Topic: Revert to 1.4

How many of you FS players would continue to play FS if we reverted to EA patch 1.4?  It was a much more stable release from them, and the new patch simply destroys the stability of the game and is full of memory leaks and other various problems.

Re: Revert to 1.4

i would continue to play.1.5 sucks

Re: Revert to 1.4

Wow. Well I would, but getting new guys willing to sacrifice vanilla completely might be tough.
My suggestions would be
(A) find a way to run FS from a separate 1.4 directory
(B) Tough it out until we get a more stable patch.

But in answer to your question, yes I would.

Re: Revert to 1.4

A is very simple, you just install 2142, update to 1.4, copy the directory, update to 1.5, use the copied directory to play FS.  Ok, maybe not very simple, but simple enough.

Re: Revert to 1.4

I'd continue playing as I don't play Vanilla in the first place.

A is very simple, you just install 2142, update to 1.4, copy the directory, update to 1.5, use the copied directory to play FS.  Ok, maybe not very simple, but simple enough.

So basically, you have two bf2142 folders in your /mods folder, and revert between them, the same way we testers have two FS folders (last public release and test version) that we keep changing between?

I think that, judging from the number of times us testers mess up the folders when copying and renaming and patching back and forth, that if we were to revert, it'd be nice if we had a simple launcher application that did the swapping for us. It'd be a very simple program that detected which folder was 1.5 and told you and gave you two options: Launch Vanilla and Launch First Strike. When you make either choice, the app determines which folder in the mods directory has the 1.5 patch and swaps folders accordingly, then launches either BF2142 or FS, depending on the player's choice.

Re: Revert to 1.4

Not the same as testing, no, you'd have to clone your entire Battlefield 2142 folder not just the mods folder.
