FH ON WINDOWS 8!?!?
« on: 29-01-2013, 04:01:38 »
Is there anyway you can get either of the FH mods working on windows 8, I have battlefield 1942 working fine off of orgin, but the mod installer cant even run because its not compatible,any help?

Try compatibility modes, set it to Windows 7 or vista.

Hmmm BF1942 from Origin and mods. I don't think that is a happy combination. Plough through this post to get some help on installing mods for BF1942 from Origin. (http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=18297.0)

 FH.7 should work for you,   if you have problems, ask over at the Pixel-fighter community @ http://www.pixel-fighter.com/



Don't bother with FHSW,  IT WILL NOT WORK with Origin

I've looked around that forum for an hour, found nothing. IT said a toolbar could get me it to work on origin but I did not know how to use that after I installed it(there was no prompt to download FH)

It works fine for me.

#jonyman23 You can try this fixed installer: ftp://85.214.86.156/Mappacks/Mods/Forgotten_Hope_0.7_origin_win7.exe

Hi,
your last error sounds like a firewall problem. Make sure that your Windows Firewall does not block BF42/FH0.7 from connecting to the internet.

I\

I went to Windows firewall and allowed both public and private access to battlefield 942, there was no FH on the list. Anyway I went to load an instant battle, still no luck. I tried to go into multiplayer but it froze as soon as I clicked on multiplayer(this might be my wifi).
Anyway. no luck

Jonyman this first time you click on Multiplayer in BF42 it wants to refresh and ping all the servers. Might be your Router is flagging this as unwanted behaviour and blocking it.
Otherwise wait 60 seconds and see if the list with servers appears.
