Origin Client and RTR/SW/Simple Maps Issues

Dear SiMPLE Gurus,

I was thrilled to see the RTR/SW & Simple Maps available but seem to have hosed my Origin client-based BF1942 after running the installs. 

Now the game crashes @ launch with the bf1942.exe error.  I'm now thinking I may need to dump Origin and re-purchase the retail release. 

Before I do that I figured I'd post a note here and see if any of you have encountered the same issue.

Kind Regards,

FastFoodKills

Download BF1942 GameSpy patch and run it, it should fix that crash problem. BF1942 crashes because of a compatibility issue.

Thank you Tuia.

I installed the patch and it does seem more stable now.  Still crashing when I hit FH servers so there appears to be some issues I need to sort out.

Re: Origin Client and RTR/SW/Simple Maps Issues

So far, so good with the SIMPLE USA server.  However, I cannot connect to the French servers.  Added the server to the game browser as it's listed on Gametracker:188.165.220.115:14568 and it simply won't connect and I'm not getting the "data differs" error mentioned on another FR server thread.

Running RTR/SW and SIMPLE custom maps along with the gamespy patch.
