if u still get "DATA DifferS FROM SERVER" then u made a mistake somewhere.
if the game crashes to the desktop thats because u must join a bf1942 r2r server by going into bf1942 r2r icon NOT just normal bf1942 icon, vice versa...ok??
if u get "Invalid Key" its coz ur using a bad key and ur tryin to join a retail server

okay, let's make some things clear. the first crack that was released for the 1.3 patch (FLTDOX one) was bad. it wasn't compatible with original, so even with original cd-key you couldn't play on the noncracked servers, and with a noncracked exe you couldn't play on cracked servers.

so that's why IMSDOX made a crackfix for it, but not nearly all of the cracked servers use it. so if you are trying to connect with FLTDOX exe to a server running IMSDOX patched exe, you get "data differs from server" error. and also if you're trying to connect FLTDOX cracked server with IMSDOX exe you're getting the same error, get it? you just have to change the exe depending which cracked server you're playing (of course you can't know it until you try to connect to it).

and this crashing to desktop is probably a BF 1.3 bug, it happens to me everytime i get "cd-key in use", "invalid cd-key", "data differs from server" or "server is full" error. next time i try to connect to some server, it throws me back to desktop.
