Problem with xp with built in sp2 - not installed manually.

Many times I tried to solve sp2 error with different players on kali. Guys who installed sp2 by themselves can play cos new dosx.exe works. Guys who have sp2 with windows already are unlucky ones. Switching this exe wont work. Adding new exe wont work also. Maybe guys which i helped to, did something wrong. But in my opinion new sp2 windows blocks moo2 over kali.

Just to add a data point, I recently got a new PC which came with SP2 installed. MOO2 1.40 over Kali, launched via desktop icon (not Kali launcher) worked fine from the beginning with zero difficulties.

Perhaps I'm one of the lucky ones, I don't know, but it seemed to work exactly as advertised.

I tested to get moo2 running on a win_xp_sp2 installd PC.

I installed kali and moo2 ... !

First I copyd dosx_sp1.exe to the system32 folder. I opend autoexec.nt and changed the following

Code: Select all

lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
to

Code: Select all

h %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx_sp1
But this doesnt worked :( !

I copyd dosx_sp1.exe to my desktop, I opend autoexec.nt and changed the following

Code: Select all

lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx_sp1
to

Code: Select all

lh C:\DOKUME~1\ADMINI~1\Desktop\dosx_sp1.exe
Then I tryed again and it worked.

... later I´ll test a bit more ...

I have just spent about 3-4 hours with Alex|D trying to
get MOO2 running over Kali..
Read everything easily found on the net..
updated. RKernel, dosx_sp1, modified autoexec2.nt so on...
Only, my MOO2 is not installed, but it has the Orion2 exe
file.

I'm not behind an NAT. I have the necessary ports
opened on firewall..

Finally, I got past the comm failure. Then, game would
just start, but would be invisible to others/they can't join.
The same with me attempting to join other games.

Later, we tried the windows version, and found out
it runs over Kali.

With dos, it's still the same.
