Who else thinks the movie is overly badass? Heh, I loved it!

Now, if I could get my game working, that would be badass!

Re: It's Here At Last!!! 1.5 Beta Is Public!

You'll need to make a backup of your 1.4 installation BEFORE applying the patch. Check out Silver's post for instructions.

OK. So the patch is not backwards compatible. Thanks

Re: It's Here At Last!!! 1.5 Beta Is Public!

Is there any kind of NDA here for the public beta?

Re: It's Here At Last!!! 1.5 Beta Is Public!

I would think that it being "public" would render any NDA non-binding, if one existed.

Re: It's Here At Last!!! 1.5 Beta Is Public!

So, I downloaded the patch before copying the directory, any way to undo it without completely reinstalling bf2142?

You must spread rep around...

Thank you thank you. This is a KEY post.

Re: It's Here At Last!!! 1.5 Beta Is Public!

If you already applied the patch, I don't think you can undo it. You probably could rename the current (1.5 patched one) to bf2142 1.5 and then install and patch a new copy.
