Northern Strike issue fix... for those who install it and still NS doesn't work...

Cujucuyo · 01-22-2008, 04:29 AM

I was having a very frustrating issue with NS, I downloaded the installer [I paid of course] and decided to run the game to see if it worked, and it didn't... it told me to BUY NS... wtf I said... well I tried installing again and it said "UPDATE AVAILABLE'' right at the end of the installation and again ti didn't work... well I did this -Install BF2142>Patch 1.4>Install NS.Patch 1.4 ---- still it didn't run NS... I finally found out what was wrong, APPARENTLY I have to log-in into my EA account on their website, and add my user name [NOT MY SOLDIERS NAME] into "My Persona" on my EA account as my main persona, I had to create it , well link it actually since I had already created it... So here's how to do it, if it still doesn't work then contact EA and ask them to send you a CD of NS...

Get your Key for Northern Strike ready...

Go to EA.com and log-in to your account, next, go to create a 'persona' and create one with the name you LOG-IN on BF2142 NOT your soldiers name! If it tells you the name is already taken then choose 'link a persona..." or something like that and THEN enter the name of your account, when it says something like "success, you've successfully linked -your Persona- to your account-", go to your accounts home page and SELECT the Persona you just made/linked [there should be a select button next to each ''persona''] after doing that go to the Home Page of EA and on the collapsible menu on the upper left hand side of the screen [under QUICK NAVIGATION] select "EA Link" -- When you get to the EA Link page look at the lower right hand side corner where it says "To redeem an EA Link code, enter it here:" put in your KEY for Northern Strike WITH THE DASHES... it might ask you to log-in with your EA Account and enter it again, once you do it SUCCESS! Go and open BF2142 and log-in and enter and play one of the Northern Strike maps!

Hope this works for everyone having the frustrating issue of the game telling you to buy NS when you try and enter a NS game...

**PERSONA NAME SHOULD BE EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE YOU LOG-IN TO YOUR BF2142 ACCOUNT, REMEMBER, IT'S NOT YOUR SOLDIERS NAME/NICKNAME!
