    Installation Order to get to 1.4 with Northern Strike expansion

    Hi, I was not having issues with 2142 since I first owned it with all the patches. I've had it since release date. I was running 1.25 fine and then it prompted me to update so I went and downloaded the 1.4 patch 376MB file. I attempted to apply it and at 98% or so it said Patch Failed. Then I tried to play with 1.25 and it said I had modified files and would not let me join servers.

    So, I un-installed the whole game and registry files etc. I loaded fresh from the disk and attempted to do what someone else with the Northern Strike expansion said to get to 1.4. They said to load
    1) the game
    2) Northern Strike
    3) 1.4


    They said that worked. Well this failed on my system. Because northern strike said I needed at least patch 1.2 to install it. So, I unloaded game again and tried to load directly to the 1.25 patch. The 1.25 patch would keep re-installing over and over so I had to kill the process.

    Do I need to load every sequential patch from the beginning again? These are all the patches I've found.

    2142 patches

    1.01
    1.06
    1.1
    1.2
    1.25
    1.4

    Is that the order I need to install? This is very frustrating!

        Well, I did EXACTLY EVERYTHING this post suggest. I made sure everything was exactly correct. I had 3+ gigs free on both my C: drive and the G: drive where the game was installed. The patch just continuously goes in a loop! I even tried a the patch direct from EA's servers. It will not install. So, I guess I'll never be playing this game again and will never buy another battlefield game again. Kinda sucks since it was one of my favorites.

            Oh Wow Natt!! I never even thought of what that thread says!! I'm going to give it a try again. THANKS!!!

            EDIT: Sure enough that was the issue! I just needed to let it keep going multiple times for all the patches!! Thanks again Natt!
