BF1942 install by screaming eagle

Post by screaming_eagle »

Gents,
These are the steps I used to do a fresh BF1942 install. If you don't have these specific files in bold I can upload on someone's dropbox or I can upload them to the forum if someone gives me instructions/permissions.

Uninstall any previous install and mods and run a registry cleaner prior to this. I found out the hard way!

I am running BF1942 on a Win7 machine. All o/s updates and service packs installed.

Assume you have the CD's like me here's the steps:
1. Install Disk 1. No Gamespy, Enter your registration code.
2. Install Disk 2. No punkbuster installs at this point.
Now Install patches (1.6 and 1.61b)
4. Install patch 1.6.19 battlefield_1942_patch_v1.6.19. This Includes punkbuster
5. Install incremental patch 1.61b battlefield_1942_incremental_patch_v1.6_to_v1.61b
6. Navigate to " C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942 and delete the subfolder "pb"
7. Install PB_Update_BF1942.exe made by Flüstertüte
8. Install No CD patch v1.61b cracked (to run without CD in drive)
9. Install Desert Combat .07 Full Install Mod
8. Install DC_Final_Client Mod
9. Run all .exe’s as Administrator
Righ click on .exe's and Go to> Properties> Compatibility Tab> Run in compatibility mode for Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5. Then on the Privlege Level Tab > Check Run this program as administrator

Hope this helps. Worked like a charm for me.
