After ONE DAY of playing BF1942, need Some Help..............

[thatsright]

Okay, I just installed BF1942 Deluxe and I could use some help with a few things:

1. How do I stop the Startup Video from playing ALL the time after I click on the BF1942 icon to start the game? Is there a Menu Setting to disable the video, or would I need to edit a file to make this happen?

2. Can I play the game in 1280X1024 resolution, or am I just limited to 1280X960 format?? If this is possible, how do I edit the BF files?

3. How do I modify, change the Multi-player Server Filters?? Anyone know of a link that explains this? I would like to use a filter when looking for a server, but there really isn't anything in the manual that explains this....

Thanks guys.

1. add "+restart 1" to the end of the command line in the shortcut properties

2. i don't think you can

3. You mean like the filters in counter-strike? the only filters ive used are the ones on top of the list. i dont think theres more specific ones.

Thanks for the Tips.

For the Filters, in BF1942 when you search for servers, above there is a bar for 'FILTERS.' But there is no drop-down menu to select which filters you want. It seems like you have to manually key them in. But I have no idea of what I would have to type in, or what available filters there are for the BF1942 Multi player servers?

Any idea?

if your looking for a specific map you can just type in the first few words on the top and it'll only search for those. tryout berlin 🙂

Click here.

right click on the shortcut and place it in the target line

Or just delete the videos from your harddrive, saves space.

4. ALSO, why do the MAPS take Sooooo long to load. At least anywhere from 1-2 minutes to join a game. I have a very fast PC, so I'm not sure if there is a setting I can enable in the game or in XP to really, really speed up the map load times. I used Diskeeper to defrag the drive right after install.

This is what I have: P4 3.0c, ABIT IC7, 1GB of PC3500 Kingston Hyper X @ 2-2-2-5, Installed on a WD 120GB 8MB Cache, Radeon 9700 Non-Pro, SB Audigy 2 ZS.

Is there a memory setting I could change in XP? Anyone know what I should/Could do to speed up the load times.

get a raptor... 😛 😉 jk...

yeah it takes a while especially if you have all the eye candy turned on... i have an AMD 3200+... 1GB PC3200... 2 Raptors in RAID... and a 9700 Pro... still takes a while. 🙁

i have pretty much the same setup as you, and it takes about 1 minute on average, the maps are big, really big....i think its pretty average

was gonna say ram, but u have that. doesn't take two minutes for me, 1 min max and thats for desert combat maps which are bigger. plain 1942 doesn't take long.. dunno why. i just have 80gb 7200rpm, vanilla generic pc 2700, and 1800@2.4ghz xp.. game eats over 512mb easy, over 700+ on desert combat.

any wayt o skip the ea and other cr@p logos on all ea games? annoying as hell.

and also annoying how server lists don't save..and filters don't stay set😛
