Procedures
Whenever a Windows Firewall prompt appears, allow the game through both private and public networks to avoid connection issues.
Launch the game through BF2142 Hub.
Before hitting Play, you might want to adjust the video and game settings to your liking.
The game may take a few seconds to start, so expect a brief black screen before the intro appears. []
At the login screen, click CREATE NEW ACCOUNT. It might take a moment for the next screen to appear. []
Click ACCEPT TERMS. []
Fill out the registration form [] — but make sure to remember your EMAIL ADDRESS, ACCOUNT NAME and PASSWORD. If you forgot your password []
Click CREATE. If you received an error, then []
Click CREATE NEW SOLDIER.
Enter the SOLDIER NAME you want to use in-game and click CREATE NEW SOLDER.
You may notice the game resolution has changed. []
To fix this, go to OPTIONS → VIDEO and adjust the resolution first. Only choose the resolution and refresh rate your monitor supports. []
Check out the Tweak Guide for tips on optimizing your video settings. I’d recommend setting everything to max, except for ANTI-ALIASING, which should stay . []
Don’t forget to adjust your AUDIO settings too — the Tweak Guide has great advice for getting the best sound experience.
Congratulations! You have completed all the steps to get Battlefield 2142 up and running! See you on the battlefield!
