Global Server Issues

Ok, i am speaking on behalf of quite a lot of people. When we go into internet play, we connect with the global server... and then it takes FOREVER to load up the servers. It takes a full 5 minutes to get to the C's, and HOURS to get to the end of the list.

What the hell is going on?

EDIT: No mods are on, and it happens regardless of whether freelancer is patched to 1.1 or not.

The Global Server occasionally goes down and sometimes takes a while to come back up. Once it does, however, any and all requests for server listings that were cached by the server itself are responded to, and when dealing with potentially thousands of players, it can be rather slow.

Be patient =)

When all else fails...

If you play on any of the servers in our approved list then you should check out my Freelancer Direct Connect project.

or you just could use the fldirectip in your FL directory to enter the server via IP (which seems to be the less complicated way) ^^
