Strange that. I don't know what to suggest.

I know that another patch is soon to be released so hopefully that will fix your problems.

I have
Athlon1.4GHz
512MB
Geforce 3 Ti200

And it's fine. Slows down online when there's a lot of people in one place but I put that down to lag. At least that's what I hope it is!

The only tweak I know you can do is to adjust the refresh rate in game. Use the latest patch, browse to the games dir and open
:\Battlefield 1942\Settings\VideoDefault.com

Where it says
renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0

Change that to
renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1

Restart and you should be able to select your refresh rates in the options menu in-game.

All settings for me are on high apart from Environment Mapping - that is turned off.

Try setting the AI cpu setting lower - its the only thing that helps when I play single player.

I tried Diable Sounds to see if it ran better for me - it improved loads! Other people have reported problems with Soundblaster Live! cards. Looks like I may need to go and buy a new one. Augidy thiny.

weird m8, i got the same XP2100, 512 PC2700 DDR, and geoforce 2 titanium, and the games runs fine for me m8, so there is no reason it shouldnt work for you as you got the better graphic card

What soundcard do you have freaky?

[Freaky]

i got a soundblaster live m8, and i have no problem with ANY games regarding sound.

BUT the hitman that came out that was supposed to have a bad crac, looks like it was a soundblaster issue, someone posted this, they said go into dxdiag and lower the sound hardware, i did this and it worked with the fix aswell

hmmm I got a 1gig intel, 512mb ram, XP , gforce 2pro 64mb ddr and soundblaster live it runs fine at 1024x768 with everything on max. gets a little choppy on the 40 player servers but its fine with 24 players

Well I went out and bought an SB Audigy (around 55 quid). And all the frame out problems have gone.
There's a few weird sounds here and there while playing the game but Dice will fix those in the next patch.

I could tell the sound quality was much better as soon as it started up. I'll need to get better speakers now.

if you've got a s/b card then go to the sound options and click on hardware acceleration and it seems to sort the slowdown problem out.
