Credits

Battlefield 1943 Reborn is made by TekRantGaming, with players who test it and report problems. Agentic AI tools were used to assist in its development.

It stands on the work of others:

  • ReXGlue SDK (BSD 3 Clause), derived from Xenia: the recompiler and runtime.
  • NativeXRenderer by Gustavo Garcia (MIT): the Vulkan renderer.
  • GHMetalRecomp (MIT): its NativeXRenderer profile, which Battlefield's started from.
  • King Kong Recompiled by TekRantGaming and contributors (MIT): the ambient occlusion, global illumination and camera work, and much of what we learned.
  • DiligentCore (Apache 2.0), SPIRV Cross (Apache 2.0) and volk (MIT): the renderer's foundations.
  • XeGTAO by Intel (MIT), AMD FidelityFX (MIT), NVIDIA Image Scaling (MIT), SMAA (MIT style) and NVIDIA DLSS (NVIDIA RTX SDKs licence): libraries the renderer is built with.
  • FFmpeg (its decoders only) and libmspack, both LGPL 2.1, in the runtime.
  • vgmstream (ISC): the layout of the game's menu music.
  • Oswald (SIL Open Font Licence): the menus' font.
  • Button prompts: Xelu's Free Controllers and Keyboard Prompts by Nicolae Berbece (CC0) and Input Prompts by Kenney (CC0).

Every download includes the full licence texts in its licences folder.

The trailer

All footage in the trailer was captured in the game, from an early playtest build. Music: "Battlefield 1942 Theme Remake" by E. Hartmann.

Privacy

This website

The website uses no cookies, no analytics and no forms. Two things reach other companies, both from your own browser:

  • The home page asks GitHub's public API for the latest version number, and remembers the answer until you close the tab.
  • The trailer loads from YouTube, in its privacy mode, only when you press Play.

The game

  • Playing online, the backend sees the name you chose and your IP address, as any game server does.
  • Share graphics data, on by default in Settings, Gameplay, Sharing, sends the graphics pipelines your game builds to our server, at most every 15 minutes and only when something new was built, so the next update has them ready and everyone gets less stutter. That is render settings and shader numbers: no game files, no name, nothing about you.
  • The game's own Telemetry setting changes nothing: its reports went to the original servers, which are gone.
  • Settings, logs and crash reports stay on your PC, in the folder user.
