Did you fully patch up Battlefield 1942 including the game spy patch ?
what is the lowest resolution your laptop supports ?
bf1942 requires a monitor that supports at least 800 by 600
Yes, everything is patched. The lowest my monitor seems to go is 1024 x 768.
well then that is the actual problem because Battlefield 1942 requires 800 by 600
to be supported by the display monitor.
a workaround would be to connect your laptop to a TV which supports that resolution or a monitor
Am I able to change the display in the game itself, so I can use my laptop monitor or would I have to plug in a new monitor each time?
I'm afraid that won't help because the main menu still requires 800 by 600 despite the hd fix that is included in the gamespy patch which actually allows the game to run in full HD or 4K resolution. the main menu will still stay in 800 by 600.
by the way the hd fix made fhsw look gorgeous in 4k
