Glad to hear everything worked out.  What did you do?

I had something similar a while back and I used this program: https://geekuninstaller.com/download?version=1.5.2.165
I can't remember so much now though, so double check it's OK and everything before installing it.

That's cool. Promoting this old game is a worthy pursuit. Keep them coming! How do you know if the download link has been used? Does YouTube tell you?
I noticed that you don't put tags in your videos (BF1942, FPS, Battlefield, WW2, etc) . I don't know how much they help or not, but they might.

I like using a joystick because it feels more like I’m actually flying a plane. I was a kid in the 1980s and used to watch Iron Eagle on VHS every weekend and then jump on my family’s Amiga 500 to play some flight simulator games while listening to rock music. And I still do! (Not the VHS part). I’m just a kid at heart and using a joystick is simply more fun. That’s also why I don’t use the view angles very much; because it feels more like flying a radio controlled plane than actually being in the plane. And that is why I suck at dogfighting

Btw, do you use a joystick or mouse, or just keys?

I always enjoy your videos. I like that you put effort into making them good: proper thumbnail, editing, music, decent gameplay, etc. but most of all I like your villain persona. You’re not afraid to be arrogant, and I think that’s something that other games have but BF1942 lacks as everyone is mostly mature now. Ten years ago there were loads of villains. It was like pro wrestling, or a soap opera. The community lacks the off field entertainment now. At least, that’s my feeling. But you’re shaking things up again. It’s like you’ve parachuted in from the console world and you’ve brought that culture with you. IDK, but I think controversy is good to liven things up.

I make an effort to like and comment on your videos. They say that helps with the algorithm. The way I see it, the more people who see the effort you put into this game, and thus realise that BF42 is still alive, the better.

Is that the resolution of your monitor?

I have 1920x1080 and it feels normal for me. Sometimes the game randomly switches to the original bf1942 resolution and it feels weird and too square.

Everything is so wide.
What resolution do you play with?

Wow! That's really nice!
Does it take you a long time to edit videos like that?
You're using Resolve?

Thanks! Yeah I never thought about encoding the sound separately but that makes sense. There is sound in the video that I put as a background/intro, but there are a couple of glithcy chirp sounds. I guess encoding separately would make it cleaner. It's good enough for me as it is though.

Sorry not to get back to you yesterday. This is what I used: https://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm

I changed my main menu background video recently. It wasn't difficult but the hardest thing was finding an MP4 to Bik converter. I found one online that worked. I didn't have a video in mind to use though so I used a stock video of a zen waterfall just as a test and haven't changed it yet. So now when I start BF42 I'm taken to a peaceful forest scene with water flowing and birds chirping - not so appropriate!

I found the audio is buggy though.

I just re-read this entire thread.  What nostalgia. What a waste of time!

Wow! That takes me back to the days of playing Amiga 500 games in the 1980s and early '90s!
Almost everything used a joystick!

But the way - I may have accidentally clicked report on this post.  That was a mistake - sorry if I inconvenienced anyone.
