Joint operations online

**berty** · 1st July 2004

Alright folks,Can anyone tell me if i can use a backup of joint operations typhoon rising online or does it detect it and throw u out?.................

Try it and find out.... :nowords: :whistle

It all depends on the server settings and also the way you connect (via Gamespy etc).. most of these have lists of CD keys which are 'out there' and wont let you connect if you have one.. others actually check the size of the exe file before allowing connection....

And some just let you in... :thumbs

The game requires 2 keys. One for installing the game and the other for logging into Novaworld. You also need seperate keys to play it across a LAN.
If I can recommend any online war game then it would be this one. I consider it to be much better than Battlefield. Had a blast whilst I was a beta tester for it.
When I get time I will buy this myself.

It's worth every penny to go out an buy a legit version.

Online play is awesome, with some massive battles but most of all, its a good laugh, something thats missing from most games.

Our 48 Player CO-OP server is the ideal place to learn the game.

If you fancy a blast then have a looksie here;

If it's a 'backup' then you'll still have the original cd-key, won't you? If you've 'lost' your 'backup' then you'll need to buy a new one.... :whistle

**DaveTheRave** · 10th July 2004

im having real problems getting this game online (legit copy!) it hangs on the novaworld connecting screen, ive opened my router ports but nothing :grr:

can anyone help as the novaworld forums are W@nk

**Shinobi** · 11th July 2004

I normally get that with my firewall. It sits in the background waiting for authorisation and sometimes I can't alt-tab to it. Very annoying....

See if you can alt-tab to it.

**DaveTheRave** · 11th July 2004

i tried disabling my firewall, even tried uninstalling the fooker, nothing worked

**matski_98** · 31st July 2004

I haven't played it for a couple of weeks because the International Servers were down and wouldn't let me log in. I've been playing it today though and all seems well again.

Try it again now.

I did have a lot of problems with JO when I first played it in it's beta form.
I couldn't connect to Novaworld for love nor money but found that Norton Firewall just sat in the background waiting for permission to allow it to connect. Bloody annoying thing about it was that it happened everytime I updated the beta version.

Dave - You may have already looked but if not, check this to make sure that the program file for JO (I think it is JOINTOPS.exe) and even the update file (UPDATE.EXE) is not in the list of blocked programs within the firewall program. Apparently, even with the firewall program turned off it may still be getting blocked. Sounds mad but people have reported this.

Obviously, this is only applicable if you have a software firewall, such as Norton or similar. Let me know and I'll help the best I can.
