Also remember  when you enable  desktop  recording mode,  it's a  advisable   you are running the latest  community version of bf1942 to make sure your main menu screen is actually running  in your  desired  resolution.   
Because bf1942 by default the main menu would be  running in 800 by 600.
Which can screw up  your recordings  but it's no longer an issue with you have  the latest
community installed bf1942.exe  since this supports  higher resolutions.

Thank you for making the video.

When I open GeForce Experience and navigate to the settings, I don't see any icon with a padlock on it (privacy settings). What should I do then?

Maybe I have an older version  or  newer version  of  NVIDIA experience,   I don't know which one would be true in this case  for me.
Obviously they made some changes in the settings panel.
Because for me it has always been  in that location  and it has  never been removed.
But then again  even though I update my drivers  I never actually  navigate to the settings in all this time so things could have changed  in the newer or older versions so that's why they are different for you maybe. 

So the only thing I can do is check for version difference this is currently the version I am running of NVIDIA experience, see screenshot. I am on version 3.27.0.112

  I did turn on experimental features but I don't think  that is necessary for recording but I  don't know for sure to be honest.
You can find this  in the general options  I think it's  front page.

( edit ok I just did a quick Google search for when it's not available as a  option
I found this video  maybe you have multiple monitors ?

so this all above I just wrote might not mean anything.   )

So you can press update on the server  list from the original  fix  executable  and it  gives  you a list of servers ?
because http://master.bf1942.sk/  is still offline for me  and  from insight  knowledge  s[sk]  is not going to startup the server again.

ive expected this moment for 7½ years, since ssk put up his unofficial master server back in the summer of 2014. b42 was in big trouble then, and is now again

i predicted ssk would do this shutdown sometime in 2022, because, after he lost all his population back in spring 2021, he probably was 95 % sure that it never would come back, but waited one last time for the high pop winter season, to see if any miracles would occur. they didnt, so he finally shut ax (highly likely permanently) down

this is probably the end for bf1942, and reasonable population in the two largest servers remaining; simple and moongamers. i doubt that the new-new alternate master server will make a difference unless its possible to make it work from inside b42 clients without these having to change/do anything

editing hosts files is not a good solution on a global bf1942 scale, since the vast majority dont know how to, and wont do that

get ready for real low population, and many players finally ditching this game for good, after 20 years

During the First  master server shutdown  I was one  of the people  spreading the news that we had a new Master server  you probably  seen my topics  pop-up and come by on so many forums.
my nicknames E-3,  mortarman, emile44,
I will do it again if we have a  workable master server  because I love this game  I don't care who run the master server  all I care about  is keeping the players playing  and have a easy to install  server fix.


bf1942  will survive this and  yes ! we probably lose some players  but they will come back eventually as long as we keep  information quickly available  we have to use to power of the internet to our  advantage.

You could try once deinstalling your AMD GPU Drivers with DDU and after you install the newest directly downloaded from AMD.

(If it works after, ... good / if not try a previous driver from before your actual one and if even this won't help, then you have to wait for a fix or surround by some settings.

...

I am myself on the rx580 I can run any driver the latest or early versions  and I have no problems with battlefield 1942. 

the rx 5700  is having issues from the  beginning  so no driver fix there for no other option but to force amd to fix it.

For  people buying a new computer   last november 2019 came the first report that the new amd rx 5700 is having issues with battlefield  1942 having no crosshair visible.  Please see link.
http://team-simple.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7614

About a few weeks later I noticed  somebody  having similar issues on  reddit  please see link.

https://www.reddit.com/r/classicbattlef … indows_10/

then this year on discord I noticed  another person having the same issues,  then I got told  that another person is having the same issues on Battlefield Vietnam  which is not surprising because the Battlefield Vietnam uses exactly the same engine as  battlefield  1942.
see  screenshot.
rx5700-problem.jpg

and this

https://helloclan.eu/threads/8990/

I have very little hope  AMD is going to fix this driver issue on such a old game,   therefore  I have no other option  then to do damage control   and warn  every  Battlefield 1942 community about this issue.

I attempted to get a popular topic on the amd subreddit   I've been  unsuccessful  so far
in order to get popular  I needed  upvotes see this.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/f … firm_that/

However  if AMD decides to fix the issue  I will remove reports from every  community forum  I posted this on.
only the future will tell what will happen.

#11 Re: Technical Help » Missing crosshair and menu problems » 2019-12-26 23:12:23

little late on reply but I suggest to all of you guys to report this to AMD the more BATTLEFIELD 1942 fans report the more probability that they will fix it. https://www.feedback.amd.com/se/5A1E27D229AE7B43

your not the only 1 with that problem see https://www.reddit.com/r/classicbattlef … indows_10/

Qtracker has been online since 1998. This is a long time. Qtracker will almost certainly never go offline.

Why did we all move to a master server that may be online for a few years at most? The owner of this master server did not even release a copy for the public to use. The man created a private master server and advertised it heavily. This man effectively owns Battlefield 1942.

We made a mistake moving to the aX master server, and we would be wise to move to Qtracker. A direct link which will update your Battlefield 1942 master server is below.

Qtracker BF1942 master server patch: http://www.mediafire.com/download/hgh0d … Server.exe

www.qtracker.com has some more information and features which you can use to scan servers.

btw i advertised the ax master server heavily im known as mortarman E-3 emile44 lordyu  and thats about it i think.
im just a simple bf1942 player that hate to see my favorite game die without a fight  so knew i had  to do something about it at that time qtracker 2014 had only a copy paste server list and not a working master server also it was very hard to move to it as you need to edit your own host file there where no installers ready unlike ax they made installers a new bf1942.exe  and a working master server to host on qtracker in 2014 was not ready for this move ax was so that why i advertised ax all over the internet.
also the qtracker program will not fix the the freeze of death in bf1942 only a new master server will!
and again not many know how to edit your own hosts file at even now that all there is on qtracker site

first team simple great work on the front page download of bf1942 and i know its not legal what I'm going to say here but they give us no option here i think its time we make a all in 1 installer  that got s[sk] bf1942.exe and road to rome + secret weapons and put up as free download all over the web to get new players to bf1942. it was already free and they are now trying to kill BF1942 we are the fans! we dont want this so lets make that installer i think Cry Engine 3 is bad idea how long before ea will take crysis 3 server offline huh ? ea is pure evil they wont let game life long anymore if you look at bf4 its all website based very easy to kill once they want it dead

I don't really understand why we have to create an other master server. If GameSpy shuts down, it will only be problematic if you want to refresh the server list (no server will appear on the screen). If EA Games doesn't deliver support for BF, keeping the IP adress in favorites or connecting by Xfire should be enough (I think).
But I think it would be good to warn players on the server that it will not be possible to connect to Simple if they do not have it in favorites. Is it possible to print automatic messages during the game (like Hitler and Stalin quotes) asking players to register on this forum where they can find all they need to keep playing BF ? The BF community will probably lose some players after the 31th May, but we can limit it.
Sorry if what I'm saying is stupid, because I'm not a computer wizard.

bf1942 will freeze when that master server go offline if you click on update button or ingame when you press esc to close or change settings of bf1942 we as bf1942 community all have to work as one team on 1 all out fix so all know where to go
