delete all registry keys regarding 2142 and ea games and electronic arts.
in
HKLM/software
HKCU/software

delete the folder containing the game too, uninstalling doesnt remove the folder !

then reinstall

Thanks but I tried both actually and they both failed .

GOOD NEWS THOUGH! I just downloaded the incremental again (less time) from a different source and it worked! So fellas... try that and I hope it solves the issue for you aswell. Good luck and may the Force be with you.

Ok I think I found out what might be the problem on my end anyway. I just opened up 2142 and on the EA account log in page it still says "v1.40". So basically I'm going to have to assume that the second patch I downloaded for 2142 didn't work. It's not the first time that this has happened.

It's a miracle that the FS team was able to make this mod with EA's excellent (yes~I'm being sarcastic) programming and support. So anyway, for you guys having the same issue; you might want to start up a game of 2142 just to see what version it says. As for myself, I'm going to try to download 1.5 for the 3rd time. WOOOO! I love crap-shoot downloading!

I don't know... I installed FS first and patched 2142 to 1.5 afterwards. Still getting the bug. Wish there was a def answer to this problem.

Well, I found out that FS will not work if you install FS over 1.5 you need to install FS before you install 1.5

Yeah I just did that, didn't work\

And also bandu, when I try to install 1.25 over 1.5, it says that there's nothing to do and it's already updated.

I got the same error with the 1.5 patch.

First, download the FULL 1.5 patch (500MBish). No incremental.

Uninstall 2142 and FS.

Reinstall 2142, patch to 1.5.

Reinstall FS, patch to 1.25.

That worked for moi.

If all else fails, I can coach somebody how to use the registry editor and clear the ea games reg keys to allow clean install.

The fact is though that most people will not download 1.2, 1.25 and 1.5, they'll just download 1.5 full. I haven't tried playing with only 1.5 full though.

I'll see if what you suggested works though.

I got mine workin recently by :

Installing BF 1.5 patch
Uninstalling FS
Installing FS 1.2 (full)
Installing FS 1.25 patch
Installing BF 1.5 patch(again)

Allowed me to play on the Mandrake server anyway

Re: Modified Content error

2008-06-01T00:53:36Z

Well I just installed in this order...

1.4
Northern Strike
1.4 (Updated for NS)
1.4-1.5
FS patch 1.2
FS patch 1.25

No luck.

when I first installed 1.5 it took a while and even updated shaders again. Had mod content recently, took like three installs of Bf2142 and FS to clear it.
