Topic: Problems getting FS to work.

I just downloaded and installed FS 1.4. I already had BF2142 and NS installed and patched to version 1.5.  After installing FS I attempted to run the mod by opening the FS Launcher. When I did this a dialog box popped up  saying, "In order to play First Strike, you must have Battlefield 2142 installed."

I installed First strike  to my BF2142 folder, and was able to locate the first strike folders in the mods folder and also in my ProgramFilesx86 directory.

Suggestions?


Edit: I was able to start the mod from the custom games section, but cannot play on any servers.

Re: Problems getting FS to work.

What version of Battlefield 2142 do you have? Is it the normal, deluxe or digital distribution?

Re: Problems getting FS to work.

I have Deluxe edition fully updated
I just got the 1.4 last night first time playing, after 2-3 hours of troubleshooting and following directions I finally got into a server but today its different everything is updated as far as I know but before i even get to the customization\spawn map, the game crashes

I even did the properties shortcut target thing to set it to my resolution for yavin fix it worked a bit for LAN Mode got me farther into loading process to where i can see the spawn map but it crashes me

EDIT
I also did the arguments Widescreen 1 version is also at 1005

Now like others cant seem to play 2142 tried following instructions for renaming, and running\exiting FS Didn't work at all

Re: Problems getting FS to work.

I completly uninstalled bf2142, and uninstalled FSmod. I reinstalled BF2142 in a new direcotry, installed patch 1.5, installed first strike, then tried to run the launcher, and it says I have to have bf2142 installed first. So I installed northernstrike, then patched 1.5 again. Still says the same thing.

When I try to run the game from bf2142 custom games, it showed one serverr and when I tried to join the game, it kicked me for custom content.

Btw, my BF2142 version is the normal dvd I've had since it came out. Northernstrike is a digital download.
