About Battlefield 1942

Battlefield 1942 is a 3D World War II first-person shooter (FPS) computer game developed by Digital Illusions CE and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows (2002) and Apple Macintosh (2004). The game can be played in singleplayer mode against computer game bots or in multiplayer mode against players on the Internet.

In-game, players assume the role of one of five classes of infantry: Sniper, Assault, Anti-Tank, Medic, and Engineer. Players also have the ability to fly various World War II fighter aircraft and bombers, navigate capital ships and aircraft carriers, man coastal artillery defenses, drive tanks, APCs and jeeps, and take control of anti-aircraft guns and mounted machine guns.

Each battle takes place on one of several maps located in a variety of places and famous battlefields in all of the major theaters of World War II: the Pacific, European, North African, and Eastern Fronts. Combat is always fought between the Axis Powers and the Allies. The location determines which nation-specific armies are used (for example, on the Iwo Jima map, it is Japan versus the United States, while on the Battle of Britain map, it is Germany versus the United Kingdom). The maps in Battlefield 1942 are based on real battles and are somewhat realistically portrayed.

Wine configuration

This is with a configuration directory after DirectX was installed and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop.

$ winecfg

Once the .wine directory is built the configuration tool will start and you can set a virtual desktop in the graphics tab if you wish. This is a good time to also set your Audio driver in the Audio tab.

Installing Battlefield 1942

Mount the install CD and then run Setup.exe from the mount point but don't (cd) to its location...

tom@tuxonfire ~ $ wine /mnt/cdrom/Setup.exe
err:ole:marshal_object object doesn't expose interface {be6115a1-7de5-48dc-ad2a-25060e00fce2}, failing with error 0x80004002
err:rpc:I_RpcReceive we got fault packet with status 0x80004002

After the first CD is installed open another terminal and eject the first CD.

tom@tuxonfire ~ $ wine eject

Insert the second CD and proceed with the install.

Keyboard problem
Egilan 2009-02-21 06:00:09

I have a problem with keyboard. I can't write anything in the game... but I can change controls. I
would like to chat in the online game sometimes, but I can't write anything. And when I press
"K", what is "say all", I have to kill that game, because nothing can get that thing
off. I have tried every keys. I just have to press "Alt + F4", if I want to do something...
It is very irrtanting. :(

And sorry my bad English.
Strange graphics
that idiot over there 2009-03-18 14:16:29

I followed the instructions, and the game runs. When I start a game the graphics are VERY messed up,
weapons / HUD is blue, most of the map does not appear, vehicles only show up partially (ie the tank
only has blue caterpillar tracks). I'm using an EEE PC 900 on Debian with wine compiled from git.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I'd say it's your PC.

EEE Pc's were never really desinged for games. Particularly games like
this.

Even more so, Laptops are not really for games.

The problem is, EEE PC's (Without knowing
the specs) don't have a graphics card. I'm actually surprised that it's working at all.

If you
really, really want to play it, I can only suggest either:
A) Installing a graphics card (IF you
can)
Or, the more costly method:
B) Buying a PC that will be able to play Battlefield.

I'm on a
Compaq laptop at the moment, It plays battlefield very well. However it struggles to play anything
with high graphics.


Cheers

Tom The Pom.
Ok...
that idiot over there 2010-01-11 08:31:15

The EEE PC does have a graphics card, an Intel GM950 I think. I never got it to run on that machine,
but I'm getting a new laptop soon so it might run on that.
Need Help !!!!! Strange Control Problem (Vista)
iamwhoiam 2009-12-08 17:25:23

Hi there, I'm using Window Vista Home Basic and playing Battlefield 1942. When the first time I
played BF1942, I encountered a very strange problem with my keyboard. I can't really control all the
options in the game...

(ie. the game is probably has the options for controlling mouse & keyboard
sensitivity, but I just saw the word stated there and nothing like a scroller for me to control the
options) and

(ie. the game doesn't want me to control for the sound & graphic options, and also
I can't control for the mouse aiming color, that's why I can't see clearly where is my mouse aiming)
~ ~ :(

and one more silly questions:Why can't the soldier that I am controlling can't walk
faster / run, his movement speed is like dumb slow tortoise :(

CAN ANYONE HELP ME ?????
Tom Wickline 2009-12-08 19:24:50

You could maybe remove the games and re-install it maybe something is curropt and thats why it is as
it is. You might also want to make sure all your drivers are up to date on the computer.

The Issues Emerged Again (Vista)
iamwhoiam 2009-12-10 17:14:59

hi, Tom. I tried your suggestions but it seemed to be not the problem of corruption of programmes,
and when I tried to update my NVIDIA driver and it was not successful because my computer can't
search for the update online..... I 'm really getting frustrated and gonna delete this game and try
for 1943 or something else !!!! Is it any other solution ?? ? ? ? ?? ?
Tom Wickline 2009-12-10 17:54:32

I have no Idea, I dont use Windows I use Linux and run the games through Wine .
