  • Cant Connect

    Turn it on again


    And try by deinstalling your antivirus (dont forget to install a new one like avira antivir then! !)

  • Bekomm keine verbinung zu Server

    Ist Kaspersky nicht hauptsächlich Antivirus?


    OK, here are the tipps:



    IV. Can't connect to any Server (Vista)
    Norton, mcafee securityCenter or Kaspersky aren't allowed to be on your PC, deactivating them don't do it!, if you have Avast! you have to deinstall the NetworkShield.


    Avira funktioniert problemlos mit FL, von dem was ich gehört habe (und das war nicht wenig)

  • Cant Connect

    Ok, that's just a thing I caught up but I am not sure about


    But 90% of all vista users which cant connect can solve the problem by installing another antivirus
    (That's a fact I am sure about)

  • Cant Connect

    Ok, I think this is the true solution since I have seen it often that this solves the problem



    IV. Can't connect to any Server (Vista)
    Norton, mcafee securityCenter or Kaspersky aren't allowed to be on your PC, deactivating them don't do it!, if you have Avast! you have to deinstall the NetworkShield.
    You should eventual turn off IPv6 and give a static LAN IP Addresse in the IPv4.

  • Freelancer Problem Solutions FAQ!

    Ok, unfortunaly I forgot - this FAQ is not only but also for the guys who need help also for those who want to because it might contain unknown solutions


    Note that this FAQ is for Vanilla FL but the most solutions do also help with modificated freelancer


    Just enter the chapter in the Browser Search (ctrl + f) to jump to it. :)


    Index:
    I. Global Server down/Can't see any Server
    II. Freelancercrash
    III. Help, my characters are gone!
    IV. Can't connect to any Server (Vista)
    V. FLMM under Vista
    VI. Loud Sound in Freelancer
    VII. Gigant/no font ingame
    VIII. Creating more IDs/Saving IDs
    IX. Kick when you buy a ship
    X. Lag kicks with Vista
    XI. FPS problems/mouse lags with Vista
    XII. Avira Antivir alert with debuglib.dll


    I. Global Server down/Can't see any Server
    The Global Server is currently down and don't comes back, except Crazy get his DNS and launch his own one, but you can still connect to the FL Servers. If you want to play on other Servers, then just download FLMM and the [url=http://www.freelancerserver.de/v2/topic,13916_Global_Server_Workaround.html]Global Server Workaround Mod[/url]


    II. Freelancercrash
    Go to the FL Options Menu and deactivate the 3D-Sound.
    Eventual rest of mods are still in Freelancer, then just open FLMM, go to Tools->Restore Backups. If this doesn't help, reinstall Freelancer.


    III. Help, my characters are gone!
    You may have reinstalled FL or Windows and you lost your ID on this way, then create a new topic in the help area of the server you are playing at, where you descripe your Problem and post 1 of your old chars and 1 new-created character.
    Other possibility is that they were under 5 minutes playtime or 1 year (or another given time period) inactive, then they are lost cause of the last char deletion.
    Or you gave someone your ID and he deleted your chars. Do not give your ID to everyone!


    IV. Can't connect to any Server (Vista)
    Norton, mcafee securityCenter or Kaspersky aren't allowed to be on your PC, deactivating them don't do it!, if you have Avast! you have to deinstall the NetworkShield.
    You should eventual turn off IPv6 and give a static LAN IP Addresse in the IPv4.


    V. FLMM under Vista
    FLMM may don't work right under Vista system, just right-click on the shortcut or FLMM.exe -> Properties, tick on "Execute as Admin" and set the compability mode to Win XP or Win 2000.


    VI. Loud Sound in Freelancer
    It is a bug, especially if you switch back from the desktop to FL. The only one thing that you can do is to rename the sounds or delete them, which result in having no sound anymore in Freelancer. Go to the Audiofolder and rename (or delete) the 4 containing folders, but NOT the Audiofolder, or it WILL come to problems!


    VII. Gigant/no font ingame
    Just move the fonts from the FL CD to C:\Windows\Fonts.
    If you don't know where your CD is, you can also download them here.


    VIII. Creating more IDs/Saving IDs
    See FAQ [url=http://freelancerserver.de/v2/topic,3439_MultiplayerID_lost_Making_more_IDs.html]here[/url]


    IX. Kick when you buy a ship
    You are not allowed to buy the same ship as you already have, when you dock on the station. If you want to buy a cloak ship, then you aren't allowed to have the same ship in "normal mode".



    X. Lag Kicks with Vista
    Increase priority in Task Manager for Freelancer


    XI. FPS problems/mouse lag with Vista
    Download DX8 -> DX9 Converter and unpack in FL\EXE folder.


    XII. Avira Antivir alert with debuglib.dll
    The alert with debuglib.dll is a false positive from antivir, that means that there isnt a real virus in this file. You can disable the alert by adding debuglib.dll in extras->configuration->[X]Expert Mode->Guard->Search->Exceptions in "Not scanning file objects". The alert will also appear in a scan, so do the same thing with the scanner in the configuration. (Note that I have the german version of Antivir but guess you will find through even not all names/descriptions are the same how I translated :P)


    If you have found some bugs or know some improvements, just post in this topic, thx. :)

  • Mod of the year contest at moddb

    *bump* Now 2 FL mods got into the Top 100, Crossfire and Freeworlds


    I know that here is a big amount of CF fans but I think it is the best if you vote for both since by this we have the greatest chance to get into the Top 5


    And I think this would be a nice option to show the world that FL is still alive


    (I am not advertising FW for my own purporse - I didn't even played it tell yet ;))

    (+ German translation)
    There is indeed some important information I forgot:

    * Wasps won't be able to stop your EK
    * Clans who have wrote an introduction up to a week after the event will get the server clan status after beeing a few days active
    * There will be high paid missions offered at clan bases (NOTE: Everyone can do this missions)


    Because I fixed my RL troubles much earlier than I thought, I guess the server will go online within the next 10 days.


    I planned the event for 17 o'clock/5pm GMT+1 at next week Saturday, this should ensure that most of the players are able to join it.


    ++++GET YOUR EAGLE AND EQUIPMENT FOR FREE++++


    (There might be even a 3rd event (2nd one is the Last Man Standing) that day, I will start with a starflier in unknown Gamma and have to fly the whole way back to New York :D (With the bad rep of course, I hope this event doesn't take too long ^^))


    At the moment there isn't any activation necessary for the forums to make it more comfortable for you (and spammbots tend to spamm over only forums with a high/descent activity)
