Battlefield 1942 help needed.

I just installed Battlefield 1942 and then I installed the 1.6 patch and the game stopped working. Now I have it patchless but there are no servers that work now. Can anyone tell me what i need to get? Thanks.

I haven't played it in awhile, but perhaps you have to patch in steps - start with the first patch and go up to the current one. Alternatively, the reason it doesn't with the new patch could be due to your video card drivers being out of date - try updating those and see if that fixes it.

You can get the full 1.6 version....but you can also d/l it in steps.

1.3 to 1.4, 1.4 to 1.5, etc.


What map are you trying to play?

Also - there's a few different 1.6 downloads - some are for servers and others are for clients (you) and some are complete and some are just updates to the last set of patches.

Yes. I've tried about 20 different servers. The maps for those servers are default maps. My game still says map not found.

Have you tried reinstalling and then installing the full 1.6 patch?

What game interface are you using?

In game? Gamespy? All Seeing Eye?


I'd say uninstall and do a clean reinstall but I'm guessing you've already done that.
