YEAH the crack doesnt work for me either
 

I followed the directions perfectly, and as soon as I launch the game it crashes... Theres a log file thats in the mod/bf? directory that says my DirectX drivers are outdated, which is crazy, cause there the lastest and greatest...
I can run the original exe with my CD and it works
fine.

So whats up !!!!

I did install the lastest Detenator 41.03 Nvidea
drivers, could that be messing me up.


Someone please help all of us that cant get this going.

Well, I can only say that when my firewall messes up, I also get blocked at the soldier screen, without any progress bar appearing and it looks like it crashed, though it didn't. I'm using a clonecd image of the original mounted with daemon tools, I'm going to try the crack later on and see if it works. In the meantime, a good tip is completely reinstalling from scratch and applying the 1.2 patch, then adding the crack. I had to reinstall even though I didn't use ANY crack nor ANY mod. I had the weirdest problems after applying the 1.2 patch, a reinstall fixed everything. Also take care that you use the correct official patch, EA messed up and uploaded a beta patch initially, the beta patch was up on 3dgamers for quite a few hours, I initially had the wrong one too.

The bad patch has the following characteristics : name:"bf1942_v1.2_full.exe", size:22,955,046 bytes.
The correct patch has the following characteristics : name:"battlefield_1942_v1.2_full.exe", size:22,956,029 bytes.

Make sure you're using the correct patch, and if you have the bad one, redownload it, it was fixed on 3dgamers and all other mirrors.

Hi guys

Maybe someone has a answer or solution for following

New installed BF1942, installed the patch and then the crack.
After this the game starts upto the loading bar (mission or campaign in single play) the bar fills upto 1/3 and then the system crashes.

Help me pls
:(

Re: HEY I GOT IT TO WORK !!!!!
 

Not wise to install DX9 BETA on your computer...... Should have stuck with DX8.1b or that DX8.2 that is now doing the rounds on some retail releases.

Whats wrong with DirectX 9.0 RC0
 

Why not why ? Everything seems to run OK.

Where can I get DircetX 8.2 ? this is the first I heard of them.

Thanks

You will find out WHY when you try to install the official release of DX9.

Or when the Microsoft time limit expires... always fun to have a pc without any working directx, plus it's hard to remove it.

Here is the BF1942 1.2 No-CD Crack

There ya go....that's all you need. Follow the instructions in the .nfo file. Tested it, and it works....no more checking my damn CD (which takes like 10 seconds) between each map!!!

Don't know how long that link will be up...if it fails, then just send me an IM on AIM at Virii1976, and I'll upload it to my website.

:cool:

I found a problem when trying to install the 1.2 crack and had just patched OVER the 1.1 crack. First, replace any files from the 1.1 crack with the "real" files... patch to 1.2 again... then install the 1.2 crack per the nfo instructions. This worked for me.
