Electronic Arts has released an updated version of the incremental v1.45 patch for Battlefield 1942. Previously released patch couldn't be applied if Battle of Britain map was installed, and the fixed patch should now work fine with the previous version 1.4 whether or not the map is installed.

After the 1.45 patch was released, we identified an issue with the incremental version of this patch. If a user installs BF 1942 under the following order:

BF 1942 > 1.4 Patch > Battle of Britain Free Map > 1.4 - 1.45 incremental patch, the incremental patch installer fails.

The incremental install works fine under the following order:

BF 1942 > 1.4 Patch > 1.4 - 1.45 incremental patch.

We have addressed this issue and wish to re-release the 1.45 incremental patch.

** IMPORTANT INFO INVOLVING AIR CONTROLS IN PATCH 1.45 **

Patch 1.45 has introduced 3 new AIR controls, located under CONTROLS in the OPTIONS menu, on the 2nd page of the AIR tab. If you have applied the 1.45 patch to an existing, previously played install of Battlefield 1942, you will need to define keys for these controls in order for them to work while playing.

For reference, if you apply the 1.45 patch to an installation of Battlefield 1942 that has not been previously played, the keys are setup by default as follows :

AIR Control Default Key
----------- -----------
GO TO POSITION 4 Key 4
GO TO POSITION 5 Key 5
GO TO POSITION 6 Key 6
