So this might sound stupid,

Is there any option to reverse the Windows upgrade which i did 2 months back?

I believe that if i can reverse it, i would be able to get the old windows back and will be able to play BF 1942

Acutally i had given my laptop to a service centre 2 months back for upgrading the RAM (8 gb to 16 gb) , installation of additional SSD card and upgradation of Windows.

Before doing the above service, my laptop was able to run BF1942, also i had the Intel UHD Graphics Control Panel wherein I was able to force the 800x600 resolution

Hi Arkos,

Yep, ... then just make sure, Bf1942 is running only at dedicated Grafic AMD Radeon.

Perhaps you need a workaround, if you can't see the crosshair in the game. But first, make it running.

Hi bud,

Thanks for your reply.

I opened my AMD Radeon Adrenaline Edition app. Unfortunately I don't have the "DISPLAY" tab under the "GAMING" tab in the software as shown in the image. roll  There are only "GAMES" & "COMPATIBILITY" tabs. And compatibility does not open, it says "unable to get requirements"
sad

Check if you have AMD Adrenaline software installed, if not you can download it at AMD site https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/software if you wish (there might be other ways to fix it, im not sure).

Anyway, so you can use this software to make custom resolutions with, in your case it seems you need to add the 800x600 one to be able to start the game.

Hode this helps.

Dear ARKOS

1) I cannot open the game at all. Hence I cannot set the configs manually in the game.

2) My laptop is HP

After that the game starts without the Menu and connects directly to the server you have choosen. For other servers you can just put more links with other adresses on the Desktop.

Hmm, ... isn't there a tool to Direct Connects to the servers?

...

Or you tell me, which Laptop you have and i have a look to add 800 x 600 resolution.

...

As example:

For Intel IGPU the Custom Resolution option was removed in the panel, but still there.

> Open "CustomModeApp.exe" in the Folder C:\Windows\System32 and select your 800 x 600

...

Dedicated Grafics should have anyway a option to add resolutions. (With the driver installed).

The game, the patches and Direct play are all installed properly.

It is because i dont have the 800x600 resolution in my laptop. I cannot even force this resolution, don't have the option for it. I tried various tutorials on youtube. Nothing worked.

Now only solution is making the game run on higher resolution.

I am not able to open the game. Whenever i try to open it becomes black for 1 second and goes back to desktop screen. i believe it is because my laptop does not have 800x600 resolution.

Hi Serebro,

Thank you for the link.

just wanted to know if the Battlefield 1942 downloads in the link are RETAIL or ORIGIN version ?



I went to the link and

1)    downloaded the BF 1942, Road to Rome , Secret Weapons & the v1.61 Patch.

2)    I installed the BF 1942, Road to Rome & Secret Weapons

3)    Then I ran the   "SiMPLE-BF1942-New-Maps.exe"   patch into the Battlefield 1942 game's folder.

4)    after that i ran the   "Punkbuster42.exe"   patch into the Battlefield 1942 game's folder.

5)    Then the   "battlefield_1942_gamespy_patch_v1.61.exe"   patch into the Battlefield 1942 game's folder.

6)    after I copied the contents of    "bf1942-v1.61-retail-patched.zip"   file to the Battlefield 1942 game's folder.

7)    Then i copied the contents of    "BF1942_w32ded-1.61-patched.zip"   file to the Battlefield 1942 game's folder.

8)   Finally i ran the    "BF1942_-_master.bf1942.org_-_Patch.2.exe"   patch into the Battlefield 1942 game's folder.

The files and patches from the above steps (serial number 3 to 8) , I got them from here  "//team-simple.org/download/".....   I followed the steps from 3 to 8 because someone had directed me 9 months back in this forum. That time I could play the game in single player as well as multiplayer mode. But now after I did the above steps and tried to run the game, the screen blacks out for 1 second and goes back to the desktop...  game is not opening

This is my system specification:-
Processor    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz   1.80 GHz   
Installed RAM    16.00 GB
System type    64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Windows 10 Pro

CAN YOU HELP ME.

By the way , i ran the game as Administrator....
