Block BF2142 Ads

http://www.totalbf2142.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5342

From forum:
Moderators this is not speculation! This is for real!

If you run bf2142 along side software like TDImon free TCP/UDP monitor, http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TdiMon.html, you will find that one of the remote connections that BF2142.exe uses is to 72.3.184.153:17475

If you go to NetworkSolutions and WHOIS the IP Address you will get:

WHOIS Record For
72.3.184.153

Record Type: IP Address

IGA Technologies, LLC RSPC-68993-1122139655 (NET-72-3-184-144-1)
72.3.184.144 - 72.3.184.159

IGA is IGA Worldwide and they handle the ads.

!!!Gotcha!!!

Possible solutions is to block port 17475 or better yet block ip address range 72.3.184.144 - 72.3.184.159.

I did and the game ran find. Please note that they maybe using other ports and ip addresses so in the upcoming days I'll do more testing.
 
Well if they had more money, they could patch the games. :rolleyes:

Maybe they'll fix BF in the next expansion pack.

Hope your being sarcastic :D Its true though - you have to be pretty gullible to buy a EA game based on their past record. Buggy as hell on release and then they concentrate on the next Expansion pack instead of fixing the original game first.

They need funds for patches....

Maybe...

But whenever they take out a patch... they put out a booster pack... aka skin weapons, change little codes... and make the patch possible for booster pack players to use their toys on the little amount of available maps of bf2...

EA is just retarded in multiple levels...
And I am sure they make a lot of money with their consol games, specially their yearly effortless skinned and minor tweak sports games....

Fifthsies!
