Odd problem; BF1942

Zebede · 12 Mar 2006 at 21:35

Having rather a lot of trouble with BF1942 lately. It seems that after I play it and quit to windows, BF1942 won't load again until I restart the computer. I literally can only play once per restart. I have tried various graphics drivers and even reinstalled windows today to see if it would fix the problem; it hasn't.

It is patched to 1.61b.

Any ideas?

If you CTRL+ALT+DELETE after you've left the game does it leave process still running? If it does try killing it and restarting BF.

when you quit the game. bring up the task manager and see if the game's .exe is still listed. if so, end the process and it should boot again without having to restart. other than that i can't be of much help

edit: beaten to it, again lol

Small update; nothing is in the task manager related to BF1942 after it quits, and I have found out that un-patched, the game works flawlessly. As soon as I patch it the problems start...
