I've found a couple of fixes out there, but it'll take a couple of days for me to find the disk and try them out. If anyone else wants to play guinea pig, here ya go:

My understanding is that the main problem is that one of the files specifically directs the game to find servers at a gamespy address...naturally that's gone, so that file needs to be replaced by one that links to a functioning site. The various fixes I've found seem to replace that file.

The official servers were on gamespy, which is dead. There are third-party servers running, though.

Do we have to grab and install all of the expansions from the 1942 mods site?

I downloaded them but haven't installed yet. Got sunk in a Japanese destroyer like three times playing vanilla. :getin:

I've just been joining online servers normally. Haven't tried any kind of LAN thing or anything, just standard multiplayer.

Is anyone else installing Desert Combat?

Wait, where's this at? I loved DC.

Also, that 1942mods site has one called Battlefield:1982 Interstate

I am so bad at infantry in bf1942 it's not even funny. I'm so bad in fighters that it is funny.
