Outcast from JKOutcast

Heres the problem.

I have played JKO for several years now.

Not a big gamer but like a little FPS fun once in a while.

I got this new DELL PC and a new Router DLINK Extreme G

and running Nortons Internet Security with Of course M$ XP.

 

This game runs fine if installed on an old PIII not networked

but on my new rig it won't run the multi player.I thought it was a firewall issue, or Permission thing in the admin setting.

 

Try as i may it's still a no go.

 

Thought someone here might not mind starting a thread that might lead to a solution?

 

Thanks in advance for any random thoughts on what I must admit to be a very vauge issue .

 

Oh and I might add UT plays fine on both of my networked rigs, while JKO

is a no go on both.

single player is ok

the multi player starts to load then MS error report pops up and i can't read the load up text under the error report.

The weird thing is it runs so well on the PIII machine that Im about to sell.

This machine is new and I can't help but think it has something to do with the way XP acts with it.

I even loaded it on my lappy with XP and it will run there?

XP service pack issue maybe?

I had a bug with Dark Forces a few weeks ago which turned out to be some Windows hotfix that was preventing DOS games from running. Obviously, your problem isn't going to be identical, but try installing the latest updates etc from Windows and see where you get from there.

Failing that, an E-mail to Raven might be the only other option? :(

Oooh that seems like a little bugger, I feel sorry for ya dude.

 

and running Nortons Internet Security with Of course M$ XP.

 

Have you tried uninstalling this completely? (registry,folder..everything)

 

I bet you anything that this is your problem, then again you could easily prove me wrong here. :)

 

Also, could you provide a screen shot of the actual error/textdump?

 

On another note and with all due respect, it's my oppinion that not only will Norton products slow down your pc but they will also fail to protect you from the latest and greatest viruses. (sometimes it can't get the old ones)

 

I urge you to uninstall Norton.

 

Thanks in advance for any random thoughts on what I must admit to be a very vauge issue.

 

No problem, I hoped I helped.

Well i tried to uninstall Jedi and run Regedit for all jedi,lucas,starwars folders.

Then rebooted and install Jedi from a brand new legit disc. I ordered.

Still a no go.

I try bypassing my network and going straight to my PC from the modem,

disabling Norton and still get the msg

 

jk2wp.exe has encountered a problem and need to close.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Any other Thoughts on the issue would be greatly appreciated.

tell ya what I have heard works for a lot of people when they can't get it to run on a new machine.....

 

locate the jk2mp.exe and right click on it then find the option that says "run in windows 95 combatability mode" and apply and try again.

 

We have had so many people get their JK2 running only by using this option.
