How to check my game's version ?

If you’re ever unsure about your game’s version, just check the version string in this file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Mod.desc

If you still need the disc to launch the game, that means you haven’t updated to v1.51 yet.

Can I skip installing this patch ?

Yes, you can skip this tutorial if your game is already patched to v1.51. However, if you skip it when your game isn’t patched to v1.51, you won’t be able to play — the game will still require the disc to launch. That’s why we always emphasize how important this step is!
