Some advice, when the server freezes, attach a debugger, like OllyDbg, to the server executable, and get the EIP (Instruction pointer) register value and the other register values, too. Analyzing the stack frames is also important. If the server crashes, try to enable crash dumps, so you can debug l...

You can open the start.sh script with any text editor and remove those lines. Remember that in Linux, filenames are case sensitive, so you should lower case all your BF1942 files, for example, your levels directory, which has the map files. That can be a cause for the server crashing, if the maps ar...

I tested again and the files work fine. Maybe, it crashed because he tried to run the .dynamic file, he should run the .static executable file, instead. Edit the start.sh script and remove the references to the dynamically linked binary (lines 24,25,28-31), then it will always run the .static execut...

Hi, You must overwrite the bf1942_lnxded.static and bf1942_lnxded.dynamic files with the patched files on the bf1942_lnxded-1.61-patched.tar.gz package, assuming you will run a version 1.61 server on Linux. The procedure is exactly the same as when you upgrade to version 1.61 with the bf1942-update-...

I play sometimes this game. I usually play at the server {TO} ONLY THE BEST. Unfortunately, the server is still not patched.

Fixed the GameSpyHost.dll file, which had a crash bug.

Sorry, I messed up everything. I forgot to include in the .zip file the BF1942.old and the BF1942.exe wasn't patched. Please, download again the .zip and extract BF1942.exe and BF1942.old to your Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons of WWII Demo directory, overwriting your BF1942.exe.

Good news, I've finished the patch today and it's working correctly, now. :) I've redirected the check to a BF1942.old file which is the untouched executable. This idea to redirect the check, was taken from the FAiRLiGHT patch to BF1942 retail version. Download the patched executable: BF1942SWDemo-v...

You just need to overwrite your BF1942.exe in EA Games\Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons of WWII Demo\ with the patched one from BF1942SWDemo-v1.45-patched.zip package. You should backup your original BF1942.exe as this patched executable, is incomplete, I haven't removed the check. You can put Conten...

I couldn't find today how to disable content check. I've placed the "game.serverContentCheck 0" in ServerSettings.con and it's always checking when connecting if the files BF1942.exe, objects.rfa and Hellendoorn.rfa are the same as the server. I'm guessing it's not possible to disable cont...
