Re: Shaders/StaticMeshes.fx fix

The "No cd/dvd in drive" error even when you do have the disc in the drive is a known 2142 error. I think it's got something to do with shatner disc protection. Anyway if you get that error just try again until you get in.

You should also always start First Strike through the launcher, not through the community tab.

I would suggest you try downloading the latest version of the Launcher here: http://www.woodat.com/builds/pubclient/ … .0.8.2.zip

Just unzip wherever you like (if you unzip it to your currrent launcher location i would suggest you remove the current one first). If you're still having trouble after using this new launcher, come back here and tell us about it.

Re: Shaders/StaticMeshes.fx fix

The current launcher i am using is the 0.8.2 version, fs mod is patched to version 4.13

Re: Shaders/StaticMeshes.fx fix

hmm. you can try going to your My Documents folder, then navigate to Battlefield 2142\mods\FirstStrike, and deleting the cache folder found there. Then try joining a local game and it will optimize shaders again

Re: Shaders/StaticMeshes.fx fix

That was one of the first things i done, was deleted the fs cache in my documents. Even reinstalled the launcher to it's current version but still no joy. Even tried launching it via the first strike.exe in the 2142 main folder.

Even on computer start up it gives me the no cd error message
