Servers Disappearing from my In-Game Server List?

This is wonderful..

Friday night i closed Freelancer with about 12 servers showing up on my browser using the "Hide Servers I've Never Used" filter. Meaning that all 12 of the servers I connect to on a regular basis were showing on my in-game browser.

Then Saturday morning I open up Freelancer and set the "Hide Servers I've Never Used" filter... And all I have is 2 of the 12 servers showing up?

I figured the rest must be down.. That's including the "Elite" server. But if I use the "All Seeing Eye" (ASE) server browser. It clearly shows that some of the servers i've joined in the past are in fact up and running right now with people in them (Elite shows as 9999 though).. Then when I go into the Freelancer browser with no filters set. I still can not find thoughs servers that are showing up in ASE.

So all but 2 of the servers I connect to are mysteriously not showing up in the in-game browser anymore. That is with or without filters set.

Is there anyway to connect directly to a server? (IE: connect 24.456.22.532:2354) You can not connect using ASE..

I look in ASE and the servers i've joined in the past are in fact up and running with people in them.. But they aren't showing up on the in-game browser.

AFAIK you can't connect directly by IP, but you can set FL to show specific server(s) in the list without reading them from the global server. The command is
freelancer.exe -s{IP/DNS}:port [..
e.g.: freelancer.exe -s131.107.83.10:2302 -swww.flserver.com:2302
Those servers have to be on-line and match the filters you've set to show up in the list though.

Hey! That worked!

Any idea why the hell they all just suddenly stopped showing up in the in-game browser in the first place?

Thanks for the help.. Going to add the rest of them to the command line.

Yup,

Just tested it.. And everytime I join a new server.. Next time I goto the in-game server browser it's gone. The server wont show on the server list anymore after I create an account on the server.

Anyone know where this problem might be coming from? Is there a file I can edit to fix this?

This is pissing me off something fierce..

And you can only add so many IP addresses manually to the command line.
