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".

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. smile

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.
