Re: [INFORMATION] Origin version BF1942 won't launch

Get sure that you are running Origin and BF1942 as administrator. Depending on your version of Windows, it might help to use the Windows compatibility mode. Do you have some details about your system? Especially your DXDIAG would help us a lot to get a bit more insight for investigation.

Cheers

done all that wont work for me help

Yea, I am another with the same problem. Downloaded to 2 different laptops and same problem. Both laptops running Win7-64bit Pro/Ult with

2Gig Video RAM, 4GIG System RAM - Heaps HDD space. BF3 runs works as does BFH.

Hope this can be resolved.

thanks

OlMogy ...

Let's say BF1942 is not really hungry when it comes to hardware.

Hi Basti,

Yup tried your recommended steps however no luck. The result is still the same.

I hit the Play button and a dialog pops up saying 'Launching BF1942' then it closes and nothing more happens.

thanks

I've tried the same thing, and the same thing happens.

I don't know why I spent so much time trying to figure this out. Here's a list of the things I've seen suggested on the web, and which I've tried, but to no avail:

* compatibility mode change for bf42.exe.

* "run as administrator" mode for both origin.exe and bf42.exe

* resolution change to 800*600 for monitor

* check for updates and repair install options in origin for Battlefield 1942

* disabling windows firewall and internet security software

* creating exception in windows firewall for Origin

* reinstall Origin and Battlefield 1942

* system restart

Nothing seems to work.

Edit: To be explicit, when I either click the desktop icon or click the Play button in Origin, a window appears saying "Launching ... Battlefield 1942." The window disappears after a couple seconds and nothing happens.

Still waiting fix

Having the same issue as everyone else; origin says game is launching, loading wheel spins for a second, then message disappears and nothing happens.

Have tried all the suggested fixes, no change whatsoever.

Tried all of the above.. still won't work.

Does the game still need a serial Key? If i look at the information (i) in Origin, there is none.

will not work here either ,tried all the mentioned fixes in this thread and it did not do anything. still only pretends to start and then nothing.

any solutions for this yet? or are we all just waiting for a fix still

It's been a while, and still no sign of a fix or patch. Are you waiting for us to forget it, or are you working on the problem? 

same i tried it all as well and i am even running on friggin vista

Also got this problem; Windows 8 Pro 64bit.

I guess they are hoping we will forget about this since they seem to be ignoring and not giving updates on what's going on.

l beleive the game does need a cd key. I was able to get the game to launch using a mod that replaced the .exe file, but then when I tried to join an Online match it said Invalid CD key. My cousin called EA who then gave him a CD key and the game works fine for him now. absolutley no issues. If only they could get this through their stupid heads. I spent 40 minutes arguing with a rep that this is what I needed and he wouldn't listen.

what is the mod ? also how do we get the cd key if we didn't buy it?

Me too

No idea how to solve this,tried everything and anyhing that was suggested...

This worked for me on win7 x64:

Right-clicked BF1942 -> troubleshoot compatibility

Suggested win XP SP2, took that one.

Went to Origin, right-clicked BF1942 -> repair install

After that it launched fine :D

My Battlefield somewhat launchs. It gets to the ESRB screen after the intro but stays on that screen.
