This mod provides several improvements to Battlefield 1942.
Copy dsound.dll into your game directory.
If you already have a modded dsound.dll in your game directory, rename it to dsound_next.dll, it will keep working!
If you want to enable some optional features, take a look at bf42plus.ini in the game directory. This file is automatically created if it doesn't exist.
The DLL has a builtin updater, so it can replace itself with newer versions. When there is an update available, a window will appear on startup, with the details of the new update. You have the option to postpone updating or apply the update.
