149400 2003-06-04 05:30:00 i think your network card or pc or somthin cant keep up with ur game.
is it graphic intensive? relly help getting a new pc thats relly fast.
when ur playing multiplayer try using less computer players as they relly slow down the connection.
my computer crashed a few times while playing aoe.

149401 2003-06-04 06:52:00 download the latest update from the official game site first, make sure that you are running a refresh rate no more than 60 hz unless you have altered a file in the game for it to handle it. You may also be trying to login on to a server that is running a mod called DC or desert combat. Without that downloaded you won't be able to join it (good mod though). You may also have incorrectly entered your cd key. It must be original and not shared with anyone else currently online. Hope this helps. Icarus (3936)
149402 2003-06-04 20:18:00 Yes, download the update from the web page. It is usually a new update that stops the link working. Drove me nuts for a while, too.
Bots are stupid but deadly accurate and fast. An interesting combination.

149403 2003-06-04 22:13:00 whats this 60hz stuff?

i have refresh rate locked at 85hz and haven't changed anything in the game - runs fine.

no

i manually download there update from fileplanet.com (use one of there closer mirrors). latest version that im aware of is 1.31.

i dont think so

> plz i need my 1942 fix (bots have limited brain capasity)

i understand.

i would just reinstall it and see if it works. what have you changed in the last 2 days (from the time the game stopped working)?

does no body know what this is?
no offence but all 45 of the PC are set up correctly, and it has nothing to do with the monitor refresh rate
it has noting to do with corruped files, or me needing to change any hardware, and there is no new update.
i'm just wondering if there server is down (EAs Srever) the one that looks for the CD-Keys. halflife did it once

any other ideas???

149405 2003-06-05 04:27:00 I don't have the answer to your question but if you're not getting the answer at pF1 then I suggest posting at the following forums where the BF1942 NZ gaming community gathers.

Good luck.

149407 2003-06-05 04:36:00 Oh, and I connected in just to see if it was working and I had to refresh my list before I could connect to a server so there is a good chance the regular one I use is down.
Happy?
