So a few weeks ago I purchased Battlefield 2142 From the EA Link Download Service. I had Heard Bad Things about this but I gave them the benefit of the doubt, and went ahead with the download.
For about 4 weeks it’s been great, it download in just under an hour and the game has been working fine. However I go to play the game about two days ago and it won’t launch, I click play and nothing happens? So I try the start menu short cuts and again nothing happened. So I went into the program files and tried the shortcuts in there and still nothing happens? So I spent the next hour or so trying to figure out what on earth is going on, but to no avail. So I deiced ok I will re-Install the game, so I did that and still nothing.
After about 2 hours I conclude that it must be the EA Download Manager because I can find no reason why the game shouldn’t be working having checked internet security and all. So Today I tried Plan B, Re-Download and then Re-install the game, Makes sense I guess. So I did that and still nothing happens? Plan C it is then. About 30 Mins Ago a figured out how to fix it and got the game running again (about Bloody Time).
I won’t go into the details here because this has become somewhat of an essay. But EA Download Manager Still Sucks and is being screwy. Just my luck that I have the week off and my 2142 doesn’t work but oh well I fixed it.
So to Summarize, Thanks EA for a Pain in the Ass Download Manager
