Troubleshoots
Why is BF2142 Unlocker not working properly ?
At the moment, it’s not possible to play the game using BF2142Unlocker.
A recent Windows update has broken the Unlocker, and there’s currently no known fix. While it may still work for a few people, most users — especially those on Windows 10 or 11 — will find that it doesn’t work anymore.
My game keeps crashing to Desktop. It doesn't even load to menu. How to fix this ?
First, try deleting the Battlefield 2142 folder in your My Documents. This will clean up your profiles — including any faulty video or audio settings — and clear your shader cache.
You can also use the Clear Cache and Delete Profile function in BF2142 Hub or Remaster Launcher, which has a similar effect.
Next, try launching the game in windowed mode, and be sure to use a resolution and refresh rate that your monitor supports. For example, if your monitor doesn’t support 120Hz and you select it, the game may crash. You can easily adjust these settings using BF2142 Hub or Remaster Launcher.
If you’re launching the game with the vanilla BF2142 shortcut, check the Tweak Guide for instructions on setting launch parameters for windowed mode and a fixed resolution.

These steps often resolve crash issues, as many problems are related to video settings.
I keep getting kicks when playing on Reclamation servers. How to fix this ?
First, make sure you’re joining the server with a vanilla 2142 installation and there aren’t any major modifications in your mods\bf2142 folder.
If you’re still having issues, try using the CD Key fix function in BF2142 Hub or Remaster Launcher, as CD key problems can sometimes cause connection issues.
You can also join the Reclamation's Discord server to get help and support directly from their community.
Addons / Tweaks
How to change Field of View (FOV) in-game ?
You can’t change the FOV (field of view) in-game, since BF2142 is an older title and doesn’t offer as many video settings as modern games.
However, you can still achieve this by editing the game files. For step-by-step instructions, check out our Field of View (FOV) guide.
