This problem doesn't appear to be related to the server you're trying to join. Your log is saying "VID: DirectDraw check skipped on user request," which suggests that -noddraw is being used as a command line argument. My JJ2 crashes the same way whenever I use that argument. Incidentally, it doesn't crash when I use -noddrawwin in addition to -noddraw, so you can try that. This is something I probably should look into more deeply.
