HELP BF1942 Wont work at all

[stile62]

I've just reinstalled bf1942 with the new patch as I thought I may as well have a bash online now and would you believe it, it doesn't fuckin work although it works perfect in single player.

The problem is this :-

If I click on a server and it starts to load a map and that bar starts filling up it gets about half way through the load and crashes out to Windows, this happens on every map on server so does anyone know whats wrong?



This game was bought secondhand but is the orignal thing with key code so would that have anything to do with it?

 

[adams901]

Which servers are you trying to play on?

Also, try checking the log files, which can be located in;

'EA Games/Battlefield 1942/Mods/bf1942/logs'

Copy and paste what it says in there into a post.

Try connecting to there for me - ta

 

[stile62]

Seems to work now for some reason can't think why as nothing has changed, anyway thanks m8 for the help maybe now i can get a game

 

[Cdr]

heheh it could have been that the servers you were trying to connect to hadnt been upgraded to 1.45 yet, and so would crash you out.

There's nothing in that log to suggest it was anything wrong your end.

Happy gaming

 

[stile62]

Thats nice to know thought i might of bought o duff game for a sec their,thought someone might of been still using my registration code.

 

[Cdr]

Well, you're more than welcome to come to our community nights - you get priority on the server if you're a subscriber - it takes place Tuesdays and Wednesdays (Desert Combat), on the 2 Preview servers.

Much fun to be had.

 

[stile62]

Just had a quick game, why does it lag some much and is the any way i can improve it?

 

[Cdr]

Post the specs of your machine, and we'll see what can be upgraded

Should be working fine, RAM's a little low, and would be the thing to look at upgrading.

Check your connection speed setting in multiplayer options and try dropping it a notch. Give that a rip and report back.

 

[darthshearer]

I had the same trouble with pings. I also had problems with the slowness of opening maps check this and for the pings here is the advice I got Here

Hope this helps a little
