Re: [SOLVED @ Page 2] Cannot play the game after several good installs

I am now downloading three (3) updates directed in the following post here at this forum;
http://forums.fsmod.com/viewtopic.php?id=11130
FirstStrike
Grabbing 1.4, 1.5 and 1.51 at the link he directed.
Running 1.4, then 1.5. then 1.51
Hoping and praying I do not get told again that i already have the newest version.
Will update on progress.....

Re: [SOLVED @ Page 2] Cannot play the game after several good installs

Sorry you're having so much trouble with this Firemcd, hopefully if we do decide to move forward with a standalone version it'll make all these issues a moot point.

Good luck with it.

Re: [SOLVED @ Page 2] Cannot play the game after several good installs

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried running all 3 updates in Administrator mode like 3 times a piece. FINALLY, the 1.50 agreed to run and did so. Then I was able to run 1.51 and it was a success. Successfully ran game in space battle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will be replacing FS 1.6  with the Beta tomorrow evening and giving that a run.
The special exe that bypasses internet sign-in, and takes you right to the screen where you select "singleplayer" as your player, worked flawlessly as well!
Needless to say, I am relieved and really, really grateful for the attention from the devs team/MODS !!!
What a gorgeous game!!!
PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I am going to write up a First Strike Installation for Dummies next week and post it here, with the permission of the forum MODS of course. I think a VERY DETAILED walkthrough of the whole install process leaving NOTHING to the imagination would have A LOT MORE SW lovers playing and talking about this game.

Awesome news!   A detailed tutorial based on your experience upgrading from windows 10 would be great.   I upgraded to windows 10, but already had BF2142 installed.

Re: [SOLVED @ Page 2] Cannot play the game after several good installs

Yeah, that is grand news. Always good to see new fans getting the opportunity to play and experience our game. Spread the word far and wide.

You want to see what it was like in the heyday when you'd have servers chock full of live players. Still I think you'll find our bots can still provide a worthy challenge.

Enjoy.

That would be very helpful as I can't get the game to run at all. Vanilla works but crashes mid-game at random times.
