Anyone able to play BF1942 with Oc'ed System?

[daNo-]

My problem with BF is that when i double click the icon, the battlefield loading screen comes up, the screen turns black like if it is going to load then automatically i hear an error sound and battlefield just closes. My Rig is 100% stable, ran prime95 for 8 hours without an error. My 2.4c is at 3.5 ghz.

Specs in sig.

Thanks

It works for me, with the rig in my sig. I did however have problems with my 2.4b @ 2.72. It would load, and play the game, but after about 12 min it would restart my computer.

Probably since your rig wasn't stable enough. Mine is, no idea why i have that problem...

 

[bchur83]

They both were prime stable for 24 hrs, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

yeah i played battlefield on a slightly OC'd 2100+ (it dosent go much higher than 100-200 mhz OC. What drivers/patch are you using??

I didn't have a problem either with my 2500+ (1.8GHz) overclocked to 2.2GHz.

No problem with any of my OCd systems.

No problem when I had my 2400+ (2Ghz) @ 2.4Ghz 200*12. I even had it clocked like that @ a lan party and played BF for over 4hrs straingt and even other games like Generals and UT2k3 and I had no probs.

I had a similar prob tho on one of my boxxes (one I lend to my friends so they can go to lan with me if they cant take theirs) and it would crash out @ a black screen. I did the refresh rate fix and it worked and the rig was fine since then. I'd check the refresh rate fix and try it and see what happens.

You have hit the nail on the head, BF is VERY sensitive when it comes to overclocks, I wasn't able to play it at 2.4GHz on my 1700+ but it plays just fine at a tick over 2GHz. And yes this was on a Prime 95 stable rig as well.

Have you tried other video drivers?

Plays fine on my OC'ed pc, except for some stupid bugs. Doesn't matter tho. The game wasn't my cup of tea. Too slow. Two head shots for a kill.

Had only a couple problems when I played. My 2.8 intel @ 3.2. But I think my only problem was just because I'm using a no cd hack sort of thing. That was basically my problem. It works fine now.

My vid card drivers are the 41.03, ive had tried playing with patch and without patch and still no good. Anyone have an idea why i cant play it... ?

 

[madcow235]

Plays fine on my comp

 

[SniperXX]

I agree with SpeeDj. BF is very sensitive to OCs even prime stable ones.

But did you try thr refresh rate fix, since its simple and takes like 10sec to do. Plus it will help you to know if its your OC thats making the probs.

refresh rate fix ??? ???¿¿¿

 

[stereo555]

No problems here , and my system is VERY STABLE but NOT prime stable (above 255 FSB ; go fiqure *see sig* ) .

I also just went from the Omega 3.9's to the factory ATI 3.10's with much better results in BF1942 and a futher boost in OC'ing my 9800P . Try the Cat 3.10's and see what happens .

If I remember correctly go to C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings or where ever you installed BF. In the Settings folder there is a file called VideoDefault.con. Open it in notepad and change the line renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0 now change that zero to a 1. That will fix the prob most of the time. This was on a EA support page a while back. If it doesnt work put it back to zero and try lowering the oc.

 

[Aktunka]

Plays excellently on my system in my sig. Sometimes BF seems to get funky on some folks machines and if they completely uninstall it then reinstall it seems to help. Dunno if it will help you though =/

Two head shots for a kill.

Ever been shot in the head?

I personally am surprised it takes more than one.

Realism may not be your cup of tea, but it didn't stop that from being game of the year and having Mod of the Year with Desert Combat, which if you haven't played, do so. You havn't experienced fun until you have mastered the Apache AH64 Helo and wooped ace with it.


Please don't take offense, I am just picking on you for not liking realism.
