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.
for Battlelfield 1942 is currently down.
You may notice that running Battlefield 1942 and trying to use the in-game mutiplayer server list "hangs" and is non-responsive. This is because the AX master.bf1942.sk master server for Battielfield 1942 is currently offline.
There is no confirmation or information at this time as to whether it's just a temporary hosting hiccup, or a persistent condition that will remain.
If you have not already done so, you may still benefit from installing the patch provided at http://ea117.com/gamespy, if you had not already done so previously or as part of http://ea117.com/dcinstall.
Even though this patch continues to try and use master.bf1942.sk, and that master server is still unresponsive currently, this patch also reduces the timeout that you will experience whenever the master server is unreachable, for whatever reason.
If you are experiencing a seemingly indefinite hang within Battlefield 1942 that doesn't return control to you after 20 seconds or so, applying the patch now can help improve this situation for you until a master server is back online.
