Re: Iphone running out of room
Wish I could help you Sanchez, but I don't own any Apple devices to say what their options are or how you would ensure what will happen, or what specific action to invoke to get that result.

Re: This server is awesome
I agree that EA117 has always been, or has at least tried to be, a place where the great community rivals the greatness of the game. Which is why we were more than happy to carry on providing what the original founders had built. Thank you to everyone who comes here looking to enjoy playing Desert C...

Well that's too bad... would have been nice to have you join us up here in the 21st century. 😜 Hopefully Windows 7 is able to continue for as long as you need it.

What's the latest and greatest for Win10 DC installs? I've never used anything different than http://ea117.com/dcinstall, but that's because I have my CDs / ISOs of my CDs.

I think Win 11 is rolling out sometime soon isn't it? Happened on October 5th. You can download Windows 11 just like you can download Windows 10 with the link I mentioned to Blink. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 Does not require a unique license key; whatever key you us...

Re: Should I switch to Windows 10?
100% of the licenses on my personal machines are simply the OEM sticker and/or the embedded SMBIOS key, since upgrade to Windows 10 was possible for free even if the machine hadn't been purchased with Windows 10. I did pay full retail for a key when taking my wife's laptops from Windows 10 Home to W...

Re: Should I switch to Windows 10?
I would go Windows 10 without even thinking twice, but that's certainly not the consensus you would get from a wider poll. People are old and farty about their Windows preference just like they are about anything else, and will give you a whole list of reasons why they don't think you should do it. ...

Re: Enlisted
Guess it will come down to the gameplay. "Oooh, another World War I / World War II game" doesn't immediately resonate for me, anyway. But I don't play vanilla BF1942 any more, either. Not sure what the "always hundreds of people on the battlefield" (whether real people or AI) wil...

Jolly Giada wanted to let everyone know he's anxious to get back here and play. Just some temporary wrist and health issues keeping him away after the last EA117 server event.

Re: Current Map Rotation
I just mean that they would be grouped together like that. Similar to how -- right now -- at the very end of the map list, we always have the COOP-mode maps grouped together. You vote to one of the COOP maps, and you end up playing COOP map after COOP map until you "vote out of that block"...
