I just installed BF 2142, and (this is probably a dumb question) isn't there any way to play on an offline pc?

 

[born2killU]

yeah but only with bots

there arent any missions or anything

 

[DuckieHo]

Yeah... play single player mode. You can create up to 16 bots. However, you must be connected to the Internet to have access to any unlocks.

 

[Gandalf]

That's what I thought....but I can't seem to get it to load the game - it keeps trying to get me to set up an online account. (btw, I went ahead and installed a fixed exe, as usual...should I try it w/out the fixed exe?)

You can create an offline account. That is what you need to do.

From what I've read, BF2142 profile creation is online based. And talking about nocds, fixed exes, etc. isn't allowed.

 

[Gandalf]

OK, sorry. I always install one a soon as I get a new game, ever since I scrached Rise of Nations (back in the day when it had "great graphics"

).

OK, I'm probably being a noob, but how do I create an offline account? It's easy if BF2, but I can't figure out how to do it with BF 2142.

 

[CWell1337]

Well you need to have an internet connection to even be able to play offline versus bots. You need to create an account online with EA. They do it this way so even people that try to pirate it to play offline have trouble doing so.

I posted it earlier.

Profile creation is online based.

Try this link out: http://battlefieldsingleplayer.plane...py.com/forums/

They are working on a single player Titan mode I hear!

 

[Gandalf]

But what about honest people who just want to play it on an off-line pc? (

I get online with my dad's pc, and play games and watch dvds on my pc. (And I'd hate to try to play BF 2142 on my dad's pc, as it has 512Mb RAM, and a *gag* 1.8Ghz Celeron.)

 

[thenut]

I believe the latest patch may let you create a profile offline.

 

[Gandalf]

The lastest patch is 1.1, right?

 

[thenut]

I don't have BF2142 but I was just searching and I see that 1.1 is still beta so the latest patch is 1.06 - ftp://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/patc...Patch_1.06.exe. You could try creating a profile on the online pc then copying it to the offline pc.

 

[Gandalf]

hmmm...
A.) is that possible, do you think?
and
B.) is that legal? (I would expect it to be legal, since I'm not actually playing it on the other pc...)

I really apprecite the help, btw (although you probably think I'm an idiot by now...

)

I don't think you're an idiot. I don't even have the game.

1. It may or not be possible, I can't try it to find out.
2. You're only copying the profile from one pc to another. There's nothing illegal about that. Of course, you would have to install the game on two computers to try this method out but just uninstall it from the online pc once it's working.

 

[Gandalf]

OK, I'll try that..I'll post back to let you know if it worked.

 

[accskyman]

Yea I don't believe you can create an account off-line (without a patch atleast). My friend has dialup so I just copied my account folder and put it on his computer when he wanted to try the game out~ didn't have to connect the computer to the internet since it thought there was already an account. Bot's obviously aren't all that smart but its still pretty fun to play.

 

[Gandalf]

My dad's (pathetic) pc isn't even capable of installing the game, so I can't register it that way.

 

[Gandalf]

Is there anyone who installed either the full game or the demo who would be able and willing to create an account, and then e-mail me the profile data?

If this is against the TOS, let me know...
