In these times of desperation ...
When it seems no hope will find you ...
You can always sacrifice a chicken to please the hamsters of binary corruption.
You must hang the dead chicken over the computer, and chant obscure bhuddist phrases
for at least 6 hours while not taking your eye off the chicken.

In other words - when everything logical fails , go illogical!

Alright, this might be the only chance, but try to reinstall 2142 again, but this time install and patch FS last, that means you update 2142 to 1.5, then you install and patch FS.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I used to have this problem ever since 1.25 came out, when I patched to 1.25 to 1.3, it appears that my 1.25 might have been corrupted. To fix this, I just installed 1.2 and patched to 1.3 from 1.2, FS worked ever since.

Yes I can play 1.25 fine !

we updated (patched our server to 1.3 )

then patched our pc's to 1.3 ( multiple times with different downloads) still a no-go to ours or anyone else's server

I am at a total loss as to the problem....

You can play 1.25 online?

That may be the problem. Are you trying to connect to a server that is running 1.25? If so, thats why the Unmodified Content is showing.

that sucks dude I wish we could help you more. Just hope that someone comes up with an idea that works for you.

Well we have all but given up with 1.3 we have tried multiple re-installs and multiple re-downloads of the patches 1.3 will not work all we end up with is modified content errors ..... I have reverted back to 1.25 and will play this until a fix comes along I guess .....:(

I have uninstalled FS mod and Bf2142 I even went as far as to remove all reg entries for any instance of BF2142 and FS ...... I rebooted

reinstalled bf1242
patched to 1.4
installed FS 1.2
patched bf2142 to 1.5
patched FS 1.2 to 1.3

I still get the same error modified content error

I am really out of ideas here we love this mod and the patch has rendered it useless to us

Anyone with another solution????

Re: 1.3 wrong version error

I love this mod !

bf2142 vanila worked great I played a round of it before installing fs mod

I am going to uninstall everything bf2142 related (cd keys in reg everything) and attempt this from scratch

even though I know the issue is with 1.3 because all other instances worked prior to 1.3

have you deleted your registry keys during the uninstall , before reinstall ?
I have to type this all the time, I should save a copy somehwhere.
Upon uninstalling , you must delete the resident directory ( folder) after a formal uninstall , and sometimes go as far as deleting the registry keys for 2142 and FS , before fresh reinstall.
this is sometimes required for just 2142, without FS.
Test 2142 1.5 to make very sure its working fine before taking the step of FS install.
If you dont know how to do the registry operation I will send you the procedure.

This is definitely the gamers bermuda-triangle as far as strange unexplainable phenomena.
but the effort is well worth it, ask others who didnt committ suicide before getting FS to work ...
