Thanks for the welcome lads. Now all I have to do is get it to work. I need a little bit of techo advice please if I can. Ok. Have Vista (oh joy) but have Freelancer running ok(ish). It doesn't like my video card but I've managed to get it to just ignore that for the time being. I downloaded all the bits it told me to download at FLU thou I am unsure how to get the mod file to open. Mod Manager ignores it so I'm missing some step there no doubt. But it said it wasn't necessary in order to play so it too I am ignoring for now. I put the -s ip at the end of the exe shortcut as I did for timoid's server and FLU appears in the list. Info is there, 12/50, ping 245, etc but when I try to join however and it says FLU is not there. I tried both LAN and Internet connections but to no avail. The LAN takes much longer to time out whereas the Internet option is practically instant. I am running my internet through a router. Do I need to add ports for it? I would not have thought so but anything is possible. What am I missing please guys? Being a technophobe I have no idea what I am doing here  |

If you can see the server its already good.
I had vista and you have to do the following:
Uninstall Norton. Not disable it or close it, you have to fully uninstall it.
Turn off Windows firewall and defender.
Restart computer. Check everything is still turned off and run FL.
Open ports:
TCP Ports 2302-2304
UDP Ports 2302-2304
For the mod you have to double click on the file and extract it to the mod-manager mod folder.
Then enable it in the the mod program.

Well, short of walking over there and handing them my details, I've tried every which way to log into the server. No luck. It just consistently says server is not there. No, not quite, on one occassion it looked like I was in. Had the view of Manhatten and I went "woohoo" (it's true, I did. I said "woohoo", just like that) but as the flea left the dock it crashed and it has not been there ever since. That was about last Wednesday I think from memory. I got a mate to log in from his PC and he had no dramas at all so it's something to do with my setup. Either Vista, or graphics or net or whatever. Short of getting another PC I dunno what to do guys. Stumped. |

I remember!
I had this on my computer as well... a long, long time ago.
Check your directX (update it)... google it, as it was a big problem when FL first came out.

A quick vista update!
Service pack 2 is out!
You have to run windows update to get all the updates until you get it--don't ask me why all aren't included in the service pack, but after you get IE 8, you'll get sp2.
With service pack 2, with everything running (not sure about norton) freelancer will work properly. I've got it working on 2 comps this way.
Woo hoo!!!
