Re: Battlefield 1942 Questions & Answers

How to set up the screen resolution to expand the screen for BF 1942 from the standard only option 800 600 32 60 to 1920 1080 32 60?
If i try to change the parameters in "Video.con and VideoDefault.con", BF 1942 goes to a black screen after connect to an online Server? Any Solution? Using game package is the ready patched "Battlefield 1942 HD".

Direct Play in Windows 10 activated?

Blackscreen.exe > compatibility Mode > Start as admin?

And here is the newest patch > https://team-simple.org/download/battle … _v1.61.exe

Thank you for your fast solution. Direct Play was activated. But the Blackscreen.exe... solution i didnt knew before. Thank you.
It works not perfect now, but it works. :-) How to give this same screen resolution stretch to the Game Menu?

I test it again, after end of map the "blackscreen back to the desktop" crash comes to the map change. Also the crash comes by enter a server from "BF 1942 Vanilla Menu" to the Desert Combat Mod for example.

If i let it on the 800 600 32 60 all runs fine. Why this different to the resolutions?

Re: Battlefield 1942 Questions & Answers

what should I do if an adamant bot does not handover the vehicle after multiple tries?
on some maps bots are more adamant than others, it gets really annoying especially in maps like husky, the bots wont handover the ship.

Join the vehicle at seat 2 > then press F7 F7 and as soon he moves , then press the button to take over the vehicle. Mostly they leave then.

Ok, i guess that does not work on ship, never tried.

That was great in Bf2. You could switch anytime.

1. It seems if they are under attack they dont switch position.

2. If its bots added to a qonquest map (simple) some functions might not work properly.

I play on and am concerned about simple itself as I only play here.
did it happen after the "bot upgrade"? Did bots actually get upgraded?
If yes, when exactly did they get upgraded?

Bots on rtr/sw server have been modded, they hog all the vehicles, don't respond to commands and shoot u with everything across the map. Players who modded it probably don't play there often, it's not enjoyable.

Played yesterday a round Adlernest.

I could not see any problem with the Bots.

Join a Vehicle, press F7-F7, and when it moves, press F6-F7 and press several times 1. then the Bots will bail.  (Works not always but works.)

Re: Battlefield 1942 Questions & Answers

With normal bots, you don't even have to enter a vehicle to take it over, you just say wait and bail out. But that doesn't work anymore

What's the deal with some objects disappearing before the fog? Sometimes when i'm flying, things like tanks, planes and AA guns vanish before they reach fog.

Re: Battlefield 1942 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,

I was/am a huge fan of the map Hellendoorn, loved to play it back in the day.

Can someone help explain how I can add the map and play it again? Been searching through google for a while now but just cant figure it out.

Thanks alot!

Re: Battlefield 1942 Questions & Answers

Hello,

You need to have Secret Weapons of WWII expansion pack installed and, of course, the game Battlefield 1942. You can download the expansion pack from: https://team-simple.org/download/Battle … f_WWII.zip

After that, you should update your BF1942.exe with Battlefield 1942 GameSpy patch or use Battlefield 1942 Plus.
