in and joined a few servers. I connected 3/3 without issue.

Hi Guys,

I'm a total noob who has never used a no DVD fix.

I clicked the disk icon on the 1.40 Game Copy World page and then saved the 5.67MB file to one of my folders.

When I double click on it it opens in my Notepad as a bunch of unreadable mess...

The instructions say to extract the file somewhere, but when I right click the 5.67MB file I don't have Extract to as an Option.

Does anyone have any very specific total NOOB instructions for installing this no-DVD fix???

(FYI - I have the 2142 retail DVD game fully installed and I applied the full 1.40 patch already.
And I effing HATE EA and think that a class action lawsuit for fraud should be brought against them for selling games that do not work, games which cater to a protected group (minors) in which they take advantage of by taking their money and giving them games that fail to even start up. I'm a top battlefield 2142 player (or was) until my game stopped working - "Ding" - Please insert 2142 CD in the drive and select Ok to retry" - I've seen that message about 1,000 times, and reinstalled the game about 15 times, but no matter what tricks or bull sh*t suggestions I follow given to me by crap EA tech support my game will not start up - I am desperate to just be able to play the darn game that I paid $50. (and $10. for Northern Strike) for - PLEASE HELP ME).

The file from the website is an archive file, in this case a .rar archive. You will need to install a program that can open .rar files. I suggest winrar from www.winrar.com

Ok, so I thought it was successfull. I was able to play, connect, etc. just fine right after using the patch and crack.

Now I have rebooted, and am having some problems, but I'm not sure if it's the crack or what. I'm having trouble joining servers. It's slow as hell to connect, and very slow during the loading process. By the time it hits about 50% loaded it basically freezes. The computer itself down't necesarily freeze, the cursor is animated and moves, appears to respond to ctrl alt del but has a hard time getting out of the game.

Do you have a firewall like ZoneAlarm that pops up a message asking for permissions when a program wants net access? This can be hidden behind the game screen and appears to hang the game unless you can access the message and answer it!

Good idea, I will check, but I've made the appropriate edits to me firewall permissions a while ago, and never ran into problems until the update.

UPDATE - It wasn't the crack. Everything works fine now.

I had the 60% freeze when loading a map issue. The link above shows a quick fix for this issue. Worked for me.

Don't you mean 4 files? You are supposed to copy the MSInfo file to your c:/program files/electronic arts/battlefield 2142 folder, right???

Thanks, I did that and the 1.40 crack doesn't work for me, but the 1.25 crack works fine...

I even did an Uninstall of 2142, then rebooted, then reinstall and then a patch to 1.40.
Then I extracted the 4 files to my Program Files/Battlefield 2142 Folder, but I get the error message to
"Please insert CD..." everytime I try to start the game.

I got really excited that the 1.25 crack worked...(game started up fine with no CD!!!, but you can't join any servers b/c you have to patch to 1.40) I feel I am so close to getting this to work - PLEASE HELP!

Are there any other things i can try???
