i am having the same problem!
it often takes me 30-60mins to log onto the global server list.
Just incase that's helpful for anybody...

I have no idea how to fix it and i seriously doubt it has to do with graphics!

I have the same problem... The only thing I can do is wait and the list pops up like 30-40 min later... Very annoying so if anyone has a solution to this it would be very helpful.

that's quite amazing.
I'll give it a try. I don't think i can uninstall directx the usual way tho.

Any ideas?

LMAO it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to the original source of directx9 or whatever the latest one is and said "install"

I then loaded the game and shizzam. Problem solved!
I'll be sure to report here if it was just a coincidence!

FL MP requires DX9.... Is ln the CD. Other issues with the FL Server are discussed in the document under /Extras.

just for interest's sake.
Today (after rebooting my computer) i can't connect to the global server quickly anymore. (yesterday the reinstall of directx9 fixed the problem.)

I tried re-re-installing directx9
no luck.

I am currently back to where i started. Just FYI.

I've having the same problem. i tried reinstalling and it didn't work. same problem

I fixed the problem by installing DX9 off of www.microsoft.com/directx. The one on the CD didn't fix the problem but the downloadable End User Runtime from microsoft's site did.

Now it connects silky smooth all the time.

i've been looking into it and it seems to have something to do with directplay. still working on it though

i did all of the stuff, i reinstalled from the cd, i reinstalled from the site. and i am still not connecting. i know its not my modem because i'm running a cable modem. it just says connecting to global server.

I get the same problem too. I have tried restarting, reinstalled DX9, etc. etc. etc.

I had it working earlier today and was on a multiplayer server for hours. But when I came home from class, I was unable to get on the Global Server.
