I´ve tried it several times and it didn´t work with any IC2 version, however the newest, yesterday released build 59.0.1 should work with the newest experimental builds. At least for me it works (I´m using IC2 build 556 because of GregTech, but it should work just fine with the newest releases)
Oooh, yes, indeed! Brilliant - it's good to finally have a forcefield mod on 1.7.10!
