Strange Multiplayer Problem

Thu May 13, 2004 4:17 am by splendino

I'm trying to play Freelancer on my LAN but experience the following Problem:

I've got 3 PCs running Win2k all extensively being used to play MP Games on LAN without any issues... but when it comes to Freelancer theres an very strange issue:

1 PC being the Server, Athlon 2200 machine running Win2k, 2 others (similar Hardware) connecting. On one of them it runs without Problems but on mine theres an "Connection lost" button on the screen as soon as I enter Space. Being in Cities is no Problem, I can chat, I can take Missions.... entering Space instantly brings up this annoying "Connection lost" button and kicking me from the server after about 30secs. Same Game Version, Same Hardware, Several Games running without Problems in MP Mode and I DO NOT have any Port Blocking Stuff like Zone Alarm installed.

Please Help I'm close to going nuts about it....

you are running a Server on your lan? If so at a guess you patched FL to 1.1 and edited the character so the server is kicking it.

No,

I did not patch to 1.1, neither I edited the accounts
