Boy did I screw up.....
I saved my maps in a folder to the Desktop (that's good)
thought a clean NEW install would be good and uninstalled the game. (thats bad)
Tried to reinstall from my discs and reached a snag at Disc 2
IT says it cannot read a file needed to begin running Disc 2
Is there a Safe place to just download the basic game again?
Everyone on the New Maps servers knows my Dad, Errorproned...what they don't know is how mad he is at me!
DJ Adler, you can download just the game without any expansion packs or custom maps from https://team-simple.org/download/Battlefield_1942.zip
Then, you need to run Battlefield 1942 GameSpy patch to be able to update the server lists inside the game.
Ahh that worked pretty well. thanks!
Strange side note: I can only see the 4 Simple servers now
Download and extract the latest BF1942 executable and overwrite BF1942.exe file in your Battlefield 1942 directory, or just run Battlefield 1942 GameSpy patch, which will do that automatically. Now, clicking the Update button in-game will retrieve the servers list.
the Game Spy patch did the trick..THANK YOU
Anyone know where I can get the Essen, Helendorn, Gothic, Kebley, group of maps?
Tuia,
Can /download/Battlefield_1942.zip be made to include the patched executable so only one install is needed?
Anyone know where I can get the Essen, Helendorn, Gothic, Kebley, group of maps?
Those maps Essen, Hellendorn, etc. are from Secret Weapons of WW2 expansion pack. You can download the Battlefield 1942 expansion packs from:
https://team-simple.org/download/Battle … o_Rome.zip
https://team-simple.org/download/Battle … f_WWII.zip
Mind that, you must run the Battlefield GameSpy patch, or replace BF1942.exe with the latest BF1942 executable, after you install every expansion pack, because each expansion pack installer mistakenly replaces the BF1942.exe with an outdated one. That will be corrected in due time.
Yes, of course. It should have been already updated, but it will be in the next days.
That would be awesome. I feel like it could help in bringing in new players. Sadly many people are turned off as soon as they find out a manual patch is necessary. The easier the process between downloading and playing the better.
henks datafield.
henks datafield.
That would be great. Datafield is the future, especially if people would start using direct server-client map send feature
