JK2 1.02 MP run problem

Post by FuBAR »

Ok, I've tried to come back to the world of Jedi Outcast, but my computer dosent want me to play it under 1.02.I can run Singleplayer in 1.02, I can run SP in 1.04 and multiplayer in 1.04.But I cant run MP under 1.02. The console comes up, then just closes, no error message, nothing. I even patched JK2 with 1.04, then used the 1.02 MP hack, and it still wont run.I am currently using a P4 3.20GHz1 gig of ramATI All-in-wonder x600 The JK2 diagnostic comes up fine and I can run it beautifully, excpet 1.02 multiplayer. Does anyone have a clue as to whats wrong, or am I just lucky?

FuBAR! :D The first thing to try is right-click on the jk2mp.exe, then go to properties and compatability and try running it under win95 or 98/ME. Make sure you're using the Start-MP loader to run the multiplayer and not any of the other cracks out there since they don't work well at all. Get the loader from here:http://www.fouclan.com/downloads/Start-MP.exeThrow it in your GameData folder and use that to run multiplayer. If you've already used a crack on your jk2mp.exe you'll need to restore the original copy.If you've applied the 1.04 patch then tried removing it this can sometimes cause problems too. I'll send you a PM with further details, it'll be good to have another old school player back on the JK2 scene!

Kickass! Fresh install, compatibility mode win 95 640x480, runs like a charm.So simple, yet I overlooked it since the game ran fine in SP and even MP if patched.Thanks Snape, and heres seeing you FoU guys around jk2 :wink:
