FIX TO CRASH TO DESKTOP DURING LOADING PROBLEM

- Remove all startup programs, that are non-essential (you can judge), except for ScanRegistry, Taskmonitor, System Tray, any antivirus software (you can be the judge), Explorer. To do this, go to:

START => RUN => msconfig (type that in)

Then go to the startup tab (the last one) and deselect the apps that you want.

- Close all antivirus software while downloading and installing new patches and or reinstalling the game. Get patches here: http://www.eagames.com/official/batt...sp?state=01010

- Close all antivirus software when downloading and installing new drivers.
BTW you must update you drivers to play new patched up versions of the game. Basic rule of thumb, new patch = new drivers. You might even need to get a new version of Direct X. Get the most recent ones. Here are the major places you can get them at:

ATI cards: http://mirror.ati.com/support/driver.html
NVIDIA cards: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
DIRECT X: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dir...ds/default.htm

- Refresh rate fix: go to => [Drive letter]

...\BattleField1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings and change the videodefault.con file into a text file by changing the .con part to .txt. The last line in the text will be "renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0" change it to "renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1" if need too!

- If all else fails you can change the first line in the videodefaul.con file from "renderer.setFullScreen 1" to "renderer.setFullScreen 0" which will give you a error message that you can read instead of just no messaged crash to desktop

Hope this helps!

DISCONNECTION FIX

- The only thing I had to do to fix this for miself was getting a great program called "All seeing eye". Get it here: http://www.udpsoft.com/eye2/index.html

Your welcome guys and happy gaming! If anything here needs more explaining you can post a message or pm me or something ok.
