mortarman 0 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 For people buying a new computer last november 2019 came the first report that the new amd rx 5700 is having issues with battlefield 1942 having no crosshair visible. Please see link.http://team-simple.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7614 About a few weeks later I noticed somebody having similar issues on reddit please see link. https://www.reddit.com/r/classicbattlefield/comments/eb8idh/bf1942_no_crosshairs_and_broken_menu_windows_10/ then this year on discord I noticed another person having the same issues, then I got told that another person is having the same issues on Battlefield Vietnam which is not surprising because the Battlefield Vietnam uses exactly the same engine as battlefield 1942. see screenshot. and this https://helloclan.eu/threads/8990/ I have very little hope AMD is going to fix this driver issue on such a old game, therefore I have no other option then to do damage control and warn every Battlefield 1942 community about this issue. I attempted to get a popular topic on the amd subreddit I've been unsuccessful so far in order to get popular I needed upvotes see this.https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/ffge2m/rx_5000_series_owners_can_you_confirm_that/ However if AMD decides to fix the issue I will remove reports from every community forum I posted this on. only the future will tell what will happen. edit I am myself on rx580 I can run any driver from the latest or early versions and I have no problems with battlefield 1942. The rx 5700 is having issues from the beginning there for no other option but to force amd to fix it. Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Norris 114 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Isn't there any possibility to fix that by using the compatibility mode? That would be one last possibility that comes into my mind. Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck Norris 114 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 How about trying an older driver? Maybe that could work!? Link to post Share on other sites
mortarman 0 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Chuck Norris, um 26.3.2020 at 17:33: How about trying an older driver? Maybe that could work!? the issues with the drivers as far as I understand is from the start on the rx 5700 therefore you should just avoid this card altogether for now. because I do not have a solution for the problem, I have been trying to work out some Solutions but so far they haven't been very successful. Please spread this news across the internet I'm trying to do damage control here, it's the best I can do to keep people playing Battlefield 1942. Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Norris 114 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Maybe there is, by chance, a solution using a VM? I mean, that game's pretty old and getting it to work is some kind of a miracle on new machines. So I guess you'll have to accept it or get a different GPU. If I remember correctly, there hasn't been any difficulties using my RTX 2060. So it could be an issue with newer AMD GPUs?

mortarman 0 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Using a vm would only be a solution for the original Battlefield 1942. Virtual machines are very limited in how much graphical power they can put to use most of them have a virtual gpu and have no access to the actual GPU. Battlefield 1942 unlike modern battlefields has modification support therefore it is so much better then anything new coming out. We the battlefield 1942 community managed to Push this game so far that it looks like a modern game. The best example I can give you is fhsw it has custom reload animations beautifully textured maps over a 1000 different vehicles and ships. You just can't run this stuff on a virtual machine because it cannot handle it without significant lag being introduced. Getting Battlefield 1942 to work on a modern machine has never been an issue until now. so the drivers have to be fixed it's the only solution.
