Hi all,
I've become pretty frustrated with this...it started after patching (the computer equivalent of "once upon a time," eh?) and running the game. I was IM'd, and BF2142 minimized and I was unable to alt-tab back to the game, so I killed the process (this has happened frequently before, with no ill effect, other than losing my connection).

When I restarted the game, however, the map loaded to about 45%, stopped briefly, then jumped to around 65% and stayed there for about 5 mins before I started trying to Alt-Tab, Alt-F4, Alt-Enter, Ctrl-Alt-Del out of it, none of which worked. So I rebooted, and tried running the game again, still no dice. Reboot again, turn off ATI Graphics Card Tools, same exact thing with the map loading to 45%, then jumping to 65% and freezing.

Since then, I've been trying frequently to load the game, with no luck on any server, same issue with the map loading on every server and multiple maps. There was one time when the game did load, however about 5 minutes into playing my ex-room mate who is lame IM'd me, because I still had forgotten to put up an away message. If he wasn't such a jerk, I'd blame myself.

I'm running a pretty sweet rig, doesn't normally have problems of this kind:
WinXP
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200
Radeon X1900
Realtek HD Sound
3.25GB of RAM that XP can handle, more if I liked Vista enough to run it

I don't think I should be having issues of this kind...any help at all would be really appreciated as it is incredibly frustrating having to reboot every time whatever I changed doesn't work (I'm a first year medical student, so I'm trying to be scientific about it, but really it's just making it take forever). I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling the game now. Maybe I'll monitor the thread from my iPhone

Wish me luck!

Bah, I thought that the installer file wouldn't get deleted with the uninstall...

I wish I had read the post below this one about the exact same thing before uninstalling

I'm afraid that this is a different problem, I am having the same issue, I'll elaborate a bit more

1.4 roles out works well for a few days try to load in one night and the progress bar gets stuck ~65% (above 50%, I've had that bug as well) and the game is now frozen, Crt+Alt+Del to task manager and end bf2142.exe process. so I figure I'll just do a simple reinstall since I haven't done one in a while. repatch and still have the same problem. at this point I try to do the radial file but even with the folder options on the correct settings I cannot find the file, I search my computer and still no file present. so I uninstall again and repatch just to double check, still no good.

the next thing I am going to try is deleting BF2142 out of the registry and try again, I'll keep this updated.

I uninstalled and reinstalled, and it works fine now, except for VoIP, but I think that is a separate issue as not even the sound recorder is working...

Can;t this be resolved by simply deleting the radial.cdb file?

Reaper said he was having more difficulty than just the radial file, he tried deleting but it didn't work.

I was surprised that the radial file never showed but I can kill again so woot!

Hey I understand. It was about a month ago where my buds comp had the same problem...it usually comes down to that radial file and the optimizing shaders. Anyways, I ended up writing a script that laucnhed the game and fixed the whole freezing issue. If you still needed help tell me and I'll write it up for ya...no garuntees tho cause I only used it on my buddies compy.
