In the video you see two PAC transports landing in the EU titan hangar. Wonder if you can do that now, doubt it.

copy the folder C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142
it can take 5-10 mins to copy as its very large, name that copy 'Battlefield 2142 1.4'
then patch with the 1.5beta, that patch is applied to the original folder 'Battlefield 2142'
your desktop icon looks at the 'Battlefield 2142' folder and will run 1.5beta
when you want to switch between versions
- copy your desk top shortcut for 2142, right click properties, amend 'target' to say "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142 1.4\ etc
alternate method to switch between versions
- rename folder 'Battlefield 2142' to 'Battlefield 2142 1.5beta'
- rename folder 'Battlefield 2142 1.4' to 'Battlefield 2142'

Thanks a much Silver, I've always been hesitant to install the Betas, but this should help my anxiety. See you all upon the field of glory! BTW, I need to start adding some of you guys to my in game buddy list. Don't be surprised if you guys start getting invites from me.

Took the words right out of my mouth :P

Woohoo! 15 minutes left till I can start patching. It's about 8:10 EST atm, and I'll hopefully see some of you guys on tonight. I'm quite excited that this is finally out.

Yes thats right if you patch to 1.5 before you save your 2142 file to a new folder you will NOT be ableto play on the TG server till 1.5 is dont beta or you reinstall.

Follow the instructions by Exploding_Silver to make sure you can switch between both!

Posted because so many are asking the same thing.....

**xrisonfire08** · 05-07-2008, 10:04 PM

To add on to that...

If you make two separate folders of 2142 each containing a different patch and make shortcuts to them or if you try to use a shortcut to play from any other folder other than the original name (Battlefield 2142), you will encounter a few problems if you try to play 1.4. Two of them that I noticed are distorted and mixed graphics from 1.4 and 1.5 and VOIP does not work, incoming or outgoing.

These problems may have just been me, but its something to take into account. I strongly suggest using the alternate method.

**brain21** · 05-09-2008, 03:17 AM

Where can we report said bugs? I got a few.
