I'll give that a shot. I thought I had the most up to date version of PunkBuster, but maybe not. Here's hoping that will fix it. I'm anxious to get back into those frenetic Star Wars battles. Pure awesomeness. cool

UPDATE: Hey, I think it worked! I updated the PunkBuster files manually (2142 vanilla wouldn't auto-update and I kept getting kicked hmm) and now I can play both 2142 vanilla AND First Strike online without gettin' "the axe". big_smile Thanks, Twigs! cool

The only thing is I haven't been able to test either in a LAN game with my dad. The PC he was using isn't available right now. So I gotta wait... bummer. sad

If it doesn't then do a google on how to update punkbuster, I'm too lazy to find a link for you myself tongue

networking, no idea, never tried it. All I can suggest is to make sure both of you are running the same version and fully updated (1.4). For online servers, I suggest using only BI or RSF as they are guaranteed to be up to date, maybe the server you tried is running an older FS version.

If none of that works, well then I'm afraid it could be time to start doing a full reinstall of 2142 up to version 1.5 then installing FS 1.4, maybe even consider downloading from a different mirror in case yours is corrupted.

You you installed the right version of FS and had it update properly?

Yes I did. Funny thing is, all of a sudden 2142 vanilla decides to start working again last night. And First Strike is still working. AND the Battle of Yavin mission is now working. lol Don't know what happened, but they work now.

However, I've encountered a new set of problems. I can't join any servers 'cause stupid Punkbuster's booting me for having "modified game content". My dad's having the same problems. Also, I can't setup a LAN game for him and I 'cause of the "modified content" error. hmm It tells me to launch the game from the FS launcher to avoid this issue, except I am. Doesn't matter who hosts, either.

So I uninstalled FS, re-installed it, updated it, tested it, and still having these problems. Argh! Please help.

Sorry to bump this topic, guys, but I'm frothing at the mouth here. lol Please help!

I'm back! *if anyone remembers me lol* I FINALLY got a PC I can play games on, so naturally I'm stoked to be back in First Strike (been without a proper PC for what seems like an eternity hmm ).

Anyway, my new PC runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I have an ATI Radeon HD 5750 gfx card and it runs it fairly good. All the settings are at max, but I notice a few minor graphical glitches hear and there. Although they were the same ones I had trouble with on my old PC. The only MAJOR problem I'm having is Yavin IV. Either it doesn't load properly or it CTDs.

Oh, one other MAJOR thing. After installing First Strike, it killed 2142 vanilla. sad I have the latest vanilla patch installed (v1.5). So I don't know what happened.

I have a Nvidia graphics card and on Battle of Yavin I had huuge lagspikes when enabling the 3D icons. BUT: It didn't crash smile As soon as I disabled them everything was smooth again. The problem still exists and has to be fixed though.

It would be a good excuse to get a 1 Gig card instead of my current 512MB too. tongue

Afaik that is to do with the nvidia drivers for windows Vista, since I run an ATi card I do not experience it.

Just have to cross our fingers that it stays as stable with the final public release of this new OS.

It runs much faster on my desktop pc than on my laptop (both are C2D at 2Ghz with ATI graphics, the laptop has 4gb of ram running Vista 64 while desktop has 2gb ram.) though there is a differance in spec I woul expect a desktop to outperform most laptops anyway.

I do find it runs much better on the Win 7 OS than on XP as well.

If so, any noticeable difference in performance?   ( Did you have to Alt-Tab to play Battle of Yavin, for example?)
