Well, I'm sure most of you already know this, so don't go about yelling at me that you already did, obviosly, it's for the people who didn't!

If you have Windows XP, and are expirencing an issue with and ONLY with BF1942 whereas the game slows down constantly, espically when in a large area of AI/MP players, this may be due to you having the Windows XP Service Pack 1. I found my demo of BF1942 running as smooth as ever. Once I got the retail version, I wondered what went wrong. Then, I discovered it was the SP1 after all.

My suggestion to you all is to uninstall it, reboot, and get the hotfixes. After uninstallation of the SP1, XP will return any hotfixes you had before the installation of the pack. Then, run BF1942, and see if it fixes your slowdown. Hopefully, EA or Microsoft will release a hotfix to fix this issue, or re-release the SP1 as SP1a.
