I just got BF 1942 today and was excited to play it. Well I loaded it
up and it looked good but ran really slow. I was surprized because I was well above the system requirements. can any of yall shep some light on the subject PLEASE i realy want to play this cool game.I am going to try the new detonator drivers and update the game and see if that helps.


(oh I got a AMD XP 1700+ overcloked to 1.6 ghz 257 megs of ddr ram and Geforce 2 mx 400 w/ 64 mgs of ddr ram)

i did the same thing man, loaded it up and it ran really choppy, and i was like wth? the demo ran perfect. Come to find out my computer couldnt process all the bots that the single player campaigns put in there, what you need to do is just join an online game or create your own and it will run like the demo did, thats my experience anyway

Sounds like another patch is going to be needed or maybe its like most other games.. needs only higher end video and sounds cards to operate. I know that with BF1942, your sound card has to be able to utilize directx 8.1 (especially if its a sound blaster) or it will not work properly and that is what a lot of the lag is about..

Click Start >> RUN >> type dxdiag
Click OK and a new window will come up, click on the SOUND tab
Find the Hardware Sound Acceleration Level and set it to "basic acceleration" then EXIT.

See if this helps any
