I had the same exact problem, game would load then kick me out
all i did was put 2142 in compatibility mode for winxp and it all worked flawlessly
i dont have any issues with it anymore.

Also make sure you have the box checked that allows the game to run it administrator mode.

I re bought BF2142 through the EA download manager thingy a while ago thinking that this would solve the admin issues only to find that it was incompatible with Win 7 64 bit. Fortunately about a week ago I found two updates for the download manager and guess what, works like a dream. Unlike my disc install I can play Northern Strike too!!
An expensive solution to be sure but it does seem to work without any work arounds being involved.

I installed my copy last night for shits and giggles and I can join servers and whatnot but my textures are screwed up.
It looks like I am standing in the middle of the ocean and I see silhouettes of mechs and explosions in the sky.
Did the Disc install, Patched to 1.5, installed Northern Strike, then re-patched 1.5.
I tried Disc, NS, 1.5 but NS requires 1.2 before installing and I didn't have any other patches on my machine.
