Re: Shaders/StaticMeshes.fx fix

Okay, I am brand spamking new to the first strike Mod. I am up to date with the newest battlefield 2142 patch, which I believe is 1.4, and I believe I have the 1.1 patch for First Strike... When I try to play it though... I get no servers to select from.... There is no single player, so I go to multiplayer, but when the server update runs its course there is nothing.... Is there something ELSE that I have to download??

Thanks

Re: Shaders/StaticMeshes.fx fix

Same thing happened to me.  Weirdest thing.  So I ended up starting BF2142, then ran FS from within 2142.  Later on I decided to have one more look at the FS shortcut properties.  I noticed the extra bit "\mods\Firstrike" in the 'start in' line.  Removed that bit leaving it to end with "....\BF2142" and voila, I can now start the mod from the desktop shortcut.  Mind you I did notice later that starting BF2142 caused a memory dump.  Running chkdsk and then deleting the BF2142 folder from "my documents" seems to have helped.

Re: Shaders/StaticMeshes.fx fix

If paths are correct and reinstall of FS didn't work, and the error appears also when you launch BF2142, before you reinstall BF2142 try this:

copy the file
...\Battlefield 2142\mods\Firststrike\shaders_client.zip
to
...\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\

Re: Shaders/StaticMeshes.fx fix

hi, thought i would fire up first strike again but seem to get afew problems. On the initial patch to version 13, i ran it via local server and got a ctd on when it finished optimizing shaders.

Started the launcher and got the 2142 logo then no cd in drive even when the disc is physically spinning in the drive. Tried 2142 and got the same error. i also noticed that the fslauncher.exe was still active after failure to start up. Then restarted computer. Tried 2142 and that thankfully loaded, went into the community tab to launch fs mod, got a start up then black screen and ctd.

the shortcut lancher has: target set to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\First Strike\FirstStrikeLauncher.exe"

and the start in as: "C:\Program Files (x86)\First Strike"

fs mod is located where it should be ie: battlefield2142/mods/firststrike

and the launcher: programfiles/firststrike

had this problem since version 08

any pointers on how to fix this?
