[INFORMATION] Origin version BF1942 won't launch

I've tried running the game as an administrator, disabled my antivirus and restarted my PC, but no matter what it will not launch! I get to message that it's launching, but it never launches. I checked in task manager to see if it's running or anything, but no. I'm disappointed since I was looking forward to playing this game.

This is my first Origin account & first time playing BF1942. I've tried running the game as adminstrator, disabling "Origin in game", running compatibility mode etc and all that happens is the box appears saying "Launching Game..." then disappears.

My computer spec is: AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5 GHz - Processor

                                       SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition - Graphics Card

                                       2x2GB 1600 mHz DDR3 - RAM

                                       Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 - Motherboard

this is the only Origin account and my first time playing BF1942. I've tried all of the work arounds that was listed in previous posts.

Computer specs: AMD Phenom II x4 965 Processor @ 3.40 GHz

                                8 GB of ram (DDR3)

                                ASUS GTX560 Ti 1GB 830MHz Overclock -graphics card

Operating system: windows 7 home premium 64-bit

This is mine I am having the same result so...

Same issue here. I installed the game, and tried running it. It proceedes to running a loading menu for a breif moment stating that the game is launching then the prompt disappears and nothing happens. My brother has almost the same exact setup as I do and he has no problem getting the game running.

I have

windows 7 64bit

CPU AMD 8350 4.0ghz

GPU MSI radeon 7850 2gb

8gb ram

1TB hdd

This origin account is 2 weeks old and the only one I have ever had.

I installed the game 2 nights ago

No issues running any other games listed in origin including BF3

I've tried everything listed including running as admin and changing compatability modes.

Battlefield 1942 won't start on Windows 7.

Thank you for taking the time to address this problem. The problem is the same as described.

Start game either from desktop icon or Origin/My Games tab with the battlefield icon and the Launching dialog comes up and then disappears. The Origin client flickers a few times after redraw but no game.

The issue occurred right from the first time run and every time thereafter, even after I tried disabling the Desktop Window Manager and reducing the desktop resolution. There is only one Origin account with the Origin client.

I thought that it might be important to point out that from the error codes below in the log file output, the Win32 error code for 18 is "not the same device", which could mean that a game or client installed on a non-system drive might be causing the problem. Both my Origin client and game folder are located on the second physical drive in the system, (drive D). This might be the source of the problem as I imagine there are many others with similar setups.

[Note... I tried moving the installation of both the Origin client and Battlefield 1942 to my system drive and got a different set results. The game still didn't run, but I got a different log file output from the Client_log.txt with the error being RTP Game already running ]

My system info is:

Another value that came up for LastError is 1813 which I tried looking up online as a Win32 error code and it came up as resource not found.

Thank you again, I've been a big fan of EA since the wee wee early days.

Ok I found something idk if it helps or not but i right clicked bf1942.exe and went to trouble shoot compatiblity and I clicked use recomended settings (xp service pack 3) and I got a box saying "Missing Required File "ssleay32.dll" does that mean anything?

Also edit when i got throught with troubleshooting it said "Incompatible File".

What did they do, put a game up on Origin that doesn't work so we would be inclined to post our computer specs so they can see what we have?

Have you guys given up on us BF1942 fans? It seems it has been like forever since launch off BF1942 F2P. Really big fan off the BF series, its a shame we can't play it for some reason, really brings back memories.
