I have zipped up the launcher files for you.

your launcher files are in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\First Strike

Download the zipped folder First Strike from here:
https://skydrive.live.com/embedicon.asp … =documents

Unzip it, then place the folder contents in to your launcher address so it overwrites the files. it should all work after that.

Good luck.

First Strike

To fix DVD error if this is correct:

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142
Find two files, bf2142pace.exe (can also be called bf2142.exe or BF2142Launcher.exe) and also find FirstStrike.exe, both files are in the above address.

Copy BF2142pace (or whatever it is called it depends on version of 2142) to your desktop.

Rename your copied file to FirstStrike (must be spelled exactly as it is in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142 folder).

Now cut and paste your NEW FirstStrike.exe file to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142 so it overwrites the previous version. Then try again.

The BF2142Pace.exe or whatever it is called file is about 6967kb or 7mb in size if that helps you locate it. The FS one needs to be about the same size, thats why we copy and paste.

I have tried to make it simple to follow, but as with anything in computers it can get a bit technical. If you would like more help let me know. This error is common enough I might make a quick video about it.
