Topic: CRASH - May 24th update

Hi guys - launched today and am now experiencing a crash to desktop on launch.   The Launcher downloaded/installed an update... now I can't play sad

Noticed that the "server" files for battle of yavin failed to install during the update.

I run Vista64 on a Dell 730x, 6GBram, Intel i7965XE, 2x GTX285SLI...

HELP! - I really wanted to play this weekend.... sad

Re: CRASH - May 24th update

Navigate to your BF2142 install folder. Delete the file called Fsbuild_1011.zip and fsbuild_1012.zip

Open your FS Launcher, go to File -> Prefences and set "Version" to either 1010 or 1000, hit apply, then update your game normally.  That should work.

Re: CRASH - May 24th update

Where do I find this install folder?  I'm on Vista 64 and I see all the folders up to 1010 under "Program Files(x86)/Electronic Arts/Battlefield 2142/mods/FirstStrike/(builds 1001 - 1010)

Other than that, that's it...

Hate to reinstall... help.

Re: CRASH - May 24th update

Thats your install folder.   Whats the version number in the launcher? File -> Preferences should tell you.  It is odd that the launcher isn't updating for you.


Run the launcher, File -> Check For Updates.  If it doesn't detect anything, check your firewall settings to make sure it isn't blocking the launcher, or you can reinstall the launcher seperately from here: Clicky!.

It is quite small and installs itself quick.

If updating from a reinstalled launcher doesn't work, I'm afraid the only thing left is really to reinstall FS.

Re: CRASH - May 24th update

CTD when?  Always on a certain map. Always when you first start?  Random times when Deploy appears?

If the latter, crashes will happen always, until someone fixes the launcher.

Re: CRASH - May 24th update

Only when I hit Deploy - doesn't matter the map.  Not random, but like clockwork... Deploy = CRASH.
