Hello Mamba

It's nice of you to reply. I downloaded yesterday this file: dgVoodoo v2.82.1 - for regular usage (released: 2023.11.28). It seems to be the same file as the one you suggest, perhaps in a more up-to-date version?

I put some files in the main game folder. It now works.

Do you know how I can update direct X (I had version 12 I think on windows 11) because I stupidly updated an older version (version 9) thinking it would solve the problem...

Hello, I have the impression that I have the same issues as used to have:
-The game launches, the intro video plays fine.
-In the menu, the menu initially appears all fine. But fields, click-boxes, sliders don't show.
-scanning for servers works fine
-once I launch a local game (without chaning any settings, of course), the game loads fine. The game then starts and bots deploy. I can select a player class (though again selection doesn't show). Once I join the game it immediately collapses and I am thrown back to windows.

Could you explain what to do about d3d8.dll? what is dg Voodoo 2? anything else?

Hello everyone,

After several months of inactivity and a new laptop, I'd like to play battlefield 1942 again.

I've tried to install the game but it seems that I'm having weird graphical problems. However, I've managed to activate directplay in the Windows 11 features. Could someone send me a proper link to download the game and add me to the BF42 thread on discord? My new nickname on discord is sommarel75.

See you soon and thanks for your assistance.

I was just kidding, the duration of my ban is shorter.

I don't have anything against Butcher either. Maybe he should be appointed admin considering his probity and his talents in recording smile

See you on the game Doubti. I don't know why, I like danes. I find them nice and they speak English well smile

If you could avoid being disrespectful and behave like a vulgar workman when addressing others on the forum, it would be appreciated (don't write "you are still shit"). Thanks.

Although I'm not a mind reader, I do have an idea why Butcher express himself as he did and sometimes does, Sommarel. And that is probably also the reason behind this topic - that players are treated (and monitored) differently and that can be somewhat frustrating. An easy way for you to feel this, would be if you played with Butchers IP and keyhash and see what would happen if you moved around and played like you do in this clip above. I could probably drop a lot of names that would clap their hands for such a clip with Butcher as in the main role, and I predicts actions being done very quickly... I'm not after you Sommarel, I'm just trying to picture for you what and where frustration might come from. Luckily we have plenty of funny guys in this forum to cheer us up :-)


I see what you mean but I don't really agree with you on this one. In other words, if Butcher had been caught he would probably have received the same kind of punishment as me. The ban is well deserved. Believe it or not, I did not try to negotiate anything with the authorities. I am not going to take part in these little quarrels between players such as Butcher and other guys who spend their time arguing and making a fuss. See you in 6 months smile

Why do you guys pay so much attention to 000? Yes, he usually shoots your dead body with a pistole when he beats you, drives the jeep into water when you are sitting in his passenger seat, abuses spawnraping, doesn't play as a team player, tries to provoke people by targeting them. Yet, I have never seen him practice team damaging and I don't think he does it. As Butcher said, I also chose to ignore him. Actually, most of his actions don't break the rules.

Personally, I just don't get how he can have fun playing that way, especially since he is probably playing several hours a day.

The funny thing is that he considers himself superior to other people in real life like Killer88 (I am refering to "eastern lowlife" and other insults on the forum). But I am not sure that he benefits from a high education level and social background.

#10 Re: Videos and Screenshots » Random short videos from the Battlefield » 2022-06-04 09:24:48

Actually I enjoyed playing the 1st round of Kharkov. The game was tense and interesting. There was a lot of action. The 2nd one was more boring in my point of view of course because we didn't manage to keep our back flag and the main base is pretty far from everything. The map could be even funnier with back flags impregnable. It would make the game funnier, providing constant attacks and fun at the mid flag because distances are short to walk. There is the same issue with other maps by the way.

The mid flag was indeed very well defended. There were some 1v1 confrontations between Nubian and me during the game, with firearms and knives smile

"french fence" => I like that funny linguistic expression smile It comes from Beyazz I am assuming ?

If I'm guessing correct "we" are "other Jokers players" and "nordic players" are players with some sort of advantage?
When I joined bf-league many years ago some of the very best players were german and dutch players - what happened?
In my last funwar vs Lop/Invictus they had a french player called Sommarel on their team and he was allmost unhitable for me and most of my teammates, but isn't it just the way BF1942 acts sometimes - in mysterious ways...

I don't remember dodging your bullets Doubti, on which map did it occur? Maybe in the second round of Berlin when I played a bit better than the 1st one... From what I remember, the game was fun and your team played pretty good.

