Fix for BF1942 crashing on start

[Njoroge]

Some ppl simply cannot start the game without it instantly binning back to windows. This is the fix.


%GAME_DIR%\Mods\bf1942\Settings\VideoDefault.con

Change the last line to
renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1

omg i was trying to find this fix all weekend, fixed by forcing 800x600 @ 60hz, but 60hz hurts my eye after a while, thx nj for the heads up :)

This problem occurs, i believe, if you have a refresh rate fix installed for 2k/xp machines as BF1942 has the fis built in.

Hmmm, I wonder if this fix is for me, doesn't sound like it.

After playing bf1942 all weekend at i15 and not having a single problem, when I have msn messenger voice active on my SB Live soundcard it throws me back to the desktop every time. I only fitted the Live card to drive my headphones better cuz the onboard creative chip couldn't drive a feather in the wind.


Any ideas guys ?

Oh yeah , running a Radeon 9700 Pro but as i said, i don't think it's video probs as it seems to be soundcard related

msn messenger voice? EH?! As in the program you use for comms?! If so download TeamSpeak and set up a server somewhere TeamSpeak homepage (http://www.teamspeak.org) it is an excellent bit of kit and works well even on a 14.4kbs connection (yes ive tried). It works fine with BF and MPUK clan never have any rouble with it.

Talk to NJ more about the server side stuff. If this aint what your on about then i do know :P:
