How to save MP Accounts

Mon May 19, 2003 11:33 am by sir_diddy

Hi there,

does anyone know how to save the multi player accounts? I searched in the registry, but the entries i saved didn't contain the accounts. I need to reinstall this stupid windoze and don't wanna lose my multi player game... damn it, i hate it when they don't put it into files for easy copying... :
anyway, would be cool if someone could help me,

thanx in advance!

C:\GAMES\Freelancer\EXE\myflaccountid.hta find that double click it and note the number, then when you reinstall enter that. NB you cant paste in too the popup when you reinstall so write it down.

Hi,

thanks a lot!!! But do i save the accounts when i reinstall the machine where the server is running on? Because the accounts only seem to be on the machine with the server... When i recreate my account, do i keep my money, level, ship and stuff?

thanx again,

Your MP Account ID is used on every server you join, and is mixed with the server's ID number to make an account on the server. The final ID is stored on the server, which is why you can't transfer characters between servers. If you lose your account ID, the server doesn't recognise you as that player, and will make you a new ID on the server using your new account ID. If you write it down before you reinstall, then you can put it back in afterwards and the servers you play on will recognise you and allow you to access your characters.

It's all in the help files, somewhere.

hi,

ok, that was what i thought, hmpf... reinstalling the client is no problem, but i need to reinstall the windoze where the server is running on - so i need to save the account data which is located on the server.
Well, i think i have to search 'till i find the data - if it's possible... ARGH...

thanx again...

The save data on the server machine is located in the my documents/my games/freelancer/accounts ... or something like that.
