CD Checks are about as pointless as they come. First, if I didnt buy the game then I dont have a CD Key to play online with. Second, NO CD patches always come out. Lastly, recently all the cd checks have done is cause problems with the game.

The BF1942 Remote Server Manager utility has finally been released! If you run a Battlefield server on a remote box, you NEED this utility. Mong the features are..
- Change the current server settings (a subset of those in Server Manager)
- Manage the map rotation i.e load new map, set next map, restart current map
- Manage players i.e kick and ban
- Manage the ban list i.e add address, remove address, clear ban list.
- See the settings of all running servers at the IP address
- Monitor servers running at the IP address and optionally sound a crash alarm
- Type commands directly at the server console in a window
On the same page is also a replacement utility for the Battlefield DedicateServer.exe. The Battlefield 1942 Dedicated Server Manager has a BUNCH of options that aren't in the original DedicatedServer.exe. Some of it's features are as follows..
- Reads the current server settings from the config files at startup
- Includes all known server settings that can be set in the config files
- Supports multiple server configurations via command-line option
- Supports multiple server instances on a single computer
- Can start and stop a dedicated server without using the console
- Can monitor and automatically restart a server in the event of a crash
- Works with both the retail game and retail dedicated servers
- Can minimize the server window which is not normally possible
- Detects custom maps and allow you to include them in the map rotation
- Includes tool tips that tell you what each setting does
Both utilities can be found on this page: http://www.blackbagops.com/bfutils.shtml

You need to change the videodefault.con line that reads "allowallrefreshrates 0" to "allowallrefreshrates 1" in order for the game to load at a refresh rate other than 60hz. If you try it without doing that, you crash back to the desktop. The file is located in your bf1942/mods/bf1942/settings directory.

Last try.
I played for about an hour on Ashkie's and nothing seemed to be right. The medic's gun wasn't as accurate as it used to be, my engie mines killed everybody on my team at one point (???), I didn't notice any close combat improvement, and teammate locators on the map (arrows, vehicles, and such) warped around.

Maybe it was the ~150 ping, but I've never had this problem earlier (with 1.1). I remember something about this pre-1.1, does anyone remember if there was a clientside fix for it?

If you are having problems with the Merciless add-on installed:
TO REMOVE MERCILESS FILES (the archives folder was moved in the 1.2 patch to the mods dir hence why it broke) if you have the latest just remove it from add/remove programs. If you have an earlier version, do this.
Remove these files:
