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?

do you see other servers on the list? maybe you forgot the server patch
it's online, if updating the list doesn't help use the add server thing to connect directly 176.212.159.85

I added it,ill try directly

I'll join in 20 minutes

Connecting directly worked for me,just seems like im the only one here

Damn its been well over a decade since I played desert combat

yeah there are 2 people right now, i'd play but i'm hungry as fuck and will join in about 15-20 minutes

I'm too lazy to set all this shit up only to have trouble finding the server how much are you guys having.

Everytime I join the server it kicks me completely out of the game

does it crash the game or just kick you out?
if second, switch the game via "custom game" to the extended version, it should work

Change CD key.

nigger why do you think this shit is working at all? it didn't accept any keys i tried

So how well does this work on a toaster laptop?

It crashes the game

Works breddy gud

1942 is pretty toaster friendly

then it has something to do with the compatibility
did you install the fix?

...

told ya shit's dead. and we made the thread too late
but it's still summer so might have some players later

So anons since we are doing runs of old mods, Galactic Conquest mod Death Star run when?

Who keeps crashing joining the game?

me

Did you install the new compatibility patch?

maybe we'll do that too. right now i have more shit planned

install the patch, set the blackscreen.exe and the main BF executable to run with admin rights and if it's still fucked try changing the CD key

...

Did all that

changed the key?
then it should work properly
this is wrong

fuck my life
so the server is switched to the extended version of the mod now
uninstall the 9 version first
get this:
gamefront.online/files/4969329/dcx8_client_install.exe
then this:
web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.phavenscreations.com/Download/DCX8.1_Client_Patch.exe
then might get an optional patch to fix a pistol recoil not matching the sound:
s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=38501199231143765108

here's a list of features this fucking extended version offers ontop of it's urge to break:
- Homing missles
- A brand new army. The British which includes many new vehicles
- the Avrow Arrow… Try and take Zeuser on in that one.
- 68+ playable maps most supporting all mods of play. CQ,Coop,CTF,TDM and of course SP
- new and better BOTs
- Many hidden surprises out their for you to play with and find. ?
- Player guided SCUD missile
- SAM sites
- Mobile SAM Vehicles
- M.O.A.B.
- Parachuting Desert Patrol Vehicles
- More guns on Blackhawk
- Ural ammo supply truck. Also lays minefields.
- Destroyer launches guided Tomahawks and gets a helipad with a Seahawk
- Seahawk has defensive flares and drops guided torpedoes
- Phalanx guns on ships
- Ural tanker "suicide" bomb
- Artillery modifications to prevent "stealing" by other players
- Sub fires Guided Tomahawk and Guided Torpedoes and carries Navy seals
And many many many more…

It still keeps crashing when I try to join the server

i can't tell what the fuck could be an issue here because it works fine for me and another testing guy so you might have installed it incorrectly or something
the only things that i can come up with are that CD key issue or compatibility issues and as you said you tried to fix them all so there just shouldn't be any of this shit

Bump

The link for the game with the expansions doesn't work. Why is life suffering?

Is the server currently up?

whats up with this site and shitty games?

Battlefield always had terrible gunplay, you gotta headshot someone like 2 or 3 times in this game

People were willingly to play so we played.
Since you clearly have superior taste and know what's fun why don't you give us some ideas about what to play?

Pretty much this. I'm hurting for new games to play, so let's see what you have to offer.

go back to neogaf

The gunplay isn't necessarily what I'd describe as satisfying but you've got to admit that Battlefield's appeal isn't the gunplay.
You play Battlefield to experience squad and combined arms combat with tanks, planes, ships and infantry.
While shooting is integral to the game it isn't really what distinguished the Battlefield franchise from other games out there.

I better see some DC Sea Rigs on this map.

server

Whelp.
