Wish i had BF1942 or is it 1943?

There's both

1942: PC (& Mac) FPS game from 2002
1943: Xbox\PS3 2009 Online Shooter. PC: June 2010.

I have 1942 (Complete) but yet to install and have a play). I also have 1943 for the 360 - that's good fun.

and I like the M1 on that too.

If Steam have it or had it, i'd buy it.

Steam is blocked in work

It's quite gay.

just register for BF Heroes then play a round, then register for BC2 veteran. That gets you veteran status and the m1. BF2 also if you have that.

Anyone got any ideas as to how to improve my online connectivity? I get the "Connection has been lost" message alomst every game I play, I can hardly play through a single game without it crashing back to the menu screen. It is REALLY starting to annoy me now.

What's your ISP and router?

physichull · 23 Apr 2010 at 15:16

Its Virgin and it is a Thomson router. I have been reading something about TCP timeout settings or something that may help?

I also had similar problems with Operation Flashpoint 2, couldn't finish a game. You think TCP timeout could be the issue? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

If its the thompson 585v7 a lot of us had the same problem and it was sorted by going into the router settings are turning Upnp off. was getting dropped everygame and have never been dropped since after turning it off.

Ok, this seems like what the problem could be then. I will look for it tonight and see if this is the case. Cheers for your input.

Could this also be linked to a similar problem I have with NAT connection issues with CoH?

Bingo! I had this issue as well until I turned off the uPnP in the settings. Never been disconnected since. Only thing is, it still hasn't fixed the 'getting killed a lot' problem I seem to have....might ring my ISP and see if they can fix it for me

Thanks guys, I shall try this when I get home. This definately seems to be the problem. I shall look forwards to a full game tonight then! I even lost an Ace Pin because of this! I was well gutted.

Will do, i downloaded vent last night for pvp co-ordination in Star Wars Galaxies, prefer Teamspeak though.

Thegoon84 said:
Yeah so did i but over time i've realised vent is far better!

Vent is better than TS2, TS3 is ment to be better than Vent.

But Mumble is far better than the lot.

Yes there was a client update on Tuesday. (Remember to run the updater as Administrator on Vista or win7)

Just a thumbs up buddy.
