Re: Windows 7 problem

Try to use Win XP SP3 compatibility mode for BF1942.exe (right click on it -> Properties -> Compatibility). Works perfectly for me.

and maybe run it as administrator. I have set it to Win XP SP2 btw and works fine (on windows 7 home premium), only when I try to mimimize the game (ctrl alt del) it sometimes crashes.

good luck!

Re: Windows 7 problem

Battlefield 1942 Windows Vista/Windows 7 compatibility fix increased yours and Vojislav ping time after you installed it?!
I haven't tried it before, but that's not good. So, you would recommend to those who have BF1942 crashes with Windows Vista or Windows 7 to just change compatibility mode?

Re: Windows 7 problem

Ok, so, after a few hours of trying, seems like it works best in win xp sp3 compatibility mode, with manually added firewall exception for bf1942.exe.
Fortunately it was possible to uninstall the patch without having to reinstall the game, and immediately my ping dropped drasticaly.
My steps of installation :windows 7 professional x64, AMD platform::::Source : bf1942 + rtr + sw + patch 1.61b, + pixelfighters win7 patch.
In fact the damn game haven't crashed once , after i added the exception into fw.
i hope it would help others smile

yep my ping was high then i just back compatibility to vista, but i heard that most players use just XP SP3 compat. I tried that today and looks fine ping is now much low about 30-40

AMD win7 64 user here as well. I was having your exact same probs up til the date. I dont have the pixelfighters thingie though, but reading thru this thread I changed from wnxp service pack 2 to sp3, lets see if it works. BF1942 occasionally crashes when a new map starts or at opening it first time. Thanks for this thread.

Use TCP Optimizer > Set back to windows default, but better "Optimal", save, then Restart.


Sorry, i saw it to late, that you solved the problem. Even when it's a huge work to reinstall all bec. of this problem.

Re: Windows 7 problem

...

When i played with Win7 64 i had much more crashes on Simple, then perhaps on AX. True...
But bec. i want to play on Simple, there was only one "simple" solution to avoid these crashes.

I installed XP on a other harddisks, ... ok, for some other games too, as example Fear 1. Since then i have no crashes anymore. I can choose the OS, (or let's say the harddisk), with F-Keys, when i start the PC. It's not a DualBootsystem as usual, only two OS separatly on two harddisks.


XP is also much better, if you like to play several Bf1942 mods.
