| 179975 | 2003-10-03 02:47:00 | A Battlefield 1942 server on 56k! (Bruce drops to floor laughing, wipes tears of mirth from his eyes). Xtra has(had?) a whole bunch of servers too last time I played. Not on 56K, obviously ..... |

| 179978 | 2003-10-03 04:51:00 | BF1942 is bad enough to play when you're using a 56k connection. Hosting a server on a 56K is not even worth thinking about. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 179979 | 2003-10-03 05:12:00 | Use something like the-all-seeing-eye. Its great, it can pick out the servers in your location only and supports justabout every online game. I use it all the time. By the way, I'm running a Athlon 1.1Ghz, 384Mb SD-RAM pc133, GF4mx440 64Mb. Battlefield play is absolutely terrible, even at the lowest resolutions... it jerks around and isn't very fluid. Anyone know a solution? |

| 179980 | 2003-10-03 05:52:00 | I've played it online (over a fast connection) with a P4 2GHz, 768MB RAM and GF4 MX 440 64MB and it is fine. I'd say a better video card might help but your 1.1GHz CPU is probably holding it back the most. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 179981 | 2003-10-03 06:08:00 | Turn off everything running in the background before playing. Upgrade videocard to a proper one (not one of those pretend cards intended for OEM builders to make bigger profit margins on like you have). BF1942 is very ram intensive (half a gig minimum IMHO) so more ram. Upgrade Chipset drivers for the motherboard. A fixed size swapfile might help a bit to (512mb min and max should be fine). Cacheman may help a little to (up the cache sizes). Any overclocking you can get away with (up the FSB (to say 140-145 mhz)) will help a bit. FSB is all when it comes to speed boosts in games. Overclocking your vidcard might help a bit although thats not a good vidcard to start with but Powerstrip is fantastic for the job. And finally disable every windows feature/extra/helper program you can. |
