So, I just got an Origin account because I saw that my childhood love Battlefield 1942 was free. So I -running Windows 7 32 bit- installed Origin, downloaded and installed BF 42, and when I click the play button the window pops up saying 'launching game' and then the window vanishes, my mouse has the loading icon beside it for a second, then nothing. No game, no nothing. This is the second computer I've installed Origin and BF 42 on, and I'm getting irked by this. Any help?
EA StaffI've moved your thread from Battlefield 3 to Battlefield 1942.
Could you please deactivate Origin In-game for Battlefield 1942 and then try again. If you are using the latest beta update for Origin, right-click Battlefield 1942 and select Game Properties -> Disable Origin In-game. If you are using the latest release version of Origin, click Application Settings in the main menu, go to Origin In-game and deactivate it or set it to recommended games.
Try again and let us know if that will make it work for you.
Tried all of the advice given, no result.
Damn EA, always released somthing that neva runs..
I've been having the same problem, and none of the solutions have worked for me either
Pitty, I still remember going to my nephew only to play battlefield. Was hoping to dig up some memories... It was such an amazing game back in the days.
No one can solve this problem?
Same issue here, Windows 8, using my second [New] Origin account, BF1942 won't launch, however other demos on origin do, but I would also like to know other than why BF1942 won't load, will I be able to buy and play new EA games off of origin on my second [Newer] account such as BF4 on a second account?

Thank you.
there is also another topic about the same thing with more suggestions, but unfortunately none of them have worked for me either

I've got the exact same problem on my windows 8 computer.
I also had this problem for battlefield 3 and somehow managed to fix it by reloading all my games.
But that does not work for Battlefield 1974
Why does EA make games if us customers cannot even start them up ?
I just got Battlefield 1942 and I have the same problem as well. I tried running it in 640x480 resolution and got a black flickering screen for a few seconds, but still nothing.
