Disconnected from Global Server =S

Tue Aug 19, 2003 6:15 pm by DeaconCrude

Hi, i get this message when trying to play online at the top right, saying:

Disconnected from Global Server, cannot connect to servers.

Or something along those lines. From this i cannot see any servers online and it just stays saying: connecting to global server.

What can i do? This is amazingly frustrating.

None of what was suggested has worked, i still can't connect. I've uninstalled FL, then re-installed, installed the latest direct x, moved freelancer to my larger hard drive and so forth. It still dosn't work.

Do you have Firewall or proxy? This is your first connect?
Please tell us what exactly what FL writes when trying to connect.

Also you can try to connect directly -
FreeLancer.exe -s[ServerName:[port
eg Elite server: FreeLancer.exe -s131.107.83.10:992 (elite server has account creation off)

No i've played online plenty of times on multiple servers. This just randomly happened, i don't have a firewall either.

Alright do it step by step:

goto start>run>
type "dxdiag.exe", run.
Wait until it all loaded.
open tab "Network".
DirectPlay8 <????> drivers, registry volue should be OK.

You really cannot "reinstall" directx, instad you need to upgrade it. there is DX9.0b out now. http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

If nothing work consider calling the MS customer support or buy me tickes to check you machine

No =(. Downloaded the latest Direct X and it didn't detect any problems with directplay. I guess i'm going to have to find another game. Thanks for your help moby.
