EA 117 Gaming Community

Two places that profile could potentially still be coming from: The Battlefield 1942 game itself has some "what if I'm not running as an administrator" support that alternatively reads and writes the profile information to the Documents folder, instead of trying to write to the "C:\Pr...

Yeah, we didn't intend for things to go on for this long without having a helpful .EXE-based installer to recommend using. Nothing to do with the replacement master server itself, but there have continued to be issues raised which delay getting both the patch itself and the installer for the patch &...

We've been glad to have you in here!
You came highly recommended by other [BOP] like Tona and Spin.
But I'm sure you're actually an okay person despite this.

Sure thing, Mofo. Note that it's Henk/Arkyliën who put the replacement service up . The server owner community is then also working together to setup a DNS name which will be used for this or any other replacement master server we need to create in the future. Such that ideally, once we patch an .EX...

A replacement master server is being setup as master.bf1942.org , and is currently online. Updated BF1942.EXE replacements which use this new DNS name instead of the previous "master.bf1942.sk" DNS name are in development and will be available soon. Anyone who wants to begin using the new...

Unfortunately, we have confirmation that the current master server has been intentionally shut down by its owner, and will not be recovered or placed under new ownership. We are still making an effort to determine whether the current DNS name can be brought under control of the Battlefield 1942 ser...

Updated March 13, 2022: A recommended BF1942.EXE patch is now available to deal with the recent AX master server shutdown. Please visit http://ea117.com/gamespy to obtain the patch and for information about the patch. The AX master.bf1942.sk replacement master server for Battlelfield 1942 is curren...

link= is a custom button code they put on here many moons ago. It's what's used in the "Downloads"-type posts giving you a button to push to download. Putting in a normal hyperlink is using the "chain link" icon, not "link=". When you hover over it, it says "Insert...

Played Commodore 64 games ( Asylum , Beach Head ) while using it to learn programming. Later had a PC and played Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Doom II, Quake, etc., when they all initially came out. Also remember playing Syndicate quite a bit. Still had my Wolfenstein 3D and Doom 3.5" floppy disks from...

Just really strange that an "unintentional block" is somehow singling you out, versus everyone else who is still successfully connecting to the server. Finally realized what was unique about your connection attempts that failed vs. other "normal" attempts. Without going into det...

That's weird... it's our problem. I see both your game traffic (UDP 14567) and query traffic (UDP 23000) inbound, but our server never responds to it. Which the game itself wouldn't be doing that, so it does mean the firewall is doing that for some reason. And not OVH's firewall or our ISP's firewal...

Indeed, the LAN trace confirms the server responding to your game client immediately upon the very first packet. As we would expect for the server not having your address blocked or anything like that. Are you maybe "sometimes" also using a VPN on this machine for other purposes? As descri...

What happens if you manually "Add Server" and type in 51.81.48.241 or dc.ea117.com and then use the "Join" button to connect, without relying on the server to show up in the list? That will be testing the difference between "I can't connect" versus "I just can't g...

Hey zanshin, If you're trying to play from the same machine / same IP address where you posted this message from, everything seems like it should already be enabled for you to connect. If you actually posted from your phone or some other machine, go to the machine you're actually going to play from ...

Our server host confirms that these service windows have been successfully completed.

No worries. "Text looks crappy except at one specific resolution" is a common Battlefield 1942 complaint, so when you were talking about "how text looked" while playing the game, naturally went to one assumption rather than the other. For Windows itself, it would seem very unusua...

Looks like we're doing it again: This time the upgrade is out at the edge routers, rather than the internal networking fabric. The datacenter our Desert Combat server is hosted in will be performing network-related changes next week starting at 10:00pm Monday, December 20, 2021 US Central Time for ...

This is what the Battlefield chat text looks like in 1080p for me. Note it's a full 1920x1080 lossless PNG screen shot, so make sure you're viewing it at 100%.

We have been notified that this maintenance is now complete.

Just to update: The fix I performed did not hold. After about three weeks, it was back to saying the HDMI ports could not connect. So I went ahead and pulled the main board out and sent it to a local repair shop. They don't disclose what they did or how easy it was to fix, but based on the symptoms ...

Yes, it's never gone anywhere. Use the "forgot my password" option if you don't remember the password.

The only reason web site accounts become locked is due to behavior here on the web site.

And yet only 47 days since you last played here. But to answer your question, no. We could stand on principle that all bans for hacking are permanent. But it's really your repeated lying and then doubling-down on the lying after we already caught you that seals the deal. Never mind the personal atta...

Nice that you have a hobby to keep you busy in retirement.

The datacenter our Desert Combat server is hosted in will be performing network-related changes tomorrow starting at 7:00pm Wednesday, December 8, 2021 US Central Time for a maintenance window expected to last around three (3) hours, and again at 7:00pm Thursday, December 9, 2021 US Central Time fo...
