Thread Starter 
I recently Installed all of my battlefield 1942 games and i downloaded the desert combat mod, and when i go to load the map it wont let me play, it just shuts off and goes right back my desktop. I have the AW 7700, and i was really looking forward to having this game on my laptop. I also have an error problem installing Farcry, everytime i go to install it, it gives me an error about not finding and xfire installer file, then the install wizard terminates...So if you guys could help me it would be greatly appreiciated...thanks

Call Alienware Tech. This sounds like a Software issue. They will probably suggest you reinstall windows.

I dunno aurora, if you hang out at the offical dc forums, this is a major issue.

Profigy, i would suggest looking around there, i bet you will find an answer. I had this same problem, but it was because of my video card drivers. As soon as i updated, problem was fixed.

Hopefully some of this helps, good luck

This is probably way off, but you didn't get banned did you? I know in MoH Breakthrough if you get banned, the game shuts off and returns you to the desktop.

Yeah but if you install farcry in save mode then play the game in regular mode it doesnt mess it up or anything?

I have only seen a problem with DC crashing when I tried entering a server that was running a map that I didnt have.

well if your trying / need to install games in safe mode...then needless to say something is wrong. Ive been gaming for like 10 years and ive never considered / needed to install anything in safe mode.

Install BF1642 Patch it in this order
1.45.
1.6
1.6.1

Then install DC full
.7
then DC final
then there is a patch its 8.23 i belive and you get it off file planet or BFfiles

Also the game will kick itself back to the desktop if.
1. you are playing an unsupported map ie no .rfa for it
2. you are playing a map that dosnt have bots and you try to play it COOP
3. or you try and join a game that you dont have the map installed already.

PM me if you still have problems
