it depend on what message do you see when you try to connect...
if u see a message that says:"i`m sorry,u have an invalid user name and password bla bla bla" try downloading directx 9.0, it helped me...

I don't want to install Direct X 9. My Video Card doesn't support it and the last time I installed it, all my games went down on FPS.

You need DX9 to play multiplayer game.

Yes, someone from MS reported that there are DirectPlay features in DX9 that are required for Freelancer to run correctly.

I play SP with directx8 just perfectly, Ive even finished the missions.

But I cant connect to any MP game cause i get the account id and password invalid error. Now you say that directx9 is needed for MULTIPLAYER playing in FL??

the MP NEEDS DX9, the gfx engine uses 8.1

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.

MP uses DirectPlay features that are only in Dx9, so Dx9 is definitely required to play MP.

The SP game isn't using any Dx9 features, so all appears well until you try MP.

I see. Maybe thats why I keep getting that error. However dx9 makes my HL games crash like a mofo, thats why I keep it at dx8, so I guess no FL MP for me ;((
