Use the serch button.
And replace also mod.dll
and read the .nfo file

I have replaced the mod.dll in the dirctory bf914/mods/bf1942 and there replaced the original mod.dll file with the downloaded pacth file (size 3kb, is that small and is it corrcted?). STill the game won't just start

I had a similar problem. But in my case I simply forgot to change the 'renderer.allowAllRefreshRates' setting to '1' in the VideoDefault config file (Folder: Battlefield 1942/Mods/bf1942/).

I'm running Windows XP and this game has issues going from the desktop to the Intro Video at the default refresh rate. Everytime you apply a patch it resets the VideoDefault config file to the default settings.

Otherwise the no-CD patch works well. It even worked before I installed the PlayFix.

First to ash2dust2. Yes I mean the search button

. miss the "a" in my spelling. Sorry

.

To dawe0000.
If U have downloaded the GCW crack for 1.3.
Read the NFO file.
U are totaly out in the air.
Becuase it says how U should install the crack.
The mod.dll should be 3 KB so it correct.
And also install GameSpyHost.dll. I've have no clue if is gonna work batter. But U should try. And READ the NFO file by Team Fairlight.

The GCW has reales a new Battlefield 1942 1.3 crack. Call Playfix. Don't ask me what it means, becuase the thing is new for me.
That is only 5 KB hmm...
Any way try that file if not other works!

I had the same bug with BF1942 not starting. The trick is to install the game as version 1.0 first and load it up. This creates some configuration files that are required for the game to load.

THEN, install the official 1.3 patch and then your no-cd patches.

Works fine.

every patch resets this, so you have to repeat it after every new official patch
