Upgrading Battlefield 1942 servers sucks.

a) The incremential patch to v1.45 is broken.
b) You can't simply reinstall the full version over the top of the existing version - it prompts you to uninstall the old version first.
c) After its uninstalled, the installer simply quits and you have to run it again to actually install the full version
d) You have to be logged in as Administrator to run the installer
e) When you install it, it tells you its missing MSVCP60.DLL, which you have to download and install separately.

Not fun. Especially with their whole 'lets release it on Friday' thing, which means Saturday for us.

there were ausgamers SOF 2, BF1942, UT tactical ops, cs and RTCW servers, of which only the cs servers survive.

that's an odd way to look at it. not being able to figure out how to patch their servers makes them not 'n00b'?

also, have fun :)

no it makes then smart considering the last 2-3 patches from EA have been garbage. and correct me if im wrong most mods are completly f***$* or crash client side with the new patch.
