Topic: modified content error in vanilla 2142

i have been playing FS now without many problems but today i tried to play vanilla 2142, but when i joined a server i got a modified content error.  I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or if the game just needs to be reinstalled.

Re: modified content error in vanilla 2142

Not neccessarily. If you navigate to where you installed Battlefield 2142 (usually \Program Files\Battlefield 2142\), and from there go to \mods\bf2142, in that folder look for two files called shaders_client.zip and shaders_client.zip.bak. Do you have them? If you do, rename shaders_client.zip to shaders_client.zip.old and then the shaders_client.zip.bak to just shaders_client.zip. Try running 2142 now.

Hm. If you did find the two files and renamed them accordingly, it should work..
Perhaps try clearing the bf2142 cache. Delete the cache folder in \My Documents\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\

I never had this problem before installing 1.4. There is something wrong with the launcher. It's a nice utility...but it's preventing me and lots of other people from playing. Hopefully the player population doesn't decrease too much because of this.

And yes I know that Imperial is in Germany. Deleting the cache doesn't help.

Re: modified content error in vanilla 2142

Hopefully the smart people here will save the day, the 1.4 update was alot of fun but I wasn't able to play vanilla with a couple friends til I did a fresh install, minus the FS mod - modified content blah blah booey kicked.  Also tried all the magic cures in various threads and nothing fixed it, except the new install.
