Ive made a server with freelancer mod manager (and some mods active)
but when a friend comes in the server and go to space he get automatic kicked out and i see a mssg that hes kicked out because he use cheats, now i gave him freelancer mod manager and he got the same mods active but still the same thing happens is there something i should change or enable cheats..? if so how?

by the way, I love this site its easy to get around so keep up the good work

Ok when i got to play multiplayer i can join to the server screen even see the servers and refresh them (can see ping how many players all of that) so then why cant i actually connect to a server? It says that no connection could be made and that global server may be down but this isnt the case and its definately not my internet connection. Ive checkd all the firewall stuff and other probs i can think of but to no avail. It used to work on my old pc running XP but i recently upgraded and am now runnin Vista. Sum help me i wanna shoot ppl '''

Therin lies your problem. From all the posts I've read on two boards about this topic, Freelancer can not be played in multiplayer mode on Windows Vista.. You should have waited at least till service pack one was released, that fixes many bugs and makes it truly a release instead of a beta test you have to pay for the license to use.
Sorry if I offend, but MS has typically released OS's too early, and then fix things as they crop up. XP sucked when I bought it two weeks after release, but now that they are moving on, its a really good OS as Microcrash stuff goes.. Millenium died due to early release, 98 was a sucky one at first.. it goes way back..

Personally I think they need to have a larger Beta test group, and or test it longer in beta before open release and sales. Unfortunately like all of us, MS is after the almighty dollar and must needs release things on a certain schedule in order to keep the stockholders happy.

I've been trying to play a LAN game with a friend of mine who is home for the week. I don't need to set up an internet game. BUT I haven't been able to get ANY type of game to work LAN or otherwise. I have the 1.1 patch and NO mods. I've spent the last 5 hours going crazy trying to get this to work. I've read all of the information I could find on the forums and none of it has solved my issue. I launch the FLServer.exe, tell it to not allow an internet game (although I've tried it both ways) and then launch Freelancer, and try to connect to a multiplayer game. My server has never showed up under either internet or LAN. At first I could see other servers, but now I can't connect to the Global Server for some reason so I don't see anything. I have my router set to DMZ my tower's IP and I have UDP and TCP ports 2299- 2305 forwarded. I've also made sure that Windows Firewall isn't blocking traffic. I even disabled it and tried everything again but it still doesn't work. I've tried using IONCROSS mk.V and FLSM Server/Client. I've also tried having Freelancer directly connect to my server's IP using the -s<ip>:<port>. Does it matter that I am using my local IP 192.168.1.104? Is there anything I'm missing?

what most people dont realize is windows vista uses a new ip protocol.it has a metric ip address that is what ya need to get by to make it work.

how can i get everyone to start with more money?????????

Freelancer Mulitplayer works on vista.... dx10 has an emulated directplay feature but its only active if you right click on the freelancer.exe and go to run as administrator then it will work fine in vista. try it out hopefully it works out.... if that doesn't then set the compatibility to xp and the run as administrator

So, here's a question on the game in multiplayer once you actually start playing:

Do the wrecks respawn on a multiplayer server after a certain amount of time? A friend and I were playing last night on a public server and went looking for some wrecks. We found all three, but only two actually gave the expected cargo - the third was empty. I figure it's because someone else came along and "mined" it. But do they refresh after a while, or is it first-come-first-served?

If they do refresh, how long does it take (if there is a standard length)?

Well, not all of them "reset" their wrecks. dang it...so go out there and rob the fella who mined your wreck.
On the other hand, some will "respawn" wrecks and you just have to be the first one to get to them.

hi to all.
I'm trying to play freelancer on LAN. I have a toshiba satellite notebook with Windows XP SP2, and my friend have a desktop PC whit Windows Vista. We are connected by a crossower lan cable. whe both have a realtek RTL8139/810X Fast Ethernet net adapter. My friend cannot connect to my server, a message says that the server is shutting down or there are some internet problem indeed I can connect to mine. If he run the server, my pc can connect but he can't see the server he has created and so he can't connect. Please help me. Thanks.

Open fldirectip.exe in your C:/program files/Microsoft games/Freelancer/exe and writte there his Server IP Adress and Click *Add Server* then *Lunch Freelancer*
It must help you

I've tried to add the server on my friend's pc but it still doesn't work. He cannot see in the server list the server running on his pc. Probably windows vista has some kind of security options. I've disabled TC/IP protocol Version6 and remain TC/IP protocol Ver4 still active. On my laptop there is only normal TC/IP protocol and TC/IP ver6. I've run the connection wizard on my pc to configure the LAN. On vista I only changed the workgroup name in "MSHOME" and activate file and printers sharing. Seems that there is no way to play FL between vista and XP. Anyway tanks for the help Virus you gave me a good hint for the future!!
