I got sick of playing BF1942 when none of the servers updated to patch 1.40. I'm gonna install it agian if they don't release a patch for 3 months because all of the servers take such a long time to update, many weren't updated even after a month.

RGH! I just downloaded and installed DC .38d on my computer yesterday...
