Hello, I have BF1942 and RtR. Today I updated to patch 1.31 and the game crashes to desktop. I could play the campaign of the original BF1942 but thats it. If I try to play RtR, it crashes to desktop. As a matter of fact, I cant play any custom game because it always crashes to desktop, without any error message. I click custom game, choose the game, hit activate, and go to desktop.


Ive played the game successfully a while back but now it wont work (havent played in a while).


Also, why does the BatteField 1942_EZ info show incorrect info? It says Im on DirectX 8.1 when Im on 9 and it says my processor does not meet minimum rewuirements, which it does.


Here are my system specs:


------------------
System Information
------------------
Operating System: Windows 2000 Professional (5.0, Build 2195) Service Pack 2
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.4GHz
Memory: 256MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0 (4.09.0000.0900)


---------------

---------------
Card name: NVIDIA Dualview
Chip type: GeForce4 Ti 4200
Display Memory: 64.0 MB
Current Mode: 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (75Hz)
Driver Name: nv4_disp.dll
Driver Version: 6.13.0010.4104 (English)

This seems to be a common problem. Hopefully EA will fix it soon.


Any help is greatly appreciated.


If you need more info let me know.


P.S. I changed the 0 to a 1 in VideoDefault.con and it didnt help
 
Be glad that it crashes to desktop, on mine it just goes black, and i have to 'hard' reboot, ie hitting the switch on the back of the puter.

    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.

    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:

    Weekend went by too fast. Next weekend I am going to try to do a nature thing - buddy of mine lives by the Colorado river and has some kayaks and invited me to do some kayaking from a place he knows to get on the river.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    That sounds like an adventure.
