I had to recently get a new computer and was not able to get Win 7. I was upgraded to Win 10 and have been unsuccessful in my attempts to play. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, you might try reading here http://www.moongamer...showtopic=66448
depends on what the game is doing exactly, can you not load into servers?
Battlefield 1942 installers including the installers used for the expansion packs are similar in the fact they are all zipped packages delivering two priority files, Setup.exe and Data.bin
To Install
( Right click on the zipped file and choose 'extract all' )
DO NOT
(From a post Posi made)

Enabling Direct Play is required on Windows 10 , it's just a few clicks

please post your solution.
I have a laptop that refuses to play. Tried every solution offered out there.

I used my WWII Anthology discs (blasted red originals stopped to read >.<) n that's pre-installed v1.6 then to v1.61 patch to the nocd crack and then SiMPLE's executable (automated masterserver redirect and all your resolutions choose-able inmenu!)
Likewise I could not keep my Win7 setup since apparently hardware manufacturers been stopped support for Win7 when she is not even old
Then again, this Win10 closer to WinXP than Vista/7 ever could!!! No more shitty compatibility modes especially for those mods that wanted 98 compat-mode resulting in stuttering cut-off sounds all over especially that SiMPLE's clever incredible BF1942.exe will not hang with that nincompoopsense

I'm playing on Windows 10 with the disks, it works perfectly (except the crashings which are 'normal'). As Posi said, enable direct play,

It took me a long time to get it running on Windows 10, my issue was that it would not load once I tried to turn on the game.. Yes, direct play needed to be enabled, that was the easiest part. Ultimately I had to download all of the patches, then go in to compatibility and set it to run at windowsXP.

I was able to get it to work by downloading the Battlefield 1942 HD from Abandonware Games. I needed to add the GameSpy IP to the hosts file and enable Direct Play.
