We were trying to play on bandomeer_refinery_assault with a friend. (this map is working perfecly on single player)

First bug:
We were unable to select a flag to spawn. So I edited the server.zip and added the missing gpm_coop folder and copied the content of gpm_sp in it.

> > > This resolved the first bug.

Second bug:
When my friend join the server in any of those mods: conquest, conquest_coop, the game will crash and return to Windows.

> > > This is where we need your help !

Support: Replaced with a dedicated Sniper (Scout) class, and its weapons and abilities have been redistributed to other classes. The Scout is armed with (in addition to the melee weapon and pistol) the Soldier's Sniper weapon, MicroBinoculars, and Tracking Beacon from the Soldier class (Still a work in progress)

Soldier: Replaced the Sniper weapon with the former primary weapon of the Support Class (Bowcaster and MG-15). Replaced the MicroBinoculars with Thermal Detonators (for some anti-vehicle firepower, and somewhat in honor of Star Wars Battlefront). Removed Tracking Beacon.

Heavy Weapons: Split into two different versions. One for vehicular-based maps, and one for infantry maps (using the existing heavy_weapons and heavy_weapons_sp classes in the mod files). Both replace the Personal Shield Generator with a Fusion Cutter, and gain anti-personnel mines from the former Support Class. The vehicular-based map version starts out with a rocket launcher and the infantry map version starts out with a repeating blaster. Maps are modfied where appropriate to make use of the right class.

Medic: Gains the DEMP2 as a unlockable weapon. Gains an Ammo Box to replace the Support class's E-Web generator (slight reference to the Pilot/Engineer class in Battlefront, in how they can both restore health and resupply ammo).

Well, this is how I set it up, just for ideas. May I suggest if the FSdev team, if they were to use this idea, use special offline versions of each map (or offline gamemodes, at least) and offline classes meant for these maps so the regular maps don't need to be modified. If a player was connected to the EA servers, then they can use the normal maps and classes because everything will be unlocked as intended.

FYI, there seems to be a critical error with Windows 7/8 using the launcher. I'm not sure how it is with the new launcher, but certainly using the server launcher and the 1.5 one there seem to be some conflicts with UAC settings. The game downloads/installs the patches as normal, however on completion it seems to delete everything in the /mods folder including bf2142 and leaves only the fsbuild_1021.zip and it's unzipped contents (so basically /firststrike/levels/jundland_wastes).  We've been unable to tell if running things in admin mode fixes it (at the moment this is our only idea, it's only effected people running with some level of UAC), as it bricked 2142 requiring an install, however it's a pretty major problem. We're not too sure why as the only things I can see deleting stuff is removelist.txt, and it doesn't call 2142 at any point.

At the moment I'm in the process of uploading a file which allows manual updating of the mod to build 1021 from 1.5, which will work for servers and clients, I'll post the link here once it's done. You just simply copy/paste the files in place and approve all overwrites.  For now I think there needs to be a message on the old and new launcher alerting people of this problem so they don't break their games!

EDIT: Any news on the full installer? I was hoping to get a group in to play this Saturday, but can't throw them all the links if there is risk it will break their game

EDIT2: New launcher seems to have the same issue, but it doesn't delete the 2142 folder. All that is left after patching is the contents of build 1021.

Thank you.

The ones that always crash are like Battle of Yavin, Encounter at Mos Entha, Battle of Ryloth.

I've tried deleting cache, that gets me past Deploy, but in Battle of Yavin for example, all that pops up is the pre-spaw.  I can see the map and the background, but I can't click anything to choose my spawn points, to spawn, or even exit.  I can hear the mouse go over the options, but when I click nothing happens.  Sometimes deleting cache doens't work.

The only maps that so far are loading perfectly for me are the two Endor maps, Clearing and Assualt.

I'm sure this question has  come up before, but I haven't located anything already posted that worked.

If it helps, I have Version 1.5, Windows 7 32 Bit.

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
4 gigs DDR2 ram
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16 GHz
Some Mobo from Gigabyte

If I've missed anything from my specs that is required to know please let me know. I've already done a forum search, twice. I found nothing that can help me.

Just to make myself clear, I get no little splash screen of any kind. Not the 2142 splash screen or if First Strike has one, not even that. I just hit launch, black screen, crash error. Thank you in advance.

Did I miss something when installing?
I look forward to playing with everyone on the weekend and I hope this issue can be quickly resolved.

Thanks!

computer specs just in case:
Win7 64bit
i7 960
hd 5870
6gb corsair 1600 ram

PLz help:)

Going to the menu with [Esc] and [Alt]+[Tab]ing out and back in fixes the HUD. But once I enable 3D icons it freezes again.

W7 and a Nvidia card here.
