What did they do to Battlefield 1942??
That new patch is the stupidest patch I've ever seen. I don't know if I did anything wrong, but I cant even open the game anymore, the only .exe there is for running a server. You're now basically forced to use ASE (which I dislike as all the servers I see are either locked, empty or have a ping of like 500) or that Gamespy piece of crap. What happened to the ingame browser, was their solution to remove it totally? I tried to connect to 1 server that wasn't full, it loaded some sort of splash screen which was buggy and illegible then loaded a second bugged screen where all I saw was 'Error'.
I mean are these guys on crack or did I do something wrong here? I surely won't buy the game if it doesn't even have an .exe to run it with an ingame server browser or option screen.

I found out looking around. On the 1942 website, some of the links are incorrect and take you to the dedicated server patch, which deletes the game. How stupid is that? they can't even put the correct links so I deleted the game.

It sounds like the identical problem. A few people were installing under Program Files, and uninstalling completely wiped out that directory structure.
