Patching
Hi, recently reinstalled 2142 off EA downloader, got the 1.5 patch but when installing it, the patch process just keeps looping over and over. It will install and the progress bar slowly goes to 100% but instead of saying something like "patch complete" it just starts it all over again, I'm now in my 12th loop.

Re: Patching
If you are really on the 12th loop then there may indeed be something wrong. If you are exaggerating a bit though then let it keep going. I recently reinstalled with the full 1.5 patch and it appears it carries out each individual patch as they were released one after the other. It felt like 6-7 cycles and near the end I was about to give up as well thinking it was in a loop. Takes quite a while.

Re: Patching
That patcher is one of the slowest I've ever experienced. Try running it before you go to do some chores and come back in a half hour to an hour and see what happens. If it doesn't work, uninstall BF2142, delete your patch file and redo everything.
Also, take note that if you want to install Northern Strike, you most likely will have to start from a fresh install of BF2142, patch to v1.4, install Northern Strike, patch v1.4 again and then patch v1.5, in that order.Bucklin out.

Re: Patching
I gave up on it, an hour after and it was still doing it.
But after seeing these replies I reinstalled it this afternoon and then rebooted before patching, it looped 7-8 times then came up with a completion message.

Re: Patching
Without applying the 1.4 patch first, you will most likely experience problems getting on the server. If you think 1.5 is slow, wait until you try 1.4.
I would suggest letting it run for a while before killing it manually.
