Topic: clients crashing to desktop, unable to select spawn points and spawn.

I am having the following problem with my server. Whenever anyone joins, 90% of the time they crash to desktop after the first map finishes loading. If theymake it in, they can not select a spawn point, or they can but can not deploy.

I have no clue at this point. I have tried changing several random settings in bfcc but no luck - voip, titan movement, unlocks, different maps etc... The clients can join other servers without having this problem - but when they try to connect to our server we get the above problems.


I did the following to install while the server was not running.

1. FTPd the first strike folder into my server mods directory.
2. copied over my modmanger.con file from the bf2142 folder.
3. set up a profile for it in bf2142cc (latest version)
4. put in FS maps except endor.
5. started server using bfcc.

everything seems like it is running normal from within bfcc.

server IP:64.34.212.161:16567


Any help would be most appreciated.

Re: clients crashing to desktop, unable to select spawn points and spawn.

As far as ive seen in the forums, bf2142cc is not compatible with FS. (Sticky post info on CC and Mods http://2142cc.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=188 hope it helps)

Youll probably need to manually edit your server files for FF, Rotation, Auto Teams etc etc. Run the server without going thru bf2142cc. Apart from that, I have no other pieces of info at the moment.

Oh, and if you do get the server running. Take Endor out of rotation for now, it has some issues that will need a hot fix and constantly crashes servers and clients. Cheers.

Re: clients crashing to desktop, unable to select spawn points and spawn.

That is the same thing we did.

I have also noticed the disconnects.


After our squad members and I deleted the cache from

Documents\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\cache

~~~~~~~~~~~~~and~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Documents\Battlefield 2142\FirstStrike

our crash to desktop went away except on Endor.

Good Luck!

Hope you get it going soon!

Your solution did not fix our problem. I am going to do a manual edit of files. I will start the server using the game control panel of my gamehost - rather than bfcc and report back a solution to my problem. I suspect some other fewl has done whatever I have and will stumble upon this post.

Last resort I will do a server reinstall.

Re: clients crashing to desktop, unable to select spawn points and spawn.

closer inspection of server files reveals that it was a borked install. FTP transfer stopped and did not transmit the settings folder.

hoping this will resolve.

Re: clients crashing to desktop, unable to select spawn points and spawn.

Just log into the shell of your server and download it using wget. If its a Windows server, well. Just FTP and hope smile
