BF1942 quitting all the time?

    Anyone come across this, or how to fix it? Doesn't happen on my own PC, but on my brothers and one of the lads too. BF1942 all loads up fine etc, and then when they go to load a level it just quits to windows.
    DX8.1 is installed, one of em using Win2K/GF2MX the other using 98/GF2GTS.

    Any ideas?

    I haven't seen this happen but there is a retail 1.1 update, if that isn't the version on the cd. Obviously the video drivers are the next thing, get the latest nvidia drivers and install them. See that happens then.

    Actually, I find that the recent Nvidia 40.41 drivers (on windows 2000) cause BF 1942 to continually crash back to the desktop. I downgraded to older drivers (32.something) and it seems to be working fine.

    I think I've narrowed down the problem a bit in my case - it seems BF1942 does not like those refresh rate forcer apps that I was using to push up the D3D/OpenGL refresh rate in win2k. Installing the older drivers just undid the changes the app made.

    Bleh. Downloading 40.71's now- bloody hell 14mb.

    I got the new dets. 40.71. Im getting this weird startup message 'Unable to access location in memory' . The single player demo works fine..but the multiplayer wont even load. It just pops straight back to windows after loading the .exe

    Plus with the new dets, all my refresh rates are belong to 60hz :(

    Running 2k/XP? Get the "Windows 2000/XP NVidia Refresh Rate Fix" from Guru3d.com. It's in Videocard Utilities\Generic Tools. There's other progs that do the same thing, but this one worked well for me with the minimum of fuss.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,642 ✭✭✭Dazzer

    did u try the refresh fix for win2k/XP?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭Kairo


    That refresh rate fix is a load of bollox. Firstly , It doesnt actually work with the new dets, and secondly..it seems to have some problem with my monitor, refusing to even load in the first place.

    I had a seperate refresh rate fix proggie, but its useless now.
    Switched back to the old dets. Refresh rate is grand, but BF multiplayer demo still wont run.

    I doubht you have the patch so. It fixes the refresh rate lock you have to change a setting in one of the text files.

    Patch for what exactly? I have the BF1942 patch, and the latest Dets..and the refresh rate lock doesnt just effect BF..it effects ALL games. Pray tell, what is this text file you speak off?

    I tried the refresh fixes for Win2k from guru3d.com and I still can't get the refresh problem sorted. So I think I'll just wait until they patch it. At least it's not crashing for me.
