GameSpy shutdown cancelled?

But I don't understand why were there more players active earlier today when the server responded with an empty list whereas now it is not responding at all...what's the difference?

massive freeze when you enter Multiplay->Internet (long timeout on trying to connect to master, it was accepting connections before although it was returning empty list)

You are right, thanks. I forgot about this freeze thing because, if I remember correctly, the widescreen patch by tuia fixed this issue, so it works ok for those people who downloaded it.

all servers are almost empty

It's all over, time to play Counter-Strike Source with all the script kiddies.

Then you understand nothing! I had played this game about 3 years ago.

DoD is good, i used to play it some years ago.

But!

BF1942+xfire makes everything alive.

Wow bf1942 is dying very fast. People do not even search around for a fix it seems

Syndrum² · 2014-07-31 22:22:41

I have created a website www.bf1942-multiplayer.com with a new patch with the master server 109.71.69.254 master.gamespy.com
So that people can easily find the solution.

This website will contain more about Battlefield 1942,
and the game Battlefield 1942 (incl the new masterserver) is soon free to download from my site.

Cool. Any information on what makes this InstallShield version better / preferable / more functional than the HOSTS file patcher -=AX=- already provided for using their master server?

nothing special it looks familiar, like all patch that was created by EA Games.
it creates a restore point if the patch causes problems, you can rollback files.
and includes several languages, and so on.

There will be an update to this patch, and I make a patch called all in one patch.
I'm working on it

tuia · 2014-08-01 00:06:32

What does that patch installer do? Replace hosts file, with your edited hosts file that includes "109.71.69.254 master.gamespy.com" line?
If so, it's not a good idea, because some might have inserted other entries in hosts file, including myself, and don't want to have it replaced with a new hosts file.
You should be better linking to the BF1942 hosts file patcher by s[sk] or BF1942 GameSpy patch installer by me.

that's why there is an update coming for this patch i have found a different way without replacing the file.

tuia · 2014-08-01 00:23:32

Ok, but why create another patch if it accomplishes the same thing as BF1942 hosts file patcher?

I see, it may lead to added confusion, naming it Battlefield Multiplayer and I personally hate InstallShield installers, they can mess up.

Syndrum² · 2014-08-01 00:39:20

What name sounds better? nothing can mess up the installation because it does how i have set him.
and if so, the installation program creates a restore point.

tuia · 2014-08-01 00:51:40

Call it Battlefield 1942 Multiplayer patch, I don't know. As I've wrote it would be better sticking to one of the two solutions, it will lead to confusion another patch.

Today i tried to connect to SiMPLE and server was full so i got into main menu and into the multiplayer. My multiplayer list had still some old entries and when i clicked on SiMPLE there it got refreshed. How can it be? I haven't installed the fix with new masterserver.

edit: I mean i did not try "Update" but I was still wondering why it would refresh, I dl Bf here but that was long before the shutdown.
