JusTiTiA BluE and The@Ripper having troubles on windows 10

[JUSTiTiA BluE]

Hi. Today we tried to install CJ again, having this game in our hearts after mapping thousands of hours and having fun and frustration on dedit. After klicking on the cj exe we can choose install or custom, but we cant join the game. Are there any servers? How to install on win10 ??

Follow the steps one of the community did to get their NOLF2 working HERE

To answer your CJ server question.  I can't run one presently due to the lack of 99% of the users of this site not contributing to keeping things running etc. 

I'm already floating most of the costs here on my own these days. Sorry. 

[JUSTiTiA BluE]

I am sad to read this. You do a great job here, really. You sound frustrated . I donated just once . May i ask what your total cost  for one year is? After several years of fun on nolf2 and CJ we played new games like Rage and GTA5, always wondering why the nolf series ended after nolf2. The game is so lovely and highly creative. Thank you for your link and have a wonderfull weekend and merry Christmas Eliteone !

I see that URA is hosting a retail server in Qtracker now

URA has a good host, I connect… but there is no sniper gun there.
Interestingly, …  the server will crash if TP555 connects ... ?
To play online there are 2 ways
1. First way:

Install Qtracker and connect via Qtracker menu
https://www.qtracker.com/download-sections.php?section=0,2,13

right click on Qtracker and in the properties specify compatibility with Windows XP SP3

Now, set the path to the game:
choose the game Contract JACK - right-click - Connect - now - Browse - select the game folder - select ContractJack.exe - Apply - Ok
Then connect to the game:
choose Contract JACK game - right click - Connect - now
2. If you don't like the first way, then use this patch:
https://www.moddb.com/games/contract-jack/downloads/package-online-multilingual-2014
and connect via the game menu: : Contract JACK – Play- Multiplayer - Join
Who wants to have more, ...  download it

Hi all

@Orion98

lol , which Server did ever Crash ,  yours  

@Spawn

Hi , very very long Time not seen you 

Yes URA have a HighSpeed Connection 120/20+

 

@JUSTiTiA BluE

CJ works fine under Windows 8.1 , under 10 i can't nothing say yet , but you can try DgVoodoo 2.54 which alot Fix for newer OS

And for a Graphics Improve use Reshade.

Ask URA he have a better Widescreen Patch , which Fix Resolutions about 2048x/x , and supports all Wide Aspects  16:9 - 21:9

http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2_54.zip

https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_3.3.2.exe

 

Nolf 1 , works too fine with DgVoodoo + Reshade

A CJ Video comming soon ....

 

Edit , ok this will fix your problem  , is an issue with 64Bit

Create a File named  example.reg and paste this :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Monolith Productions\Contract Jack]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Monolith Productions\Contract Jack\1.0]
"Num Launcher Runs"=dword:00000000
"EndGame"=dword:00000000
"InstallDir"=".\\"
"ProfileName"="Player"
"UpdateNum"=dword:00000001
"UpdateCommandLine0"="-rez Update_v1x1.rez"

Original String is under :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Monolith Productions\Contract Jack\1.0]  which works only under 32Bit

This works for all Nolf 1/2 CJ ! , all need the Wow6432Node  !!

After paste , double Click it and let import the Reg. !

Or you can too bypass the Launcher :

look in your launchcmds.txt

Create a new batch file : Example  run.bat or another , and paste the follow from your Launchcmds.txt

Example : lithtech.exe -windowtitle "Contract J.A.C.K." -rez GAME.rez -rez sound.rez -rez GAMEdll.rez -rez Update_v1x1.rez -rez WideScreenFix_v1.15.rez +multiplayer 0  +DisableMusic 0 +DisableSound 0 +DisableJoystick 1 +DisableTripBuf 1 +DisableHardwareCursor 1 +DisableHardwareSound 0 +DisableSoundFilters 0 +lockablebackbuffer 0 +SetPerformanceLevel .DefaultLow +ScreenWidth 1024 +ScreenHeight 768 +BitDepth 32  +fovx 121.284500 +fovy 73.739789 +fovxinterface 121.284500 +pvmodelfov 65 +pvmodelaspect 2.133165 +ScreenWidth 2560 +ScreenHeight 1080 +BitDepth 32

Yeah, been hiding elsewhere. Now I have 10 years of nolf urge that needs to act out somehow

My favorite sollution though, "downgrade" to windows 7 and get control back
