I  guess that answers my query!
My suspicion turns to pity.
Yes Lord W perhaps Deeko does need hugs.
Peace to all.

PS be on your best bahaviour when they're about.
They'll use your indiscretions to get you banned.
Ask XTuga or Birtje or Hillbillyninja (admin rights) and no doubt others.
Despite Deeko not being banned for bugging...(Revenge is sweet?)

I hope to see them back in Simple sometime soon.

Phew that's a funny one!
Seeing as no-one else has made any suggestions I'll give you my tuppence worth.
Have you looked at your graphics card settings? Maybe something amiss. (Not in full screen mode or something like that).
Maybe update graphic drivers/windows updates.
or

I would suggest re-installing the game using the above link/download.
All patches are included.

Good luck!

Use this

Five days of 'cold turkey' may have been enough for many to break their 'addiction'.
Here's hoping the 'urge' comes back.
Mine is still strong
Noobs like myself like a bit of a crowd to hide behind lol

Optimising server settings back to original is helping.
Let's be patient.

Don't give up yet.
Your pc may have blocked it.
Some pc's don't like exe. files
Try again and look for 'no entry' signs on your top bar.
Click and let it allow the download.
Good luck

Alternatively reinstall the game from scratch. I've found that always works when I get a seemingly insurmountable problem.
(Download Battlefield 1942) above which now includes the patch I believe.

Tnx for the info Tuia. Interesting

To access the servers remove your old 'favourites' and add the new  ones.
Worked for me

I just accessed Tanks a Lot; It seems to be working.
Watch out for ff though. It's turned on on Tanks a Lot

Dropping grenades at your feet is a nono some will be disappointed to hear lol!
Adjustments are still to be made it seems.
Tnx

Had a problem recently though I've sorted it.
Just in case anyone else has the same problem I'll mention it here.

When I deleted an old player profile the screen freezes and mouse locks.
Only ctrl alt del gets me out and I have to restart the computer to re-enter windows.
And then if I try to start Battlefield it black screens and crashes.
I've found that re-installing Battlefield makes it work again.
Perhaps it is the d3d8.dll thing but re-installing seems to work
Happy camping

A bit of fun. Dont get offended!

Simon conducting...Test01 on kettle drums. Maj merlin on French Horn.
Tanks a Lot 'home team'  string section.
I'm on triangle lol.

Having looked at gametracker forum I can see posts concerning 'floods of fake servers' and 'not functioning correctly recently'.
So I believe the stats are not to be trusted. ( I knew that!).
I don't wish to downgrade anyone else's achievements though.

I cant be the only person affected can I? It definitely happened to Test01 as well the other day.
Although a quick browse through a few players didn't show anything untoward.

BTW it is still reporting my presence in Tanks a Lot 3 hours after I left!?
I wonder how I'm getting on lol. Doubt I'll be scoring much seeing as I'm here.
Was actually only in for 5 minutes and got 1 kill! Just to see if it reports my kill eventually...
I played last night and it reported my stats correctly.

Hckrs? (They must be really bored lol)...or maybe just boring
I guess I put myself out there as a target with my posts? But why Test01?

The reset has been quite enlightening. I believe it has been like this for a while.
Still love the game though especially with my new found good connectivity.
Just have to delete my Gametracker bookmark ignore and move on.
Last post on this subject.
See you on the battlefield. ( if my CD Key is not in use lol.).

Unfortunately it encourages spawn camping!
If you got a point for taking a base it might be better but it doesn't and lets face it taking bases can be risky.
Ask Sepp.:)

WTF Gametracker!
I think its relevant to this post.
Being an 'average' player little victories are important to me.
Gametracker having reset their statistics have regained a new vigour for some people to top the lists and why not?

Imagine my chagrin to realise my stats have been nullified by whatever...
Gametracker claims that I played for 3 1/2 hours scoring 0 when I actually played for 20 minutes yesterday scoring something dunno what.
Left abruptly due to hopeless stacking btw.

I was quite proud of my scoring ratio but that's f****d now.

I've noticed this before many times but always put it down to my VPN confusing things.
However I'm fortunate not to need it any more due to good connection for a month now.
It also happened to Test01 I've noticed but nobody else!

I guess its no big deal but I've found it discouraging.
Hope nobody else feels the same.
?

Server half full, server half empty. Which are you?

Your PC may show a slightly different picture than the server sometimes. (Especially when you shoot that rear zooker but you die and he doesn't lol).
The server updates your PC. (Clunky register). It's the same for everyone. Dunno about mods though.

As for game balance which truly makes for a good game.
It only takes a few sensible players to team swap to sort that. Doesn't help your kill ratio but makes for a better game!
Of course only if the auto team balance allows.
If the team with the fewer players is stronger this cannot happen (Simon!).

That's why i leave Tanks a Lot sometimes when you're playing btw.
Nothing personal just a crap game. (Pounding the base or being pounded in base!) No fun!
I'm probably not alone in that thinking.
Maybe disengaging auto team balance might help?
Just my tuppence worth...

On a more positive note I've noticed my dreaded 'con probs ' seem to have gone for about 5 days now.

Having just done a trace route out of curiosity it seems something has changed!
Much is the same but something has been added.
Four steps of twelve99,net have been added. Something to do with Worldstream.

Anyway I hope I'm not being premature but if there's a connection between this change and my new better connectivity then long may it continue.
Paul Baumer said they were working on server issues.
If so it bodes well for the future of the game.

Has anyone else noticed an improvement? Especially those with similar issues to me.
Maybe it's just my network that's improved...
Would finally like to pin the problem down but if it's gone...Who cares! lol
May all your hits be registered!

'Caltech' has opened a right can of worms...
Hmmm.

I think everyone should lighten up a bit?

Here's a hilarious 'new player experience'. Quite imformative and 'quite' balanced.
A lot of familiar situations highlighted.

Worth watching to the end to get the full balance.
Do you think he would have got banned for beaching the Carrier today? lol
