Problem during Multiplayer

Sat Jan 22, 2005 11:55 am by doma

I am having problem with Freelancer when I comes to multiplay.
I join a server ( this happens on all servers) and then I get to planet view.
for now it works.
then I launch to space and I get the red "connection error" image flash and I get booted due to time out or whatever.
All my other online games works fine, I am on a 100mbit internet line with no firewall either.
I play quake3 , world of warcraft. anything
all works. not freelancer tho
anyone know about this problem?
I can mention that it worked before I reinstalled 3 days ago, now when I try to lauch to space I get booted off. Even if I host my own server ppl cant join.
I also tried a clean install several times and with the patch and without.
All other works except Freelancer online play.

it could be your trying to connect to servers that have mods on them and you get autobooted. Also, uninstalling freelancer does tend to leave legacy files that cause connections problems.

I would suggest you read through this thread --> Right here and pay close attention the number 1. It sounds like you need to delete that folder it mentions.

I tried doing an uninstall and then manually deleting the Freelancer folder.
Then I did a clean new install , no mods , just plain v1.0.
I join other high speed servers with ping as low as 20-30.
same issue
I get connection problem when launching to space.
dont know why
Even on the same servers that I played on before I reinstalled windows I get connection problems.
anyone know what to do?

Again, there could be server side mods on the same servers you were connecting to before. Which servers?

its a clean 1.0 server.
note that this happens on ALL servers.
it even prevents me from hosting and others joining mine server.
