Patch 1.6.19 Full [edit]

Incremental Patch 1.6.19 -> 1.61b [edit]

Windows 8/10 compatibility [edit]

Online play support [edit]

After the shutdown of GameSpy, the community set up a new master server to keep the server browser functional.
Either download a modified executable or edit the hosts file to restore online functionality.

Edit hosts file[8]
  1. Go to %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\.
  2. Open hosts with an editor like Notepad.
  3. Add the line 94.23.196.155 master.gamespy.com and save the file.

Notes

This will break online fixes for other GameSpy games that rely on the same method.

PunkBuster updates [edit]

The Origin version doesn't contain or support PunkBuster.

Support for the anti-cheat software PunkBuster in BF1942 has been discontinued by Evenbalance. Most servers do not have it enabled anymore,
as such it is recommended to move the contents of <path-to-game>/pb/ to a backup folder, to avoid any disconnects by its service.
If an up to date version is required however, follow the steps below.

Update PunkBuster manually[6]
Make sure the PunkBuster service is installed and working properly by using the PunkBuster Service Installer (pbsvc). A reboot is required if it is installed for the first time.
  1. Download the PunkBuster files.
  2. Extract the contents to <path-to-game>/pb/, overwriting any older files.
  3. Enable PunkBuster in-game in the lower left corner of the server browser.

Skip intro videos [edit]

Launch the game with +restart 1 parameter[6]
Modify intro video files[6]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Movies\
  2. Delete or rename the files Dice.bik, EA.bik, Intro.bik and Legal.bik.

  2. Open VideoDefault.con with a text editor.
  3. Edit the line renderer.fieldOfView with a new value.
1 - 4:3 (default) 1.33333 - 16:9 1.75 - 21:9 1.2 - 16:10 1.25 - 15:9
