Can''t join any multiplayer games - please help!

Mon Feb 24, 2003 8:38 am by KBLegolas

Whenever I try joining a game, a window comes up saying "Please Wait. The requested operation is taking longer than expected. Press the ESC key if you would like to cancel"

Then I wait a minute or two, and it says:

"I'm sorry but the account name and password your provided are not valid on this server. Be sure that you correctly typed in your account name and password" or something like that

This happens on EVERY server I try to join, whether or not it has people playing on it. Can someone PLEASE help me figure out how to bypass this? Thanks a LOT!

You can't bypass it, you'll just need to pu in the right key number.

I got it working, I just had to reinstall it with DX9

LOL

You're saying that only by installing DX9 it solved your account name/password problem?!?

Anyone else wnat to explain how those two instances are related because I'm at a complete loss. DX9 affect the Directplay port, but that doesn't have anything to do with a username / password situation does it?

Yes - I installed the game THREE times without DX9 - because I wasn't sure if I should install DX9 with my TI 4400... but I was having the same problem over and over, and therefore just decided to try DX9... and it worked...

Same thing with my friend. He has my second beta copy, and he didn't install dx9 with FL. I just saw this thread and told him to install dx9, and now it works

and btw you can byepass the id protections, it seems that the protection is based on the global list ... but well will not say anything more, cause imo a online cd protections is a good thing, at least when the company offers aswell services. which is not really the case for freelancer I fear ... unlinke examples like battle.net, where the protection btw works fine aswell (sure there are battle.net clones out, where you can play still with warzs versions, but they totaly lack any of the advantages of bnet, so I guess its fine

)
