After a long break, in 2026, I reinstalled Contract JACK on my PC, Windows 10 21H2 x64 system I received an unusual "surprise" : an incorrigible error "Catastrophic failure"(!) when trying to install patch 1.1, if the game is installed on disks E : or disk C : (!) If the game is installed on disk D : then patch 1.1 was installed normally, without error… After 10-12 attempts to install this patch, I admitted defeat and simply reinstalled Windows from backup (2 years ago, after installing Windows, I made a copy of the System (backup) with the Macrium Reflect program)… After that, the game and patch 1.1 were installed on both disk E : and disk D : and disk C : without errors.… NOTE: Previously, in 2023-2025, I installed/deleted many different programs on the Windows 10 21H2 x64 system and possibly changed some system files or Registry.… I think that in this case, the "Catastrophic failure" error is an indicator of the "health" of your Windows System..

When HeyJake made his mod "Modernizer2 Beta 2C " for Nolf2 Ver.1.3. he also modified the dedicated server file (this is the Nolf2SRV.exe file). Unfortunately, HeyJake did not write instructions on how to now install a Dedicated server for DM, TDM, DD. Spawn writes that the Dedicated server (Nolf2Srv.exe file) with the "Modernizer2 Beta 2C" mod uses Rez-files https://www.spawnsite.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=792 ...\Custom\Resources\*.rez ...\Custom\Mods\Modernizer\Modernizer.rez Game (Folder) Game.rez Game2.rez GameFll.rez Sound.rez Game1.rez Gamep.rez Gamep2.rez There is no the "Update_v1x3.rez" file (nolf2 ver.1.3) in this list, therefore, To start the dedicated server DM, TDM, DD, Spawn offers: 1. Make a copy of the Update_v1x3.rez file and rename this copy as “Gamep.rez”. There is no Gamep.rez file in the official game folder, so this method works. This is very useful information, thanks to Spawn! ... Further, Spawn does not write anything, but it is obvious that you also need to install 2 official Mappacks: nolf2_mappack01 & nolf2_mappack02 and then add them to the "Modernizer2 Beta 2C" mod. Located here in the downloads section. 2. To add Mappacks for the multiplayer DM, TDM, DD (for Nolf2 Ver.1.3), these are 2 methods: Method(a). Copy files mappack001.rez (this is an official DM-Mappack) and Mappack002.Rez (this is an official DD-Mappack) to the game on the way : ...\Custom\Resources\ Method(b). ... Or combine the files mappack001.rez and mapped002.rez to one file "Gamep2.rez" and copy this file to the game folder. There is no "Gamep2.rez" file in the official game folder, so this method works. You can use WinRezLT.exe to combine rez-files *Link removed. File at link had virus detected. Please confirm files are safe before sharing links - Eliteone. You can get a safe version from our downloads HERE Dedicated server for Co-op mode (LAN or Internet) Is not necessary to install a new mappack, everything is in the official version of the game. If you want each participant of the joint game to have an individual appearance (35 variants including the female characters Isako and Cate Archer, see the picture), then Download and Install Modernizer2_2c_GUI_v2_1.7z (50Mb) (multi-language Modernizer). Then copy and replace to the game folder the "Custom" folder from the "Co-op" folder "Modernizer2_2c_GUI_v2_1". You can play with your friends in Co-op mode for all 15 Missions of the game. If you install the original (single-language) version of Modernizer2_2 c, then all participants in the joint game will have almost the same appearance (four men in jackets or raincoats). Note The Co-op(Modernizer) mod with advanced character selection(35) is incompatible with the classic Co-op(Modernizer) mod, where there are only 4 characters The player and the server must install the same versions of the Modernizer mod. Otherwise, you will get the error "You have been banned or kicked from the server" *** Why did these problems? In the official version of Nolf2 Ver 1.3. There is no problem! The official Dedicated server (this is Nolf2Srv.exe) uses the "Register" to search for Update_v1x3.rez, Mappack002.rez and Mappack001.rez This was probably done for compatibility with Nolf2 Ver.1.0. When Heyjake modified the dedicated server file, he did not use the registry to search for these files. Why did he do it? Perhaps he had reasons ..
