Me gots a kind of problem here...

[The March Hare]

For some reason or another, I can't connect to the Jazz2 server list (which means I can't play over the net, which is really bad). I don't recall ever changing my server list, so maybe that's it. I played over the net once a couple of years ago so its not like I've never done it before. :)

Anyways... HELP!!!

Thank you.

http://www.jazz2online.com/index.php?offset=21 <-----the first newspost here has the list server reg patch aiko made.

[The March Hare]

It says it adds Monolith's server to the list... but would it solve my problem?

I'm still confused.

Quite a while back, when TSF was released, the listservers changed. A patch was made to have version 1.23 access the new servers. Not sure where to find it now, though.

Yeah, i had the same problem until i got the listserver patch. The only way i could play online was to download from J2O.

Actually, if my memory serves me right, the problem already were there before TSF got released. Just because Epic thought it costed to much money to keep a two year old game online.

The Logicware servers do just the same but is actually ment for the Mac version. Jeh knew about this and fixed us a patch.

Here...I can explain how to fix it:


into your registry (Start-->Run-->"regedit")
Go into the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Go into the subkey "Software"
Go into the subkey "Epic Megagames"
Go into the subkey "Jazz Jackrabbit 2"
Go into the subkey "1.23"
Go into the subkey "List Servers" (or server lists; can't remember)
Add and\or change the string values so it looks like this:

<pre>
(default) No value
000 "jazz.logicware.com"
001 "monolith.idlegames.com"
002 "list.jazzjackrabbit.com"
</pre>

And it is done! Yay!


TIP: Don't do it like this if you are worried about digging into the registry; get a patch instead

So where can I get the patch... because that's what I think the problem is (if worst comes to worst I'll try to manually change the registry... but I don't trust myself :D).

Thanks for your help, ya'll.

Better get my patch located at J2O
Go to Downloads, then Other section and look for a file called:
"Jazz 2 List Servers built into .exe file"
It works with 1.23, there is another version for TSF, but use that one now.

Replace your old Jazz2.exe with the one on there, the new list servers are built on it and it's faster than the normal one.
Give it a try.
And if you don't like it just backup your old Jazz2.exe and done.
