Ok so here is the deal. I finally got this working. What you need is VNC or a simular program loaded on the dedicated server Remote Desktop logging will not work. Once you have installed VNC then run the install program to install the game to your hard drive. Now patch the install. After the patch completes change the shortcut icon by the way nova explains to the /serveonly.

Now the tricky part, close the game do not run it yet.

1.

Let's start with enabling the Hardware acceleration on our graphics card. Simply right click anywhere on your desktop and select Properties -> Settings tab -> Advanced -> and finally, the Troubleshoot tab.

Now move the Hardware acceleration slider across to Full

Click OK

You may experience a monitor black out for a few seconds, this is normal.

2.

We now want to enable the full capabilities of DirectX. To do this, go to Start -> Run -> and type dxdiag followed by enter. You will get a dialog box asking if you want to allow dxdiag to access the internet to check for valid WHQL certificates - click on Yes.

Let's click on the Display tab, now click on all three boxes to enable DirectDraw, Direct3D and AGP Texture Acceleration.

3.

upgrade your directX to 9.0b and then update your onboard vid drivers.

4.

Restart the computer then login via VCN.

5.

 Click on the short cut you made to launch Joint operations. In the past this is where the sysdump.text stopped you, now you should be able to continue with no errors and set your server up.

*For those of you that have the ati rage 8mb pci card installed on your server, simply submit a ticket to have the card removed and use the onboard video to fix your problem with the steps above.*

Click on the PING text in your NovaWorld game list.

This will sort the games based on PING, the lower the PING the better game play that server will offer you.

ping is the time it takes information travelling from your computer to the host computer and back.usually in miliseconds, but some laggers have 1000ms, which is 1 sec lag



so like, you jogged to the store and back. how long it took you to do it (there and back)would be considered, "your ping" time.

This is a possible solution for router or firewall users that are getting code NWEC15, NWEC16 and NWEC17 errors.

You will need to open ports 32768, 49152, 64206, and 7597 (all UDP, not TCP ports) in the port forwarding ranges. You'll also want to make sure that you have the latest firmware updates to your router.
