I recently tried to manually add a server, it won't even let me type in the field. I'm running windows 10, still using the Game Spy thing.

If you updated your game with whatever gamespy replacement you should be able to add server. I've heard there are some issues with the game in Windows 10 however, and as I haven't used it yet I'm not familiar with all of them. Another route you can take is to direct connect from the 1942 shortcut, since you already know the intended server IP. Just right click it, go to properties, and edit the target field. It would look something like the examples below.


"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +game XPack1 +restart 1 +joinServer 64.120.56.204:14567

 

Alternatively for origin
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +game XPack1 +restart 1 +joinServer 64.120.56.204:14567


I also start in an expansion when I open the game because it doesn't cost anything (timewise) and saves the brief delay later if where I'm joining happens to be on whichever I've chosen. Hope this helps. :)
