Tips
If you quit the game without disconnecting you will be unable to join shortly after, get a random CD key and use this to get around it (run as administrator or it won't work):
majorgeeks.com/files/details/battlefield_1942_cd_key_changer.html

If you have a bad connection try lowering the connection speed on the right on the server browser, or else the game might disconnect.

FAQ: realtimerendering.com/erich/bf1942/faq.html

Sometimes the game crashes because of a bad map, ask here for a switch if you crash multiple times.

bump. Downloading now

server is up at the moment and will be up for several hours
i'll also host tomorrow again
set sail for autism

Fucking sweet, I was hoping to play something other than New Vegas or TF2 tonight.


I thought everyone was using v1.612, not 1.61?

yeah i'd not remove FH just yet because i might host it someday later
to be honest both mods are fucking dead and the server is always dead so there's no difference but in size of the files you download and the mod quality
you don't need to re-download the game, this shit can support plenty of mods installed at the same time
and i don't remember which version we used

The 256 bot patch used 1.61 so the link was replaced for consistency. The server accepts both versions anyway.

Okay, good. That means I just need to download the DCF expansion.

250kb/s DL rate is suffering. I'll be on before the night is over.

Played it for jokes the other day with some friends, it's fucking awful lel.

but it is awful tho.
if i had to choose we'd be playing Joint Ops right now.

Server isnt coming up for me, wat do?
