Installing/running Ns 2.0 On Dod Retail

<div class="IPBDescription">problems!</div> So I posted that thread where NS 1.0 wouldn't install on DoD retail.

Now that 2.0 is out, it does install, but it doesn't work right.

If I join a game, sometimes it will leave me in the ready room on the scoreboard, but I am actually playing.

The graphics blur like crazy all over the place sometimes.

Everytime I die, it's like the game just started and you hear the beginning "ding, ding ding".

I can't change weapons.

My right moust button doesn't work.

Does anyone else have this issue with DoD retail and NS 2.0?

    1.4 Ghz proc /w 256 MB RAM and a 32 MB ATI All-in-wonder Rage 128 Pro. Open GL mode. Voodoo 2 in the system too, but disabled through device manager (doesn't run too well on newer games). Oh, and I run 640x480 on this machine.

    I thought this would have been a widespread problem, but apparently not?

    Before this gets suggested, yes, I did uninstall NS and DoD, and re-installed both cleanly.

    There seems to be an issue (and this affects the DOD retail users when playing DOD also) of connecting to servers that are using older server versions. Until we can figure out what works where, you should just find some servers that work and stick to those.
