Frostbite Chat

A lot of Battlefield fans love the BF3/BF4-style chat — it really adds a modern feel to the game and makes chatting more enjoyable. Now, we’re bringing that same great chat experience to BF2142, so everyone can enjoy the sleek, updated chat right here in 2142!

Preparations

• Do you know where your game directory is? It’s the folder with BF2142.exe and your mods — by default, usually at C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142.

• If you want the changes for vanilla BF2142, edit the file in \mods\bf2142. For a specific mod, edit the file in that mod’s folder instead.

• Before installing this addon, make sure you’ve already installed the Widescreen Hudfix for your chosen mod. If you’re using the Remaster mod, enable the HUD-fix option in the Remaster Launcher before adding this addon.

Procedures
