Why is this patch needed?

• is officially removed — you no longer need the game disc to launch the game. For more info, see the No-CD Patch section in Tweak Guide.

• Enjoy a more immersive field of view and easier multitasking with widescreen support

• Northern Strike expansion is now included for free. This marks a final farewell to the game, as DICE has moved on to Battlefield 3 and beyond.

• This patch unlocks the game’s final features, bug fixes, and extra content.

• Most current master servers (like OpenSpy), game servers (such as Reclamation), and popular mods (like Project Remaster) require v1.51.

How do I check the game 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 this patch?

You can skip this if your game is already updated to version 1.51. But, if it's not and you skip this, you won't be able to play because the game will still need the disc to start. That’s why we always stress how important this step is!
