Hmm, it looks like the link Gav gave you was the version 1.6. And you need the version 1.61b.

Download this: http://www.softwarepatch.com/games/battlefield1942.html
Then, this: http://www.filefront.com/3753283/Battle ... 61b-Patch/

Hmm sorry about that, just went on to patch page & that as all that was on offer so guessed it would be the latest bag of patches. We are so slow in the UK always lagging behind with this technology thing.

Just a quick note, you need to install the 1.6 patch then the 1.61b incremental patch
if you install the 1.61b before the 1.6 it will not work properly

The patches are available in the Downloads section of the forums. Did you get an error message when you tried to download them?

When I clicked on the link to download the patches on the forums , I get this message
404 Not Found
The requested URL /jif/downloads/bf1942/patches/battlefield_1942_patch_v1.6.19.exe does not exist. this message shows up for both of the patches .

I'm trying to install Battlefield on my lap top . my desk top unit is out of order . ;( I'm able to play bf on Hamsters desk top unit , But wanted to install it on my lap top so I didn't have to use Hamsters computer

also when I down loaded the patches that Lt. Gav & Cesar posted punk buster tell me that there outdated , :shock: not sure what I did wrong
I installed them in the order that Lt. Gav had suggested but no Luck :shock: :shock:

Last night I used the 2 links in Cesar's post of 31st October above to patch the install on my new machine.
No problems with game play from PB everything worked fairly fine & dandy. The game crashed out every 3 or 4 maps, but hey ho small inconvenience!
