Hi All
Just finally installed BF2142 (UK DVD version from PCworld) on a sempron
3300 with 7600GT graphics card, initially the game would not even register
because it said invalid CD key, it was the right one and after some
hunting around I discovered the fix for that to add an extra code to the
beginning with regedit. So after a waste of about 5 hours I got it
registered, but then the thing just kept crashing on me and bombing back
to XP desktop, so after even more wasted hours (latest drivers etc,
removing second sound card from PC, disabling VOIP, etc) I got it to run
in single player mode and well its great but...
I applied the 1.10 patch and then tried to log on to a server to play, but
it just refuses to log in saying I need the official version, something
about only allows unmodified clients to connect (well I have not done
anything except the CD key fix and applied the patch, wish they would post
MD5 or SHA512 checksums for the patch downloads so you could be sure it
was downloaded correctly)
I connect through a nat router and have not set up ports specified in the
manual yet for port forwarding (or DMZ) is that what my problem is?
Its a pain because the number of ports that need forwarding exceeds the
space allowed in the router config for forwarding... (bugger)
So are all the ports required for unsolicited requests because I had no
problem running BF1942 of BFV through this router in the past?
Wha'appen
