1.4 Backup

[Ghiblian]

I recently installed the 1.4 beta, of course remembering to backup my 1.25 folder. I can play 1.4 fine, but if I switch back to 1.25, the game won't connect. When I press login, it just holds me at the please wait screen. Anyone have any ideas?

Btw, I've tried deleting the Documents folder.

Just to be certain, you took a copy of 1.25 and then patched it, right?
Because that has worked perfectly for me.

I suggest you just reinstall and patch to 1.25, that will probably be the quickest way to be up and running again.
Keep your Beta copy, it should still work after reinstalling 1.25

Bah. I reinstalled, but I forgot to keep my beta copy. Stupid me. =[ Thinking I should try one last time. I need to finish scouting out Tampa for its release.

But yah, I patched my working 1.25 copy.

when you get 1.40 it modifies your exe and you cant go back unless your reinstall


or have someone send you their 1.25 exe

I backed up my entire Battlefield 2142 folder so that shouldn't be a problem, right? These backups worked before like during the NS beta and stuff.

Anyways, thanks to Vreki, I have a backup of my 1.4 folder and reinstalled 1.25. Now everything works like a charm. Thanks. =] Just sucks that... the US servers seem to be always empty and crashes like every other round.

I doubt that will be enough, windiff finds 142 differences between 1.25 and 1.40 beta.
At least 10 of those are DLL´s

No, once you overcome the mental block against reinstalling, it will often be the fastest solution.

Yes... I know... o.O I backed up my Battlefield 2142 folder in the Program Files folder. Not my profiles folder (well, I backed up my profiles folder as well). =P Silly Sys. Op, I know a little better than that.
