Just to clarify, are you trying to patch the real game, or the demo?

It's not a mod 2142 owns and the patch fixed minor issues at least ea is listening to us. By the way use spell check. and the crashing is because so many people are jaming the servers i think.

I tried that link as well & STILL CAN'T go on any servers. Tried numerous times to download & install the patch. It stats to install & thrn says it's installed. I go intio a server & am greeted with a message that a patch is available & repeat process. Why is this NOT working?

I am getting the samme issue.  I run the patch, it goes through the whole process, says "installation completed successfully".

I run BF2142 (retail) and it says I'm still not patched.  I browse for MP servers and only get one (the sole  remaining 1.00 server).

Any help on this will get a KArma from me, as this sucks .. This single server is ALWAYS full (apparently from the ppl that are stuck at v1.00, like me and Sgt Eraser).

HELP!

Okay guys and gals.. I found the fix!

If your patch does not work as intended, it most likely means you installed BF2142 onto a non C: partition (eg: D:,E:,F:, ...). <watches for heads to nod>

Copy your install over to your C: drive (same directory structure) and edit your registry to mirror the change by doing the following:

run regedit.exe
edit \\HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2142\InstallDir
change it to C:\whatever\the\dir\is (note the C
run the patch

you now have a choice:

keep your install on the C: drive, as future patch will be fux0red as well

or..

copy the new bf2142.exe file on your C: install over to your orig installation and change your registry entry back

Happy killing! .. I accept Karma

Hmmm

I installed on a non-C partition and had no problems with the patch.

I was loading multiplay with no servers after installing, but I just had to reboot my system to populate it.

I installed BF2142 on my C and same as the patch, as I have no other drives connected. No go.

Mine works now i found out the reason why. On a website ( it think ea.com) they had said that the patch wasnt going to work until the day it offically came out. i had it a couple of days before the actual release date. So it should work for all of you now. BTW BF2142 fucking owns, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am having this same issue. I bought the game from the EA downloader and I downloaded the patch. I tried to install it but it still says I am on version 1.0.

I just found the fix, I believe. Try rebooting. Worked like a charm for me and my friends.