Nubian: did you record this match?

#13 Re: Off-Topic » World War III » 2022-03-04 21:33:21

I hope that the war ends quickly.

I feel sorry for the Russian people who don't support their government in this war. Economists expect that what’s awaiting Russia may be much worse than the chaos of 1990s ... Some economists even predict that Russia may find itself in an economic catastrophe similar to 1918. "The longer that sanctions are upheld, and especially if they are expanded to include gas and oil exports, the more likely Russia is to become an untouchable capital market for years to come".

The war should not have a dramatic impact on the worldwide global economy because trade links between Russia and the rest of the world are very limited. Russian only accounts for 1.5% of global GDP and 3% goods exports from the eurozone. However, a war lasting into 2023 with tougher sanctions from western governments would cause an economic collapse in Russia. Why people in this forum like this intellectual fellow named Dionysus don't understand that ? smile Russian GDP could fall by more than 7% in 2022 and in 2023.

#14 Re: Off-Topic » World War III » 2022-03-01 19:12:02

Dionysus : why do you show aggressiveness?

My point is to say that if Russia had had a competent leader, the country could have quickly re-emerged as a major economic power by focusing mainly on improving its economic development and enhancing people's standard of living. Yet, apart from making war, Putin hasn't done much since he has been in power.

By making war, maybe Putin wants to divert the Russian people's attention from economic and social issues. But the risk it to bring Russia to the brink of bankruptcy and impoverish further its people.

Do you remember that quote from the former Minister of the Interior just before the Russo-Japanese War started in 1904 : “You don’t know Russia’s internal situation. We need a small victorious war to avert a revolution.” This quote does illustrate the infamous justification of making the war just to hide the stark economic reality...

#15 Re: Off-Topic » World War III » 2022-02-28 12:04:14

It is sad for me to notice that Russia used to be the 3rd most powerful economy in the world in 1913. Russian culture has a long and rich history, steeped in literature, ballet, painting and classical music. France and Russia share many historical ties.

The truth is that Russia has been experiencing a decline in many areas: economy, demographics, worldwide recognition.

From my point of view (I may be wrong), Putin has been trying to regain the lost importance and restore the Russian people’s pride in their country. But the results are sad. It seems that Putin did not succeed in reversing Russia’s structural decline. Russia has today the same GDP as Spain. Its economy suffers from an intense brain drain and its population is experiencing a significant decline with unusually high death rates from nonnatural causes, many related to alcoholism. Life expectancy, especially among working-age males, has dropped significantly. The Russian fertility rate has declined to among the world's lowest, while its abortion rate is the highest.

I hope that the Russian people will succeed in accepting their situation (Russia has lost its status as a superpower) and moving on.

Just a short tribute to this French actor who recently passed away at 88 years old. As you can see, an official ceremony was organised at the Hotel National des Invalides in Paris.

Nameless, from what I watched on the video you posted, you did not play as badly as you think you did. You showed a good performance as a pilot (many tanks bombed, some dogfights won, etc.).

What calls for attention is the atmosphere which sounded a bit gloomy on TS, with for instance Loony making many accusations against everyone about wasting planes, etc. It is a bit surprising to notice such an atmosphere, even if it is never fun to experience a bad round.

Well played Invictus. The game was tense and exciting. Both sides had ample opportunity to take the lead. Beyazz played very well in my opinion.

Nameless: if it can reassure you, I showed very bad performance too, especially on Bocage which is a map I enjoy playing very much. Funny to hear Razer say "bastard" from times to times in your videos, for instance on the 2nd video at 16:53 smile

Doubti => nice find smile I remember that french teams got destroyed during those infantry wars. How did sario find this article? Some names ring a bell. Which teams went to final? Probably SoD.

About Quagmire, he used to play for Cloud9 as a tanker in the old days if I am not mistaken. His name was firestorm. But he played for lop as "Quagmire" with "Uraw" from Denmark too.

I will see with UF Clan if they need a hand one of these days.

Cheers.

Doubti => Do you know Quagmire, he is from Denmark if I remember well? Maybe he would be interested in joining your Danish team for fun wars, who knows. It seems that you forgot to mention Mammo in your line-up smile

If you are welcoming non Danish players, I could be interested in participating in a fun war with UF.

Cheers

#27 Re: Videos and Screenshots » Random short videos from the Battlefield » 2020-12-06 20:14:21

If I remember well, it was possible to kill a pilot from the ground, with sniper for instance, in the past (1.3 version ?)
