Map Not Found error

[wicky35]

Hello,

I love battlefield 1942 and use to play the game as a tech fixing computers in a local shop. So I recently purchased the game and started playing online only to see this error: "Map not found" everytime I try to connect to a game. After about 20 tries I get in but its a huge pain in the ass and if it continues I probably will uninstall and thats it and won't purchase BF2. Never had this much trouble connecting in my life. I even disabled my firewall and still the same.

Specs of machine:

Athon thoroughbred 2400+
MSI KN7 MB Nvidia2 chipset
Nvidia Geforce3 Graphics card
512mb memory
2 20gig HD's
DirectX 9.0c
Windows XP Pro

I have seen others have this problem in forums but no solution yet. Please help?

Thanks!

Robb

I have this also sometimes but only at maps which you need to download, try to connect to regular maps like omaha beach, operation battleaxe, bocage etc.

The "Map Not Found" error is a common error that pops up when you can't connect to the server. THis can be a problem with the server itself, or your internet connection.

That usually happens when the map is corrupt or installed the wrong way.
