Open the ‘Start’ menu in your task bar and type ‘regedit’ in the search field (or hit the ‘Windows’ button + ‘r’ if you do not have Windows vista/7)
Navigate to the following location(s). The locations vary depending on your OS version:
(FOR 64bit OS) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\
Origin\Battlefield 1942\
ergc // that doesn t exist in default DL!
(FOR 32bit OS) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\
Origin\Battlefield 1942\
ergc
In this folder you´ll find a file named ‘Default’. The File Type should be
‘REG_SZ’. Right click this file and select ‘Modify’ from the drop down menu
Delete every number or letter you might find in the field you can see now and insert your Battlefield 1942 Productcode without spaces.
To find your Battlefield 1942 Productcode please open your ‘My Games’ Section in Origin, mouse over Battlefield 1942 and select the ‘i’ button for the game information section. In the window you can see now you´ll find your Productcode. You can copy and paste the code just like it is, without spaces.
Once you have completed the steps above, start Battlefield 1942 and attempt to join a Multiplayer Game as usual.
