Fact is, even if we get a patch out for the launcher, I'm not sure we would be able to get something that would cater for every variant of 2142, so some people would still need to customise the .exe which is incredibly simple to do. Believe me, I'm as frustrated as anyone at the lack of action to get the launcher sorted.

Patch 1.51 for 2142 is already out. The total conversion mod First Strike does not require a patch to work with 1.51. The dedicated launcher for First Strike requires an update, but you should still be able to launch the mod by starting 2142 then going to the community tab and custom games then selecting First Strike. Or you can just do the file copy,rename,replace procedure that has already been posted.

If you are incapable of doing either method then I got to ask, how do you manage to switch your computer on without assistance each day? If you really need everything to work first time round without any action on your part then take up console gaming. PC gaming doesn't always run smoothly, at the moment we're attempting to get everything we need to sort out an update for the launcher but I don't know how long it will take. Since there are three variants of 2142 and each has a different .exe that must be analysed prior to issuing an update it isn't as straightforward as you obviously believe.

Dude, I didn't mean myself. I'm talking about pubbers who don't go on the forums. FS works for me on 1.51. I'm sorry, but you totally misunderstood what I meant.

Well, until a patch comes out, don't expect many players on.

CG has started so where are all the players??!

Come on guys! just played an epic round of Yavin, Rebel Defiance is currently running co-op maps with 40 bots.

*Sniffle* Couldn't even be bothered to mention me along with those bots... I see how it is ;(

It doesn't matter if the maps arn't perfect or someone thinks its unbalanced in some way. Variety does matter. Variety retains players.

This way if only one person is on he can choose his favorite map to explore - say run a T-16 on Jundland 64 through the canyon, etc.

This way ppl can maximixe their fun by choosing any map they like and get on the server.

If they are on long enough others are more likely to join.

16 slots may not sound a lot, but if interest increases then it may be increased to cope with demand. For now though, post up with what maps you'd like (and state if you would like to see co-op added or not!) and lets see what we can do!
