Battlefield 1942 problem

[Talus_1]

This is a very common problem (I think) to people who have been upgrading and cracking incrementally.

What I recommend you do is to completely uninstall and start over. Install BF1942, then Road to Rome, then SWoWWII from the CDs. That will get you to version uncracked 1.45. From here, I recommend that you upgrade to version 1.6. Then, install the 1.6 no CD.

So the whole issue with BF1942 seems to be if you patch and then crack each step of the way...some files tend to get messed up. I have had this problem personally and doing it like I described above seems to have worked very well in the past.

The other option is to make an image of disc 1 or disc 2 of the original BF1942 (using Alcohol or something similar with error messages off) and shrink that image using MiR (mini-image ripper) down to 40MB. Then load that image onto a virtual drive using Alcohol or Daemon Tools. You might be able to find somebody who is hosting that 40MB file (but that may be considered illegal software distribution). This way running, with an image, no cracks are EVER needed. This is the method I personally am using atm.

Hope it helps!
