Re: First Strike Problem

Make sure FS is installing to the same directory and the shortcut matches. if no joy then I'd suggest moving BF2142 back to C drive then installing FS as I never get problems that way.

Re: First Strike Problem

Here is my specs:

Target: "F:\Progam Files\Electronic Arts\BF2142.exe" +modPath mods/FirstStrike +menu 1 +fullscreen 1

Start: "F:\Progam Files\Electronic Arts\Mods\FirstStrike"

Would this be why it isn't working? ^^

Quite possibly.

Try starting the mod by going to "Community" in the BFHQ, clicking "Custom Games", FirstStrike, and "Launch Mod"

Re: First Strike Problem

thats a weird install directory.
are you sure it shouldnt be
F:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\BF2142.exe

my shortcut is
target: "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\BF2142.exe" +modPath mods/FirstStrike +fullscreen 1 +menu 1

start: "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142"

Re: First Strike Problem

Alright, I'll try Silver's and see if it works.

If Silver's idea doesn't work, then would I have to reinstall it to the C drive?

***FS worked on my F drive until I reinstalled BF2142 again for the 1.25 patch and then for the 1.40 patch!***

Re: First Strike Problem

you should realy keep the install directory as it is, mayb change the drive sure, but if you leave out the Battlefield 2142 in \Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\ then the next EA game you install will mess up your files.
the drive  shouldnt mather much.
