Battlefield 1942 FREE on Origin!

tuia · 2012-11-07 00:31:30

I played a little bit in BF1942 Origin and it's a new experience, probably similar to when BF1942 was released back in 2002. Lots of new players, crowded servers with non-modded maps and no admins present.
EA did a wrong move on purpose, which is to make original disc-based version incompatible with the new version. They could at least have released a client update to v1.612. I'll try to make a client patch, but don't think it will be easy.

that just means you cant download it anymore but the servers will be still up then right?
I really hope so because otherwise it would be totally shit.

I think they will probably charge some small fee for BF1942 download from 2013-03-01, but they state that "online service for this title may be discontinued and is not guaranteed", which is of course not pleasant to know. They can shut down GameSpy services for BF1942, and no more master server list.

I set up my own dedicated 1.612 Origin server today with the same mods and settings as my 1.61 server

.... it was full after four maps / 75 minutes ... awesome !

s[sk] · 2012-11-07 01:54:22

i wish they would disable that voting crap and set rounds per map to 1

Lecter · 2012-11-07 02:16:23

yes, that voting crap really pisses me off

Alvarez-Latino · 2012-11-07 10:21:39

i didnt search but i suppose they didnt took effort to make this lol

Dudeck · 2012-11-07 23:40:36

Nope, he's sitting here 24/7, because he doesn't have any friends (guess why).

I hope to play on weekend, I wanna travel in time back to 2002 and see THIS (link), because I just can't believe!

Should I release to the masses the patched server file?

hi!

is the 128slotV1612 released? i can't find it...
but i found your great work against the exploits!

for administration can i use the 128slot remote manager from 1.61 or
does it need a new version for 1.612?

is it possible to make patch that 1.61 (cd owner) and 1.612 user (dl version)
can play together on one server?
grabbi told me that the 1.612 is nearly 1.61 they just change some lines...

tuia · 2012-11-10 13:09:14

Hi PsychoDad,

I will release 128 players server file for v1.612, today or tomorrow. I think there is no problem using BFServerManager with the new version, I haven't tested it, yet. However, keep in mind that BFServerManager is not completely patched for more than 64 players, there are still some checks and limitations, which haven't been changed, because it's boresome and I don't have the skill and time to finish it. BFServerManager works fine up to 64 players, when over 64 it may crash and with 80 players or more it crashes.
I've been examining the client executable code and trying to make a client v1.61 to connect to a server v1.612, but little progress. I could make the connection, but then it fails because of the initial "data differs from server" check.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X · 2012-11-10 16:46:39

Awesome ! Tuia ... I will try and use it on my server as soon as you release it. I'll probably run between 66 and 70 slots.

The CPU in my server is a 3770K and total CPU usage with 64 players is only 3 % .... So if it crashes it probably won't be due to lack of horsepower.

tuia · 2012-11-10 17:15:49

Let me rephrase it again, the server itself doesn't crash with much more than 64 players. I believe it can go to 128 players without a hitch. The record is 91 players and it was stable. It's BFServerManager that crashes when more than 80 players.

List of problems i had:
-can't log in with facebook to download origin
-can't install origin
-can't launch origin
-can't log in to origin
-can't open main window of origin
-can't go to online mode

To sum up - 5 hours of messing up with this shit. But it finally works

you can have both versions installed at once

bud · 2012-11-10 20:46:42

This new version really needs a widescreen patch. Its hard to get back to "small screen" so i prefer to play the old bf1942. Its crazy tho, i made a server just for testing out stuff with this new version, and a few minutes later the server was full.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X · 2012-11-11 04:55:01

For those of you with weak PCs ... : Origin can be turned off completely once BF1942 has loaded ... It won't affect the game in any way, and will free some resources.

the japanese find out the "border" with try and error and now they run with 72 slots.
what i see about crashes is yesterday our v1.612 servers crashes more than 4 times. unbeliveble. and they were only 25 people on it.
our mainserver crashes maybe one time in a month.

however. have a nice weekend!

gianni_capo · 2012-11-11 17:44:24

Gracias tuia me lo he descargado y me encontre un server brasilero con 64 personas lleno todos los dias con 90 de ping!!!!!!!!!!
gracias

anyone running origin server with bfsm?
can you see keyhashes in bfsm?

i'm not sure whether this is some incompatibility with this new origin version or i've just messed up something but the whole ban subsystem is useless because bfsm adds bans without keyhashes

thanks

bud · 2012-11-11 20:27:01

yeah i use bfsm, its pretty useless with the new server seems it doesn´t restart if the server crashes and as you say its not picking up any keyhashes.
