Right, right click on the BF2142 shortcut on your desktop, at the end of your target line add a space then add the following i.e (add your name instead of mine) "+eaAccountName ATINOFJAR +eaAccountPassword (your password) +soldierName A_TIN_OF_JAR" this will auto log you in so you dont have to mess about with the login process everytime!

Another thing go to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Movies

All the files that are named .bik are movie files, edit the .bik files so that there called .bak ... this will cut the movies out! you can always change it back later, doing both of the above gets you in the game 10x quicker....

Just click the shortcut and your straight in looking for the server!... no movies, no login.... sweet!

Hi Guys,

There was a period when I first got the game and it crashed constantly. So I found myself uninstalling and reinstalling about twice per day.

I got tired of manually renaming the .bik files, so I just made a batch file to do it for me.


@ECHO OFF
CD "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Movies"
FOR %%F IN (*.*) DO (
REN %%F %%~nF.old
ECHO.>%%F
)

DIR

PAUSE

Yeah you can remove them, it just means you will have to re install the game if you want them back!

As said above you could always just re-name the folder named "movies"
