Lo all.
has anyone got a fix to run bf1942 in eyefinity or nvidia surround?
i know there was a matroxfixfor triplehead and i've tried that but it dosent work as it used customdrivers for older cards.
It will run at 6081x1200 but is just stretched accross the 3 monitors,

I just found this on youtube:

So did this work in the past?

looks like it worked in th2go but i never managed to get it working with ati eyefinity. it would do the 6000x1200 but was simply stretched.
i couldnt get the fov anywhere near so was unplayable.

might give it another go on nvidia when i get chance. but it looks like we need dopefish to add bf42 to the widescreen fixer

I just spent the weekend playing 1942, still the best of the battlefield series in my opinion. I can only hope someone with the skills to make a fix gets the urge to play again :)

also looking for a fix for this....still best in series so far,still loads of full servers.


Anyone try and look into this.....i have to run it in windowed mode and its a pain in the ass.

Plz someone look into this

since the last entry I made here , I have noticed that when using those widscreen hacks or other nocd cracks, I get "data differs from server" all the time.
I have an old XP computer and a new with windows 7 in it. The only way to play multiplayer in LAN is to have original bf1942 on both computers. I have tried all ways of finding a solution, that people shared on internet.
Installed both computers with the same game disc, and with different original discs.
Turned of all firewalls and anti virus.
Turned of MSN.
Used the same patches exactly on both computers.
Tried all patches from 1.5 and abowe.

The thing is that two years ago we had a retroLAN and it worked perfectly playing bf1942 with the widescreenhack (not on a dedicated server though).

Is it windows 7 that causing this now?

Would be happy for any answers, since we having a new retroLAN very soon. And it sucks to play without the widescreen hack.

i did get it working, but not properly as the sky and ground were constantly turning off/ on every second or 2. So not playable. That was with nvidia cards this time instead of ati.
i think part of the issues is that drivers have changed so much since the thgo fix.

I might try it again now that i have recently done a clean install

this works for me, just copy the file to the right place, start the game and select resolution. Menues look normal and the fov ingame is correct. running it in nvidia surround with 3x4:3 lcd. Running 1.61 btw.

Here is the files: the link

Thanks psychoticus!

This is a classic game and I still play it regularly. Hopefully we can get a fix put into widescreen fixer.

That link works for me. It only allows me to use 2400 x 600 and there are no other options. I have tried to manually enter a higher resolution in the video.con files, but i didn't have any luck with that.
Is there any way to fix this to run at a higher res?
