  He needs the patch.  Where do you get it?  (Why am I the one asking?  I dunno)

[Deederz]

Ok we got it thanks guys. >_>

[Crane]

I bought NOX again (for $3, my old CD got a chip in it)
Installed game,
Downloaded and installed NoxQEng12.exe
Downloaded and installed XWIS

I can now connect to "Westwood Online" but it doesn't show anyone in the games list.  I checked the http://nox.guildgames.net/who.php?sort=server
Nox Players Online and it says they are playing.

I even tried to type the users name in myself (for Page User or Find User) and it says they aren't online.
I have no option to change servers, just the XCC WOL IRC Server which happens to be 195.13.63.187/195.13.63.187

How can I find other people to play with?

[philliyxx]

Nox fully patched?

[Crane]

Yeah, I downloaded and installed NoxQEng12.exe

Installed game
installed NoxQEng12.exe
installed xwis

tried to play

do I need anything else?

[AASoft]

IIRC there is no XWIS installation. Try installing it again, but dont install XWIS, and see what appens.

[RogueTeddyBear]

i think he means he's using xwis, try reseting it... or just not using it.

[Crane]

When I start it I go to muliplayer
It gives me the only option of "XCC WOL IRC Server"
XCC Online 489 players RA2:478 Nox:1

looks like that 1, is me

I tried running it without xwis program on


Edit: Okay, I loaded up xwis again and selected "Reset (WOL)" rather then "Set (XWIS)" and it said there was an update of 109206 bytes.  It now is stuck at 100%.
It never told me about updates before

Okay, that last edit is covered at the start of this thread, I'm going to try to make that work

edit2: Which compatibility mode?  Win95, Win98, 2000? and I am using nox.exe, not game.exe
Date Posted: April 26, 2006, 12:44:57 AMI'm screwed now, i tried to manually patch it and now it restarts my computer (after a prompt about patching) everytime I try to run NOX

Okay, I was able to get it to work by putting BOTH Nox.exe and game.exe in 98 compatibility mode
I have to run Game.exe because everytime I click on nox.exe it says it needs to restart my computer to patch nox.

Start over. Use the Nox Download linked in the picture in my signature. Since I know it isn't defective, there shouldn't be any problems with the steps it gives you.

Compatibility.. I think... 98? That really is something you can just trial and error until it works.

Also note, you have NO use for the Xwis tool. If you used that before you ever tried to go online, that would account for a couple things. When you uninstall Nox(save character files to your desktop if you really want to keep them) make sure you uninstall 'shared internet components'.

[BURN3R]

Compat should be on game.exe and set to 98/ME, after downloading the patches within nox, close nox, run nox.exe and it will apply the patches, after that just run game.exe to start nox or run the no-cd loader.

[Zoa]

The guy got it to work. He should leave it as it is.

[Gun-Smoke]

I have a problem, i posted it millions of times but "NOONE" knows what wrong. I can't host on nox, i have no firewall nor a router... so yeah wtf
