IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT !!!

Recently the master server stopped working, which means that all people that are still on the OLD master server do not have a working server browser as of the end of February. Why is this a problem? You won't be able to refresh or update the ingame server browser list anymore because the master server doesn't communicate between the client (you) and the servers (the BF1942 servers to be exact). You can still play on the servers you have added to your favourites, and you can still add servers MANUALLY with the ADD SERVER button, but you won't have a functional server browser anymore. How did this happen? Apparently the guy that gave us a new master server after the GameSpy server stopped working got fed up with the community and just quit, which means all people that have installed the GameSpy patch have now an obsolete patch.

Luckily, the Battlefield 1942 community consists of some great masterminds, and a group of server owners and administrators have come up with a patch for the game. It replaces the old GameSpy patch with a new patch that connects Battlefield 1942 to a new master server that is here to stay. Also this patch comes with a few additional fixes that should make the game more pleasant for everybody. I'm attaching the ReadMe under this post.

We're asking all of you to update your game accordingly, so that you guys can continue being part of this great community. Please use the links below to download and install this new fix:
