Help. How do i get online ?

Sat Sep 18, 2004 10:57 am by Navillus

ive had freelancer (a bought game) for a while but never tried multiplay online. Id now like to play multiplay but it doesnt seem to load a server/servers.
I link to broadband internet, then load in game disc..i choose multi player.. it then asks LAN or internet (ive tried both..but which should i choose im in uk ). next screen i guess is supposed to list servers to choose from.. this remains empty and none load ? ...A message is displayed in grey saying "connecting to worldwide server....." What am i doing wrong ? Am i supposed to join anything ? Is there a cost ? Should this game be disc or harddrive played ? Has this been a problem with anyone else ? HELP please anyone.

Well - check this forum and you find MANY questions. Have you granted the Freelancer.exe file permission through your filewall, or even the new SP2 (windows XP) update packs firewall? You should do this for both, ensure your connected to internet - and then enjoy.

See the Freelancer Technical Help forum - at the top is a stickied thread about Firewalls and Windows XP SP2
