If you have installed from the original CD's there is a likely hood that you are missing some patches, do you remember 1.61 and then the 1.61b?

Try this:
Install the game from your CD's as you did before.
Download 1.61 and 1.61b and apply them in that order and then apply the GameSpy patch as above a see how that goes.

You can find 1.61 and 1.61b here : http://www.planet-fun.co.uk/index_sub3.html

I seem to remember this same thing came up before a while ago smile

Thanks. With the patches, do I need to extract them to a particular place or just from my desktop?

Hi guys,

I've been reading/searching the posts and there seems to be alot of uber-knowlegebale people here so I am hoping someone can help.

I have the original CD and want to start playing again. I need a noob-level, step-by-step, tutorial on how to reinstall the game on a windows-7, 64 bit, pc to play online. The game installs ans starts fine but no servers available. When I applied the suggested patch i get 'No Battlefield 1942!'.

I would be eternally grateful for any help anyone could give.

Thanks.
