Whenever I try to play this online (an exercise in frustration with iBurst latency, I know), the game hangs solid within the first 20 seconds, often even before I'm able to select a spawn point. I'm then unable to Alt-Tab out, the mouse does not respond, etc - a total hang.

This does not happen if I play single player, so I was curious to see if anyone else using iBurst experienced a similar problem.

I'm running the v1.01 patch.
 
Your whole PC hangs from trying to play the game online.... that doesnt really sound like an internet problem, but it couldnt be much else.

I dont have BF2142 yet, but ill try playing online when I get it. But I know that BF2 plays fine with iBurst, well not fine but it doesnt crash your PC.

Is this on the SA servers btw? I know international servers should kick you before you hang much because of high latency.
 
EHV is right. If this was an internet related problem, your entire PC wouldn't simply crash. Maybe it's a memory related problem?
 
I do realize that simply having a game running online is almost never a cause for a crash, but I reckon that there is something different about online play causing the hang - something like VOIP for example, but I don't even have it enabled... I'll keep scratching around. Thanks guys, I was curious.
 
Contact AGASA

The Amateur Gaming Association of South Africa (AGASA) is running a online BF 2142 competition which launched on Monday. If anyone could help you with playing BF 2142 online, they can.

Check out www.agasa.co.za.

I know the guys at Agasa say that wireless is still not really worthwhile for gaming online. The packet loss is too great.
 
Well wireless isnt too great for FPS gaming for sure, even though Quake 3 can work well apparently.

But MMORPG's, or just normal Warcraft etc can work fine.

I beg to differ. It all depends on your latency. Like on mine I can't play CoH.
 
Hi, Related to battlefield 2142. I'm trying to join the SAIX servers with the demo i downloaded, but it claims that my version is not up to date enough to play and i need v1.01. Can one download a patch for the demo? I can only see that you can download a patch for the retail version.
Therefore I can't play online and can't decide if it's worth my cash.
 
SGS no longer has a demo server, sorry.
And ja the servers are patched 1.01 for when you buy it.
