Multiplayer problem

[Dracan]

I have gone to the forum that tells me how to set it up. however i can not get it to work. For some reason i can not get it to work. At first it was when i launched i fixed that. Now however i cant even see the server. What am i doing wrong? Should i just go ahead and reinstall it and start over?

Sup Dracan.

Did you include the IP Address of the Void server after the Target Line when you went to:

Freelancer -> Properties

If not, that's probably your case. Most FL servers are in Europe and need the IP address on the target line to speed up searching for servers as it takes quite a bit of time waiting for your internet connection to do it manually.

Also re-installing FL wont do much at all, that's only if your PC wont agree with the Void mod and chucks a wobbly.

Also if you are confused about how to do the Direct Connection IP here's a little example. I used my Freelancer path to show you how..

E.G: "Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\freelancer.exe" 85.14.217.82:2302

Press space then copy and paste the IP address on the end of it. Start up Freelancer and it should appear.

Can you be a bit more specific about the problem?

[Jackelsano]

Well servers "not appearing" has to have something to do with the IP address, because there is only so much your internet can do trying to connect to Frankfurt, so I was thinking that he forgot the Direct Connection IP address that goes at the end of your Freelancer target line.

We gotta create some sort of Problems Related to Freelancer problems matrix, so people can find the answers easily.. But that's a bit ambitious..

If no servers are appearing at all then he is missing the global work arround that links to the global server. Now I thought that that was included with the Mod, so there may be a chance that bthe mod i snot installed correctly. It could of cousre also be a missconfigured firewall.

As I said more info needed.

Opperating Syatem?
Anti-virus and other security software?
FL Mod Manager version?

Is the mod successfully activated? Do you see the Void splash screen when you startup?

Can anyone post a link to the global work arround. I can't seam to find it   #-o

[Richi]

I think that's been solved, in February or April for example.

This original post was in January By the way People......

[Jackelsano]

Yeah, I said that he was missing the IP address originally.

The Global Workaround is just on the home page.. But hang on.. January? Jeez, we should help people a bit earlier than that, the less help people get with their problems with the Void Mod the less people we get in our servers. This place is emptier than it was back in 2008.
