Server Not Showing on Server List - Zyrez - 03-12-2009
Ok, I've had this problem before, like less than half a day ago... and it's popped up again.
I cannot get the Discover RP 24/7 server to show up on the server list no matter what I do.
The method I used to solve it before was to switch the installation of FLMM, FLAM and the game onto my other harddrive... but I've done this again but switched back, and switched back across, and again... nothing works.
I've tried clean and complete reinstallations of everything FL-related, as well as done virus checks, disabled anti-virus programmes, DxDiag, etc. etc..
Now, I am completely stumped on what I must do to get the server to show up.
When I was actually online on the server today (around 14:00 to 15:00 GMT (London time)), I was just mining at a clump of rocks in Colorado system, then all of a sudden I get major lag and packet loss, which did NOT show when I executed the "/pink" command in-game...
Now, I'm assuming it's got something to do with my Internet connection or my ISP... But I have checked that already, and the people at the other end are telling me everything is fine...
Any help would be really, REALLY appreciated.

Right, here are some things you can try and do.
-Clean install. Physically go and Delete the Freelancer folder. It is usually in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games and then reinstall.
-Make sure the server is online at that point. Quick way to find out is by looking here: http://86.1.193.224/status/
-Freelancer.exe now starts up the updater. Try pointing your shortcut with the -s82.113.48.5:2302 in it at this, instead of Freelancer.EXE.
If you still can't see it after that, post here again, and I'll upload a Global Server workaround.dll for you.

This has been happening to me frequently as well - even with windowed mode and the GLS workaround. Something is mucking up the .EXE in a form that it makes it unable to see servers - and for those that can't reopen the game after you close it, check your processes and you'll see that the freelancer executable is still running AND taking up some CPU. For me, when it happens, I end up having to remove everything FL-wise except the mods folder and re-install it all once again.
I would appreciate a less bothersome and more permanent fix.

' Wrote:I've already got the global server workaround and i cant see the server....To both of you:
-We now have an Auto-Updater installed, therefore Freelancer.EXE is no longer Freelancer.EXE.
-The Global Server Workaround uses a .dll to work. I have uploaded a fixed one that Cannon made for us, so we can use the GLS. It's around here somewhere, I'll go have a look for it in a second.

Calm down, our "mucking" with the EXE is actually renaming it to FLSP.exe, which allows us to update the Freelancer file using the Auto-updater. This will allow for more regular updates and easier fixes. Whenever you open Freelancer.exe, it automatically checks the server for an update, and then will launch freelancer.
