@Hodor

Seems you have the same problem as I had. I solved it as I described in this thread.
I modified the BF1942.exe (the one from this forum) so that the menu will display in 1920x1080 instead of 800x600. With this exe I have no more black screens when joining a server or when hitting ESC button. Here is a Link. Use it only if you also setup your game to this resolution in the video options from the menu. Otherwise your game will hang up when loading a map.

I have tried out all the suggested solutions I could find on this forum, but none of them was satisfying to me. The above solution worked for me, however the performance on my notebook was not good. Other suggestions such as enabling the hidden admin account and installing the compatibility fix didn't solve the problem at all.
Setting the game to 800x600 resolution solved the problem. The game would load normally, and no black screens when hitting the ESC button. But playing the game in such a low resolution was not enjoyable for me. So I wondered if it wouldnt be possible to setup the menu itself to the desired resolution, as the black screens would only occurr when the game is switching between resolutions.
In this post I found out how to realize it: http://www.bfmods.com/viewtopic.php?f=3 … =10#p12048

So I took tuias exe (this one here) and changed it according to the post above. For me this is the perfect solution. Game performance isn't affected and the game doesn't hang up in a black screen any more.
But since this is a hardcoded solution, other players with this problem would have to modify the exe according to their own resolution. But how is it possible to modify the exe in a way so that the menu would automatically be rendered in the same resolution as the set up ingame resolution? This must be possible somehow. In the UI mod (which you can find in the posted thread above) it was realized in that way.. However ONLY within the mod. So does anyone know what changes have to be made so that the menu resolution is the same as the ingame resolution regardless which mod you play? That way be could provide one patched exe for all other players with that problem.

@s[sk]:
Could you provide an instruction or the needed files to modify the server?
