You don't need to copy .nfo file.

I de- and reinstalled 2142.

2142 -> 1.25 -> NS -> 1.40 -> Crack -> "please insert 2142 dvd[...]"

My clanmate only copied the files in his directory and it works fine

I am and it still doesn't work.

I tried out the 1.25 crack and (to my amazement) that worked fine and started the game up without the DVD in the drive. It even started up the 1.40 version of the game, but when I join a server it says I have modified content and kicks me.

I even uninstalled the game and rebooted and reinstalled, and did the 1.40 FP, then the crack - and that's where I am now, still doesn't start (I get the "please insert CD message"). I hope that you guys can use your mad hacking skills and put up a better/more complete hack that works for everybody - *keeping fingers crossed*.

I will be happy not just because bf 2142 is my favorite game in this whole world, but b/c you will be sticking it to the man (evil EA corporate America) who sells games that do not work (which in my opinion constitutes fraud, and is a more heinous fraud b/c it is committed against a protected group, minors, the main audience for their games).
Every day that goes by I am becoming more and more of an advocate for hacking, cracking, file sharing, etc. and the more evil and devious the practices of these giant corporations and the more and more lavish the salaries of the members of Congress and CEOs pay themselves while others starve and are out in the cold, the more I want to hack the crap out of everything...Grrrr...stick it to the man hackers!!!

2142player did you copy all the files with the .TMP files into the folder and did you overwrite all existing files?

Hi, yes I did.

The only file that had to be overwritten was the BF2142.exe file, but I made sure to put the other 3 files in there.

But now when I click on my startup icon it Tells me to "Please insert 2142 CD and click OK to retry."

And, no, I did a clean install without extracting the 1.25 crack into the folder at all.

And I could get my game to work fine (startup OK) with the 1.25 crack, but when I join a server that way it tells me I have "modified content."

Know any other tricks I can try to get it to work???

Battlefield 2142 1.40 no-cd Patch not working

hi,

I posted in the other thread, and followed all the suggestions there, but the 2142 1.40 crack/patch no -cd does not work for me.

My game still will not start up. (Yes, I have overwritten the BF2142.exe file and placed the 2 tmp files in the proper directory, but my game still will not start up).

Someone else in the other thread said he had a Spanish version of the game and he said it would also not work for him.

I just want to make it known that the crack for 2142 1.40 does NOT work for everyone.

I even did a clean install a couple of times, and did the Full Patch, then extracted the crack to my 2142 folder, but no go.

Everytime I click on the 2142 icon, it tells me to "please insert CD." ( I have my DVD, but using it also does not allow me to play the game - I have been going back and forth with EA tech support for LITERALLY MONTHS and all the suggestions they give me do not work).

the only success I have had in getting my game to start up has been the 1.25 crack on this website, but as you all know you can't play online using that crack b/c of the new 1.40 update.

PLEASE HELP. Anyone know of any better, more complete/more sophisticated cracks out there???

I was having the same problem and found a solution. You need to run the executable with administrator privileges. It's easy in Vista, just right click the file and select "Run as administrator".

Unfortunately this doesn't work from the Games folder because the context menu is different. You will have to manually make a shortcut to the game if you want to use one.

I know this is a little late but hopefully it helps.

Ok, it means I could play online with this 1.40 crack???
If not, the ea downloader exe will be needed, I guess.

Also cant run get it working, have unistalled, reinstalled, used the 1.25 swiffplayer dll, tried different orders of doing patches etc, disabled physical drives, updated my version of daemontools, nada.. Game runs fine with 1.25 crack, with the 1.4 crack from tft I also get the please insert CD message no matter what.

I encounter pretty the same problem as 2142player: after having bought the original package of Battlefield2142, I got "please insert CD" when launching the game (although the media was in the drive). I also was in discussion for months with people from EA-games, without any result. So I finally decided to use the no cd/dvd crack (version 1.25) which worked fine for me. Unfortunately after having applied the 1.4 update from EA, the 1.4 patch does not work at all. It keeps on asking for the correct disk in the drive. And yes, I did try a new install with cleanup of the registry and all files. Nothing gets me any further. Any idea?

Hey bro,

we are in the same boat! I have been going back and forth with EA tech support and none of their suggestions work. I have tried everything.

The only thing that gets my game to start up is the 1.25 no cd crack here on this website; the new 1.40 crack by tft does not work for me (it keeps telling me to insert the CD, although with a different sound than before (when my 2142 DVD was in the drive without any cracks installed).

I believe we just have to wait for better and/or more sophisticated cracks to come along.
I hope the crackers haven't stopped working on them b/c the current crack seems to be hit or miss for most folks...

Hopefully also, the 1.40 patch for 2142 will be the final patch EA makes for the game so once we get a crack that works we won't have to worry anymore!!!
