For Battlefield 1942 Anthology

What it changes

Runs the community widescreen patch installer against an existing Battlefield 1942 installation. It does not include the game or either expansion.

Battlefield 1942 was drawn for the monitors of its time. On a modern widescreen display, its original presentation can feel cramped or stretched. This optional patch opens up higher-resolution play while leaving the battles, vehicles, classes, and maps you remember intact. PlayBound fetches the archive from its existing distributor, checks it against the exact file supplied for curation, and opens the patch installer for your installed World War II Anthology. Windows may ask you to approve the installer; finish its setup before launching the game again. Keep your original game installer handy if you ever want to restore the unpatched files.

Compatibility: Windows Battlefield 1942: World War II Anthology, version 1.61. The patch installer may request administrator approval.

Install with the PlayBound Launcher

The launcher installs this into ./ for Battlefield 1942 Anthology. If the base game is missing, it will install that first.
