DF2 Hosting

I hosted a DF2 deathmatch server named "The PlayGround" for about 7 years before moving on to other games. I decided that I wanted to try hosting again because I missed the game but when I try to put the server up, it's not showing in the lobby.

I heard there had been a lot of changes and was told the best way to get into a DF2 server was through DF2 Pinger, which I was able to do . . . but I can't host.

I have ports 3568 (UDP) and 3569 (UDP) open.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Notes By STEVE

PROBLEM:
Why can't I update my game?

RESOLUTION:
If you cannot use the Update Game option on the main menu of the game first check with your Internet Provider to find out if you can connect to an ftp server. All of our in-game update servers are ftp domain servers.

You may need to upgrade your game to the most recent available version in order to see and play on all games available on Novaworld.

Either use the built-in update utility or try downloading the patch for your particular game directly from our website at www.novalogic.com. This will ensure a complete and accurate update to your game.

Contact you ISP & ask them if they are using Page Caching on their server. If they are, have them add this address to their BYPASS LIST: http://novaworld.net for the Novaworld games.

Page Cache takes a copy of our Novaworld game page. And when you connect you go to that copy page. Problem is the Page Cache page does not update as often as the Novaworld pages. So as the Novaworld & Public games pages refresh, adding and subtracting games, your ISP page stays as you first see it.

Notes By STEVE

PROBLEM:
My options for Quick Missions & Campaigns are greyed out.

RESOLUTION:
For some reason, your computer isn\'t recognizing your CD.

Check the following before playing:

1. Make sure the CD is in the CD rom drive.
2. Check the DF2.CD file in your Delta Force 2 folder. Open the cd file with NotePad. Make sure the letter found in that file corresponds with your CD rom drive letter. If not, simply type in the appropriate letter.
3. a. Go to the Control Panel on windows.
b. Select System.
c. Select Device Manager.
d. Make sure your CD rom drive is visible on this list. If you don\'t see it, you will need to reinstall your CD rom drive in windows. Check your windows manual for more information on installing hardware in windows.
4. If you have a removable hard disk or Zip drive, your drive letters may be shuffled. Make sure that your CD rom drive letter is the same as it was when you originally installed the game.

Funnily if all still doesn't work run the installer again and tick "Repair" this seems to fix the connection problems on some systems

Another trick to get 1024x768 resolution

Open df.cfg and set as so..

// DISPLAY
video_type = 2
game_res = 10

then go to the settings it will display Resolution as "Hardware". Click the left arrow and you will see the 1024x768 resolution setting

Try that utility. Specifically, ensure you're completely updated and apply the Vista fix (even if you don't have Vista).

Yes that NoCD EXE will fix it too, I fix mine with the REPAIR command after installing the patch (update)

The lobby currently is showing Private servers but it tends to crash or freeze at the moment but LAN play may still be OK

You can still play Single Player and Campaign along with User made missions downloaded here... for old times sake.

I downloaded and ran the DF2 update and applied the "No CD Patch" and the game is running normally now. However, when I try to host, my server is still not showing in the Lobby. Ports are open and I even DMZed the router . . . no good. Firewall is disabled for now.

Some time back I tried hosting with the "Logmein Himache" or whatever its called. I was able to host a couple of times. That was when df2omg was around. I didn't like the Himache thing because it took over my network.

Any more suggestions?? I'm chomping at the bit to get a server up!!

That info is over a year old but I tried it anyway . . . didn't work. I think df2omg.com came out after that and it worked OK for a while. As I said earlier, you had to use the "logmein Himache" with it.

There has to be a way because I can see servers open. I have no problem joining a game. I just can't host.
