Hi everyone! So me and my friends have downloaded Battlefield 1942 for free on Origin, but there is a problem, the game won't launch. For all of us. When we select Battlefield 1942 and press the Launch game button, Origin says that the game is launching, but nothing happens after the notice disapears.

Can anyone of you help us out with this problem? Thanks! mileyhappy:

Get sure that you are running Origin and BF1942 as administrator. Depending on your version of Windows, it might help to use the Windows compatibility mode. Do you have some details about your system? Especially your DXDIAG would help us a lot to get a bit more insight for investigation.

Cheers

Yea, I am another with the same problem. Downloaded to 2 different laptops and same problem. Both laptops running Win7-64bit Pro/Ult with

2Gig Video RAM, 4GIG System RAM - Heaps HDD space. BF3 runs works as does BFH.

Hope this can be resolved.

So, I just got an Origin account because I saw that my childhood love Battlefield 1942 was free. So I -running Windows 7 32 bit-  installed Origin, downloaded and installed BF 42, and when I click the play button the window pops up saying 'launching game' and then the window vanishes, my mouse has the loading icon beside it for a second, then nothing. No game, no nothing. This is the second computer I've installed Origin and BF 42 on, and I'm getting irked by this. Any help?

I've moved your thread from Battlefield 3 to Battlefield 1942. 

Could you please deactivate Origin In-game for Battlefield 1942 and then try again. If you are using the latest beta update for Origin, right-click Battlefield 1942 and select Game Properties -> Disable Origin In-game. If you are using the latest release version of Origin, click Application Settings in the main menu, go to Origin In-game and deactivate it or set it to recommended games.

Try again and let us know if that will make it work for you.

Well, Battlefield 1942 is running fine on my Windows 7 64bit computer here and Windows 8 64bit at home, so we need to figure out what is preventing you from starting the game.
