Yes donwload the full patch. Only use the incremental when downloading the next version, if your current version is up to date.

yeah i tried the demo first, but i erased every trase of it before installing the complete game, so what do i do ? uninstall the game and install it then install 1.25 ? nothing more ?

my loading stops (i think so) some where around 50 % ... then i hit crtl+alt+del and a small window opens saying " BF2142 Memory Error" the pointer instead of being a walker becomes a 'sand clock' w/e thats called lol

every time there is a new map loading .... its not the first time a join a server

TY FOR YOUR HELP :D

It always gets stuck at 50% and then picks up after a few mintues for the first time....unless you keep changing your graphic settings. Each time you change them the game has to 'recalibrate'.

Is it doing this for both single player and online?

BTW, don't Ctrl/Alt/Del out of the game when you first start playing it. Let it sit at 50% and go have a snack or something :)

Just don't touch your computer when it's at 50%. And if you want...go have a snack like Krall said.

u guys just keep missing the fact that it says memory error, thats not normal....are you guys really paying attentoin to what you read before you reply?

I'd say you uninstall your game, re-install, and patch it with 1.25, and you're more than likely good to go. If that doesn't work, make sue you actually have atleast a few gigs of free space on your main hardrive.. sometimes you might literally just run out of space for the game to use as it loads files. Give it atleast a gig of free space.

so it is normal for the game to stop at 50 % and then go on(after a few minutes)? i mean even the music stops ... and the 'loading walker' turns into the 'sand clock' ....the gamestops working anyway now and then ...during the game

all of this is on titan mode online ...when loading new maps, and sometimes it 'stops working' out of nowhere during play

im going toleave it loading at 50 % for a few minutes as some of you say ....but it still stops workingsometimes during play

TY ALL ...gonna try playing in afew minutes, my account name is CptDiaz add me if you want

the "hour glass" is what it is called. That should not be appearing, and the music should continue to play if things are going normally...the hour glass only appears if something in the background is trying to load...but it shouldn't be because you are running the game. It's just not normal for that to happen.

Your best bet isto uninstall, reinstall, and repatch correctly. Be sure that when you patch ur game, ur game is NOT running.

I googled your problem and found this, give it a shot since you have the 3GB+ RAM. Looks like it is a 3GB enabler for SC3 but has worked for other games.

http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=Vista&message.id=17356#M17356

Edit: What is the exact error message you're getting anyways? If you're getting an error message at all of course. Another potential fix...

Open the readme.txt is usually a good start.
