    No intro and direct connect to TG Server

    This is the startup string I use. It bypasses the startup movie and intro and connects directly to the TG server and bypasses the profile screen.

    "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +game DesertCombat +restart 1 +joinServer 209.19.57.201:14567

    thanks

    Thanks for the shorter cut.
    Anything to help load faster. I just had to make sure that the "S" in server was capitalized. I thought it was a typo but it didn't work till I switched it back.

    Go to the properties of the shortcut for Battlefield and add these parameters:
    +game DesertCombat +restart 1 +joinServer 209.19.57.201:14567
    Make sure the parameters are outside of the quotes for the BF executable path. Or, use the All-Seeing Eye and connect with that. I use it and just have to double-click on the server listed.

    I also rename the BF intro movies to something else so they don't play on startup. It's useful if you're ever going into SP for some practice.

    I do. I thought wrong, as my wife often tells me.
    I did that name change for the intro movies too. Wish there was a feature to turn them off.

    This is the shortcut for playing MP on the TG server:

    "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +game DesertCombat +restart 1 +joinServer 209.19.57.201:14567

    This is the shorcut for playing SP or any other server:

    "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +game DesertCombat +restart 1

    You can still delete the files in the Movies directory of BF. No intro and you'll get back ~40Mb.
