Attention! About NoCd patch

It was taking my attention that alot is going on about banning and restricting access to NW servers when using a 3rd party program or NoCd patches.
I was unaware of this since I play only public servers.
So I did a test to be able to inform you all what is going on.
Ofcourse I can only tell you about my NoCd patch, not about the use of 3rd party programs.

NL recently changed their policy (eg. restricted use of a name). What follows is a consequence of that policy.

I logged in on my account, choosed a name and joined a NW game. After app. a minute I was kicked out and got the following screen...

http://users.pandora.be/veetje/Suspended.jpg

What is the consequence?
The username that was active when you joined the NW game got suspended, restricted, banned, whatever...
You will not be able to join a NW game under that name anymore, or better put: under that slot number (you have 4 slots).
If you try, you will get a nagscreen with the code 650. You will get that screen also when you enter you account after starting the game, but you can continue.
So, you may forget that slot because even trying to change the name on that slot or deleting it, will not succeed because it's restricted.

Is my account still valid?
Ofcourse it is, it stays valid. But instead of four slots you have three of them.

Conclusion
USE THE CD AND ORIGINAL EXE (NOT ONLY THE CD) IF YOU PLAY NW GAMES
The use of my NoCd patch, which is incorporated in the CoopMeNow patch, has no influence if you serve or play public games.

Note
Even if you join a public server through your account, you will get the nagscreen mentioned above (code 650) if you use the "restricted" name or names.
So you have two choices:
1. you want to join through your account: choose another nameslot
2. you don't want to use your account: bypass the login and go straight to the game

So there would not be a misunderstanding...
the above applies also when joining a public server that requires novalogin!!!

To make it easy: if you use the novalogin -> USE THE CD AND ORIGINAL EXE (NOT ONLY THE CD)

I apologize sincerely to the ones that used my patch and got a restricted slot because of it :barfy:

A last remarque: not only my No-Cd patch got the boot.

Whenever something is changed to the exe (playing with or without CD), you'll get the boot if you're playing through novalogin.

I know for sure, I just wasted a 2nd nameslot FYI.
Probably a CRC-check is made on the exe.

I only play in public games and consumer hosted password games, so does this affect me? I have not had any problems so far. Thanks for any replies.

No your ok it only effects players who need to login to nova and play

Stay assured BOVA, there's no problem if you do it your way. Just don't use the novalogin if you use my CoopMeNow. Meaning, choose: "To bypass the login and go straight to the games, click here" and you'll be OK ;)

:D OK GREAT!! Thanks guys.:dance:
