1010 reverts clients back to the old server versions. All servers can stay as they were.

Yup you can only play on DS atm. Will the 1010 require a server update Imperial? If so i'll give Renegade a nudge to get the RT server back up to speed.

VW-Spike. I can't confirm this, but I do belive the "April Fools" content is in the latest build. Only one server (which is offline at this moment in time) had the server-side update for this content. Until build 1010 is released, you won't be able to join any servers. It should be later today or early tomorrow, if it hasn't been done already.

Any ideas where I can get a better version that installs itself or am I doing something wrong?

It shouldn't have to be a 7zip... the program is on the sites as a .exe, all you should have to do is double click and the installer runs.

What I recomend doing is going into your download folder and delete anything first strike related. If you have any download accelorators, turn them off and download the installer again. Sorry for the inconvenience, you can get a direct link to the installer HERE

Hey spike.
once your 2142 is patched to 1.5, all you need to do is run the 1.4 install. You then launch the game via the launcher it places on your desktop- which downloads and installs updates automatically.
Once it is finished, you are ready to go.

jump in, log in and then set up your server list options like so:

make sure your view distance is set to 100% and join a server! If none are populated (as sometimes happens) join a small server and mess around/practise with guns vehicles etc while you wait for players to join.

Right click on desktop -> Nvidia Control Panel

(this point on is in "Advanced" view)

3D settings -> Manage 3D settings -> Program Settings.

Browse to find "FirstStrike.exe", force AA on in the options ocne you have it selected. Hit apply, you're done.
