I expect to much from it i guess

Infantry and tanks are fun in BF1942. When I want to fly I come here.

Apart from the bad flight model the maps are just waaaaaaaay too small to fly in BF1942. You have to do figure 8s constantly just to stay within the maps boundaries.

Its a really fun game though.

ditto with curval...with the tanks and planes only...if i want to play infantry ill go play AA:O...played the demo and was amazed that my old c64 game had better flight model...as well as the fact that if you dive bombed with your 25 bombs 9on a corsair0 the bombs would hit your plane...

Clan??? Battlefield blah blah blah?? I think WW2OL is a better place to look for Clannies, or maybe everquest, or doomonline. Get out of our BBS! We are happy fighting each other!

Heh... Don't forget the image at BF42 oficial pages telling you that the Spitfire included is Mk. V and the 3D model in the game is Mk. XIV hehe... And yes flying in BF is a joke.... Even worse than WW2OL hehe...

Id be interested if you guys play DC - not too big on the box game though.

That is why after couple tries I decided not to play 1942.

Never did a follow up if it has ever been fixed GL! On your recruiting though.

D'oh! I just bought the game and I'me getting the same behavior. Wish someone knew what the fix was. I'm going to play around with it tonight to get it to work, but it sure is frustrating when you buy a game and right out of the box, it won't boot up because of some hardware incompatibility.

banana,

I had the same problem and never got a resolution until I updated my video card. Check the message boards at EA.com..lots of guys have the same thing happening.

Ya i downloaded the game 2 nights ago with my new video card installed, it worked without a problem.

As Curval said check their BBS, i also believe that you have to change a number in one of the word documents that is located in the game folder.
Sorry but i just cant remeber where it was

Curval, you mean my 128 MB Ti-4400 is already not good enough to run a bleeping game?!

Is it just the Nvidia chipset that's the problem, perhaps?

Well, thanks for the tip...I'll go start reading and see what I can come up with.

LOL...banana, I dunno man. I have the Nvidia GEForce 4 T14600 64MDDR and I still have a problem with it in this game - this is the UPDATED card to which I refer....I have the "flickering video" issue that doesn't seem to be resolved yet. I am forced to set all my settings to the lowest video quality until the problem "goes away" and then I ratchet up my video settings to where I want them...all the while hitting "esc" to the settings page and then "esc" again to get back into the game to stop the flicker.

It is a great game...but it is also an EA game. No support, no efforts made to help..you gotta rely on some pimply faced 14 year old on the boards.

In this regard it is very much like WW2 OL.

Yeah, I know whatcha mean. I've been reading some forums about BF1942 problems, and it seems that I have a lot of company!

There are some people having luck with a couple different tweaks, so I'll give them a try tonight.
