#BATTLEFIELD 1942 EXPANSIONS HOW TO#
Alternatively, see the Advanced Tweaking section of the guide for details on how to set a different startup resolution, in case your graphics card/monitor simply cannot do resolution. if you're using Refresh Force, click the 'Restore Original Settings' button and apply) or set it back to 60Hz for both 800圆00 and your chosen gaming resolution. If you are using any other refresh rate, or a refresh rate override program/method, disable it (e.g. By default the game tries to launch at initially, so your system must be able to run that same resolution and refresh rate, otherwise the game will abort. The reason for this is either incompatible hardware (make sure you meet all of the minimum specs for the game), or more usually the fact that you're not running at the default refresh rate of 60Hz. Launch Issues: The most common problem with BF2 is that the game crashes to desktop or goes to a black screen when you first launch it. I found this below on a site about the game. (I am VERY frustrated because I can not seem to find a reason for the problem.) If you need the Dxdiag details or it in hijackthis form I have them ready. I have also edited the shortcut to Battlefield 1942 making it say Run in 640 x 480 screen Resolution if I should of not of done this although in the FAQ I should have tell me. Note: I have emailed them (about 4 days ago) with no response, and posted on EA forum (1-2 days ago) with no response this is my alternative and I hope someone here can help me. If you have a reason/cause for this problem and or a answer to it please respond.
I have read the FAQ fully and I have checked out everything the FAQ says could cause this problem at the EA Games Support site. I have un-installed it and re-installed it again and it still does not work. I have a screen resolution of 800 by 600 Pixels, color quality of Highest (32 bit), and a screen refresh rate of 57 Hertz and I can not go any lower without my screen going black and doing the out of range thing. I have all the requirements for the game and Battlefield Vietnam works fine but not 1942 and expansions. I can still here the music but I cannot see the image. When I turn on Battlefield 1942 the screen comes out black and says Out of Range.
