The no cd works fine and does excactly what it says on the tin, i can play the game and join servers with no cd, its the server bit thats the problem. :mad: cant even host on LAN, sux so bad.
Ahh well. this must be the part u say use the original CD

GUK : nah....the link, that viperspit posted is REALLY working....i can now host a multiplayer LAN game without a CD...everything is running smooth....i don't know....

the problem is that most people are getting the two files mixed up....the server fix that fixes the Gimps release works for some people...but not all......the no-cd sp/mp FINAL WORKING RELEASE by overkill (the update on http://******************.com) works for pretty much everyone, but still a few still cant get server access....the best thing to do is try both of them...they should work.

A lot of useful information here, but it still has not solved my problem. This is my situation:

I can play sp/mp-games without any hassle, but when people try to join a LAN game I hosted, they get Data differs from server-error.

Both PCs has the exact same Battlefield-version and Ive tried with MANY different cracks, always using the same on both PCs.

Ive tried every crack, and im still getting the same error, even with the new overkill-crack. Anyone know why this is? What can I do? Ive tried hosting CloneCD images with Deamon Tools too..

Thanx for any help.

ok...now this is what i did: the first time, i've just uninstalled DC 0.35, then patched to 1.4 and installed DC 0.38....afterwards i found out, that none of the fixes works.....so i reinstalled to version 1.31 of BF....then i realized that i could possibly play it with the image mounted, so i upgraded to 1.4, DID NOT CRACK, and installed DC 0.38 again :)......it WORKED!! i could host a LAN game...and no one had the data differs from server message.....everything went fine....and then viperspit posted the direct link to a WORKING!!! (REALLY) [thanx again :) ] no CD fix...so now i'm smoothly running a LAN server for my friends and we play DC on LAN....hope this helps.... :)

P.S. DC RULEZZZ!!! :D

got a direct link for this no cd that dont give datta differs from server bs? i didnt see it on *********

yea...here u are....

OMFG how could I have been so stupid. I read in the FAQ of this program(some Refresh Rate Fixer) ages ago and it had something about BF1942 not being able to working anymore after they had changed the refresh rates. I tottaly forgot about that. But the stupid thing is that I read that today but didnt think of it lol. Thanks skuko. Im 100% sure it will work cause every other crack I have applied has. This one just needed some tweaking :D.

Thanks, Eddie

heya....don't be mistaken....what u're writing about has NOTHING to do with those non-functioning noCD fixes...it's just getting to run the game in general....you'd have that refresh rate problem even with the 1.31 patch.... I personally had that prob with the 1.1 patch and since then after every new patch installation I change that variable...so i don't have any probs with running the game...as i say: those non working cracks are a WHOLE different issue..

Yes, they all work, except for DesertCombat
 

these cracks i have seen posted everywhere work for battlefield 1942. However, they fail to do their job when hosting battlefield 1942 DesertCombat 1.4 .38d :) ......... I have personaly tried all of them, and reintaled the game about 10 times, ,,.... any suggestions?

i don't use no cd patches at all anymore too many problems,
find "alcohol 120%" load it up, create a virtual drive, make an image of your cd,
load the image every time you want to play and you will
have no problems.
The only drawback is you have to have plenty of disk space
to handle the images once you start making them for all your games.
Only allow alcohol to make 1 v drive as it seems to mess things up and lag lots when you create too many.
good luck.

Yo people, listen up!!!

Ive got some good news:
There is a new crack available at gamecopyworld.com now that should pretty much fix the problem for everyone.
Check it out!



Happy cracking!!

Hey skuko I changed that 0 to a 1 and everything works now. The only thing thats wierd is I have to get out of the game (eg BF1942) to change to RtR or DC. Anyone know how to fix this or will I just have to put up with it, its no big deal anyway. Also the voices in game sound like chipmunks(really squiky), like when you select the binnoculars and left click. Does someone know how to fix this?

Thanks, Eddie

Don't bump, please... RincewindTheWiz

All it says for me is "patch failed"
