Acer Aspire One netbook & bf1942
Acer Aspire One netbook & bf1942
I just picked up this little Acer Aspire One AOA110 lappers from work for $50 & bf 1942 doesn't seem to load on it. When i go to start bf the game starts up like theres an incorrectly named or corrupt map. It doesn't crash, give any message... just doesn't load anything, like ive got a corrupted map. Any ideas... anyone?

mine has an 8gb SSD drive & 1.5GB RAM running clean install of windows xp pro w/ sp3, all drivers are current & directx 9.0c. ive tried it with a no-cd crack & without with same result & YES i have a legit original copy of the game.
Id be great to be able to code while at the pub

Re: Acer Aspire One netbook & bf1942
you could try start the game with the debugger, with a little luck it reports something instead of just shutting down
Re: Acer Aspire One netbook & bf1942
is it a fresh install from disk? :/

windows xp pro
Xp pro mean its 64bit?
WELL THURS YER PORBLEM
if it is indeed 64 bit,alot of times that will cause problems with the game,although they vary

Good call on the debugger! Although the spillout doesn't seem to give any answers to me. The spillout is very small & here it is.

This is where the game starts to unload...meaning the problem somehow lies in the init.con of Mods/bf1942.con, or more precisely: The inability of your laptop to read out this file for whatever reason...Engine\Io\Console.cpp(1769): Debug: Io: CRC32: (run) Mods/bf1942/init.con

The geometry template deleteAll message in the logs don't mean much. It says that in all the logs on a succesfull load or not, so just ignore it.
More then likely BF1942 won't work with the graphics card on that laptop. It could also be that there is no CD Drive and the game CTDs trying to access a non existent drive.
My sister owns this very same laptop and I tried to get BF1942 to run on it....Exact same problem that you have.

Re: Acer Aspire One netbook & bf1942
alright i got it running. lightspeed is right. the no-cd patch is the problem. tried a an image with daemon tools also ... didn't work either. bf only seems to run on this hunk of junk w/ the original cds in an external cd drive. bf is pretty laggy on this thing too. too bad... it would have been nice to sit at the pub & code.
