It recently occurred to me that I could repurpose an old Windows PC as a Windows game server and run the Forgotten Hope 2 server on it. Testing confirmed that the current FH2 server runs fine in coop mode on Windows.
So the JDRGaming BF2 server is once again running FH2, albeit on a different physical computer.
It's still possible that whatever prevents the FH2 Linux server from running in coop mode will be fixed, in which case I'll move the JDRGaming FH2 server back to the main Linux server. That dooesn't make any difference to players, of course.
As usual with FH2 releases, some of the maps have problems when running in coop mode. Please let me know if you encounter any problems running a particular map.
The latest version of FH2 has loads of improvements, most noticeably in the user interface.
If you've never tried FH2, I encourage you to check it out. It's more resource-hungry than BF1942, but if you can run it, you'll be amazed at the visual and audio improvements over BF1942. I particularly enjoy the much more realistic and diverse sounds of vehicles and weapons.
Here's a link to the official FH2 download page.
