232399 2004-04-27 10:14:00 Hey guys... this is probably too specialist for you guys but if you have had this problem then you might be able to help me...

When I click on BF1942 or Desert Combat the black loading window comes up but only for like a second then it buggers off and forgets all about loading BF...

Its BF1942 patched to 1.6.19 and DC 0.7...

I have tried cloning the disks and mounting them with various cd emulators aswell as having the CD in the drive but to no avail....

Any ideas?

Cheers.

232400 2004-04-27 11:44:00 Not knowing your operating system or Video card (and driver version) there are a couple of things which may help.

The nVidia driver > 53.03 fixes a rendering problem with BF1942 Desert Combat.

WinXP + SP1 doesn't include the Indeo Video Codecs. This will cause some games to crash during the intro video or any cutscenes. You can download the patch (this includes the missing codecs) from the Microsoft update site.

232401 2004-04-27 12:04:00 Cool, thanks for your help...

I got the nvidia drivers installed and I'm using Windows 2000... <whisper>its far better than xp</whisper>

I tried CloneCD's emulator and it worked... well I now have the disc image mounted twice so that might have helped... ;)

Cheers.

232402 2004-04-27 12:10:00 Are you starting the game from a desktop shortcut or from All Seeing Eye or similar?

If you haven't already, add +restart 1 to the desktop shortcut target to stop the front end EA logo, Dice logo and intro movie playing.

Here is a link (eatech.custhelp.com nBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9JnBfc2VhcmNoX3R5cGU9MyZwX3Byb2R fbHZsMT0zODQmcF9wcm9kX2x2bDI9fmFueX4mcF9jYXRfbHZsM T1_YW55fiZwX2NhdF9sdmwyPX5hbnl_JnBfc2NmX2ZhcXMqYyR wbGF0Zm9ybT0xODImcF9zb3J0X2J5PWRmbHQmcF9wYWdlPTE*&p_li=) to a possible fix.
