I'm going to guess you're running the Origin version.

Check out this link and see if it helps, and kindly report back with your results:

OK COBRA make sure you are running game in comparability mode, just right click icon and put in xp service pack 3 compatability mode and see if that also helps...some players using windows 7 64 have this issues

Hey all,



Great news. We've identified the configuration error that was causing this and fixed it.



If you are still in this state there is no need to edit the registry to fix this now.



In your Origin My Games tab, right click on the game tile for BF1942 and select Repair Install.



This should resolve the issue. See you on the Battlefield!

But was it a key from your CD's? Not the provided Origin key. If you did not change it to the "CD key" you need to do so.

I guess we should make it easy for anyone who is having the same issue and comes across us talking about it in this thread.

To fix it, we had our game server provider block access on the firewall to master.gamespy.com:29910 and that solved the issue.

I understand that it can be done on the local firewall on a Linux box by running the command "iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -d 69.10.30.248 -p udp --dport 29910 -j DROP" or there are newer BF1942 server binaries made by someone in the community found here: http://team-simple.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 056#p49056




And for those searching, I'll leave keywords: BF1942 server kicks blank keyhash key hash duplicate CDKEY CD KEY Battlefield 1942 Origin client
