Okay the server is obviously down, but I would like to know what is going on? And what is all that fuss about right/wrong version of CF 1.8?

Im not 100% sure whats going on, but the server has been down since I woke up about 2 hours ago, and my friend that was on it said that it just crashed, and hasnt been back on since. My guess is that OP has gotten tired of all the crashing complaints and decided to change the version to something else and make everyone else have to redownload it.
If this does happen, I really hope we dont have to start all over again on the trading, Ive been working my ass off for the last week trying to get lots of creds and get a fighter up for when the RP starts...

If anyone downloaded 1.8 on 5th or 6th of January, they need to download it again because it was updated with important fixes to many files.
-
Theres no new version OP planned or released of CF 1.8 yet. There are 2 versions ever releaed (of 1.8), the bugged one in it's first 2 days, and the fixed one, releaed 2-3 days after the first release... now we already have over a week CF 1.8 is released, the fixed one
The only fuss is that somebody could still have the old release, from 5th and 6th Jan.
And ys, the sever is down for several hours....
this was my last afternoon free... :((
-
mine too heh... now, how can I check if my download version is from 5th-6th or newer?
-
Go to the place on your PC where you downloaded the mod to, and look at the Date Modified value next to CFSetup18.exe
-

i am wondering how stable the server will run now
-
Well it still crashes(like just now) lol
I belive it's not from the server... either it's from the players or something bugy in the game^^
-
well i got 30 mins, thats better than before, getting there maybe
if it helps, there was a few seconds of yellow lag, it cleared then went reg lag about 30 seconds after
-
yeah i know
but it was stable for an hour before a memory leak shut it down
however i just changed the dlls back to version 1.7 again to see if its running stable now (try not to set waypoints through x) -
I play 2 night with 10-15 players around me (more than 3 hour without crashing)
Installations can be problem but also depends of what players do at the same time.
thousands of combination

OP, I can see u're posting here so I might as well ask it here so everyone can read and confirm if they notice the same issue... whenever I exit freelancer and return to my desktop, my freelancer.exe in the proccess tree remains working with varied usage, from 90 up to 200MB even though the game is closed... tried waiting if it will close itself and finish but no... have to do it manually every time
-
I have that exact same problem. Its been going on since I got 1.8 installed.
-
i dont have that problem
the process terminates correctly -
to add to what Diablo said, When you exit the game using Alt-F4 , for cases when theres red lag, the game exits immediately and freelancer terminates correctly. With normal exit, you cannot re-launch the game until Freelancer.exe has been released from memory 0x0 otherwise you get Error code returning in Launcher. I dont think this is a problem with client side which is affecting the server crashed in regard to this. If it was then the clients would have a bigger cumulative problem and CTD would happen eventually.
To be honest i think its just certain people doing certain things on the server with a bad install, and until people actually help out and post here when they keep getting a CTD the problem wont get solved.

I mention similar thing with cfwd.exe and msg about F5, and every time i must kill this CF process, ofc when it happens^
