don't try to drive the aircraft carriers, it'll make you look like a dumbass when you beach it.

Don't worry about not being good at the airplanes. It takes a good amount of time to master them. So you're gonna suck and get shot down allot at first. I would practice with one bot in single player and just practice flying until you master it. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I too bought this recently and found that although my system is high end the game struggles on the lowest graphics settings, does anyone have any tech tips?

no tips, I found the same thing. I have to run it on low setting, and even then I can only survive on a server with very low ping...

set it so you only have 1 or 2 enemies, that way you can practice your flying.

My first piece of advice is download the Galatic Conquest mod and convert it into Star Wars....

this is the best mod around and is totally awesome http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-2thumbsup.gif

I'll give that a go my comp at home should be downloading all 500mb of the dersert combat mod I'd like to ask again if anyone has any advice on getting a smooth running bf1942, TK has similar sluggishness to me, does anyones run in any acceptable way (ie not overtly jerky)?

Well I know BF had problems with some graphic cards. I thought the latest patches fixed most problems. You should really try to find the patches (I know its a pretty big download). Also there are a couple of new maps in them.

A p4 2.4Ghz, a 128mb Geforce 4 Ti4200 (or 4600 cant remember), 1Gb DDR RAM, sb live 5.1 and a genius 5.1 soundcard (using genuis at the moment), and ADSL on XP Pro. At the moment all settings are on low , 800x600 res and the sound settings are low too.

I'm positive I have the latest version of the game, i played on servers last night, i'll check tho.

Need any more info?

Thanks

My specs are almost identical, and I can run BF on near nax settings smoothly. Now, Vietnam, that's a different story...but 1942 runs perfectly.

If you want to fly planes...Buy a joystick Now

If your ever having trouble on the ground always look for tanks. I enjoy especially playing Omaha (I think thats the D-Day level they have) and just using tanks to slaughter the Germans as they come charging out after me. Definitely go for the Galactic Conquest mod, Eve of Destruction is pretty good too, Pirates is also fun sometimes.

Shadeswolf, nice surprise to see you playing Galactic Conquest I played it too, but BF 1942 slipped out of my fingers and now I am waiting for the Star Wars: Battlefront, since there is no port to BF: Vietnam in sight and the mod developers have said loud and clear that there is no reason to change engine for the time being. Means negative, Rafterman, no port to BF:V

As for the 1942 running slow, you guys will need to update that game. I don’t know what version you are playing, but until recently, I have had almost the same specifics as you have mentioned them, and didn’t have any significant problems with it. 1942 became a full grown game only with the 1.6 patch, which you should upgrade to absolutely unless you haven’t done so already.

Other than that, I can only round up the usual suspects and call for disk defragmentation, killing off the various anti-virus programs running in the background, update your graphic card et cetera.

Strength and honor
