Battlefield 1942 Patch Help

Jawbone · #1 23-02-2003, 14:49

I downloaded the patch/crack and everything was working great, now I can't play online. I get a "data differs from server" message when I try to conect to an online game.
I played online with the patch/crack so how come I can't now? Any help you can give me would be great. Thanks.

"data differs from server" means one of your files is not the same version as that of the server.

Un-install, re-install, apply official 1.3 patch and connect. If at that point you're getting the same message, contact EA.

That isn't true. "data differs from server" can also mean that the Server checks the files. It's a kind of protection.
Dump your original CD:s to the harddriver.
Then mount the game in a mounting tool.

Use the search button or read the stickys for more info!

Ok, whatever, thats pretty nitpicking of semantics.

My tipp is, that he you dont make the "Crack Fix" from Gamecopyworld. There is the crack with all it files, and there is an "Crack Fix" or "Online Fix". use it, than you can play online.................. if it doesnt work, uninstall the game and use the CD´s. Than it works..............
