Battlefield 2142 North Strike

[Cougar125]

Problem: When trying to join North Strike games/maps I get all the way to the 'Join' button. I click the join button, then get sent back to the Server Listing. This is the message I get

This serer only allows players with unmodified content to join. Revert your version of Battlefield 2142 to the current official version to join.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled a couple of times, gone through all the updates and patches, and still get this message. Does anybody have an idea of what is causing this?

Umm, are you using a cracked version of it?

No. I got the game for XMas and I downloaded the Northern Strike patch directly from EA.

I got similar problem before but i fixed it by
1. patch to the most current update
2. make sure you have 4 gigs of hd space before applying the update

and there was other suggestions like checking for spywares, virus, allowing firewall access to bf2142 server and a few other i forgot you need to do to fix that modified files error. But check the link and read around see if it help =]

Did you follow the installing/patching order in the thread Condor linked to?
I had a similar problem when I installed 2142, NS and then patched to 1.4, but it went away when doing 2142, patch 1.4, NS, patch 1.4 again.

Wow, I didn't know you were still around, MrGaribaldi.

Also, mocking everyone else, make sure you did it in the right order. Many games have troubles if you install patches in the wrong order. Company of Heroes, ftw.
