NOTE: ALL PLAYER SCORES WILL BE ZEROED OUT AT THE BEGINING OF EACH NEW YEAR.

{OTB} (Only The Best) BF1942 Clan, formerly the {98th} during the Medal of Honor series, was formed in 2003. Our desire was to run family friendly servers with anti cheat and anti hack maps that were modded by our own very talented clan members. In addition we managed our servers around the clock by many admins located around the world so trouble makers would be dealt with quickly no matter the time of day. We ran our own dedicated Demo Wake and Demo Secret Weapons (Hellendorn) servers along with the full retail version of BF1942 and a separate server that first ran DC, then DCF and finally DCX.9 mod for many years finally shutting down in 2008.

Then in 2019 I decided to start running the full retail version server of BF1942 with Secret Weapons maps along with a second server running the best maps from the DC, DCF, DCX.9 and DCFX mods. NOTE: Starting with the DCX mod the realism of the actual power of weapons was introduced with firepower that provided one shot one kill engagements for well placed rounds. Shell drop over distance was dramatically reduced to produce straight line of sight trajectory of high speed muzzle rounds of both hand weapons and armored vehicles. When your ready to move beyond the watered down DC-DCF mods and into the real world of DCX and beyond we will be waiting for you.

You will need to install the game in the following order to get BF1942 to play on modern Windows machines. NOTE: Some newer computer systems may require you to configure the setup.exe file properties located on CD disk one (1) to a compatibility mode of Windows XP SP3 and enable administrator control otherwise during the installation process a failure to read certain needed media files on the game CD's might occur.


1.) Retail version of BF1942 "The Complete Collection" (CD's) can be purchased on eBay usually for $10 to $20. Make sure the CD-Keys are included. Install all four BF1942 CD's.

2.) Bf1942 upgrade v1.619

4.) SiMPLE Battlefield 1942 GameSpy patch v2 (Gamespy shut down in 2014 so this patch will redirect your BF1942 program to a server in France that allows you to see the BF1942 servers on the internet so you can once again play BF1942 online.) Special THANKS to the SiMPLE team members that make this possible!!!

Finally, to get BF1942 to launch on modern machines make sure you install the following patch shown in step 5. Before you do this make sure you have NOT set any compatibility modes for the BF1942.exe shortcut. If you have uncheck them before applying this patch. This Crash Fix patch file also enables full wide screen resolutions.

5.) BF1942CF.EXE (works with 64 bit version of Vista, Win7, *Win8 and *Win10) *Make sure DirectPlay has been enabled in Windows 8 and 10. You can learn how to check if directplay is enabled by viewing this video:

The server is set with kickback damage punishment's active so the Natter can easily become a weapon of mass destruction against friendlies even if it was unintentional. The reason the server is set t… (more) majordan350 Jan 10, 2022 6:14 AM

Well I assumed all humans played played on the small (allied) team vs the bots. So it's the bots that don't like the natter? :) jjames67 Jan 09, 2022 5:24 AM

Sorry for the late response. Because the Natter is hated by most players due to its weapons overwhelming destructive power. It can be used for high altitude parachute drops into Hellendoorn. We a… (more) majordan350 Aug 22, 2021 8:46 AM

Why doesn't the natter on Hellendorn work properly? Unusable jjames67 Aug 12, 2021 8:12 AM
