BF1942 Help

Well my BF1942 doesnt wanna work. A while ago at the opening screen, I tried to click on another user profile I have. Well I clicked on it but froze my game up. I reinstalled the game, and without the patch the game worked fine, but as soon as I installed the 1.5 patch again the mouse pointer gets stuck in the same spot. Also, my user profiles seem to have saved over from when I uninstalled the game. Also, the opening clip and EA artwork has no sound to it. I have installed DirectX 9 to no avail as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Try reinstalling an updated version of your sounds drivers. Sometimes they can be dodgy. What are your pc specs?

you might try un-installing it again and make sure to get rid of all of the files before re-installing it.

you can rename those opening movie files.......from Dice and EA GAMES so they don't even show....the game loads right to your profile screen by renaming the .bik movies to something else for example the dice.bik you can rename to 8dice.bik. Anytime you install a patch though you have to go back and change them as the patch rests the filenames to original settings.

As for your problems.....make sure you have your auidio hardware acceleration turned off and check on a new sound driver.

Also check the 1.5 patch README.txt file for known audio problems

Interestingly, someone else with a similar (but not identical) problem solved it by turning on audio hardware acceleration. (Not to discount your words sKiT, but rather more information for future reference.)

Ah, skit, you are a miracle worker. Renaming those files did the trick, I think. While I was browsing around my BF1942 stuff I deleted some mods and maps and junk that I dont use. But I think it was renaming those files.

Thank you very much.
