## Launching the mod with Remaster Launcher

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure you’ve installed [OpenSpy patches](/getting-started/apply-openspy-patches.md) via BF2142 Hub.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Double-click the <mark style="color:blue;">Remaster Launcher</mark> shortcut to start the launcher.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If <mark style="color:blue;">Windows Defender SmartScreen</mark> shows <mark style="color:blue;">Windows Protected Your PC</mark>, click <mark style="color:blue;">More Info</mark> and then <mark style="color:blue;">Run Anyway</mark>.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
When prompted by <mark style="color:blue;">User Account Control</mark>, click <mark style="color:blue;">Yes</mark> to allow the app to make changes on your device.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the <mark style="color:blue;">Play</mark> tab, under <mark style="color:blue;">Launch-Settings</mark>, disable the [<mark style="color:blue;">4GB Ram Patch</mark>](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] option. **\[**[**?**](#user-content-fn-2)[^2]**]**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Navigate to the <mark style="color:blue;">Settings</mark> page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the <mark style="color:blue;">Settings</mark> tab, under <mark style="color:blue;">General</mark>, enable <mark style="color:blue;">Unlock FPS (120HZ)</mark>, <mark style="color:blue;">Widescreen Fix</mark>, [HUD-Fix](/advanced/addons-tweaks/hudfix.md), <mark style="color:blue;">Blood Patch</mark> and [ReShade](/advanced/addons-tweaks/reshade.md).

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Launching the mod with BF2142 Hub

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend using the Launcher whenever you want to toggle addons or tweak bot count.  Some troubleshooting tools exist only in the Hub, and others only in the Launcher — so it’s best to use both and get the best of both worlds.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Launch BF2142 Hub.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the <mark style="color:blue;">Home</mark> Tab, under <mark style="color:blue;">Game Settings</mark>, select the mod from the <mark style="color:blue;">GAME MOD</mark> dropdown menu.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the <mark style="color:blue;">Let's Play!!</mark> button to run the game.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Follow-ups

If you hit crashes, startup issues, or graphics glitches, use the troubleshooting and diagnosis tools in the launcher or the Hub. The offline manual in the launcher also has helpful fixes.

New to the mod or modding? We’ve got some manuals packed with helpful info, so it’s definitely worth setting aside a little time to check them out!

Also, take a look at the addons and tweaks section in the sidebar navigation — you might find something that interests you!

[^1]: Battlefield 2142 is a 32-bit game and can only use up to 4GB of RAM. The 4GB RAM Patch helps prevent memory overflow crashes and improves stability.

[^2]: We need to disable this option because the OpenSpy patches from BF2142 Hub already include this fix by default.
