RE: Server not running - Hopewell - 04-12-2021
I'm also unable to connect. My internet is good and functional in everything else. Can it be a bug with the MOD or with the server?

So I've tried to run the server, all I get is a flash of something and its gone. I think I've installed all the files that were required and made sure that IPV6 is disabled but no joy. Had a go in single player to find that the saves disapear, and the game is really only for multi player. So as it stands, the game isn't much use to me at the moment. My main goal is to host LAN games with the kids. Any ideas?
If you are trying to have other computers connect to your server via lan, you'll have to remove the semi-colon (underlined in blue) on this line within your discovery freelancers Freelancer.ini. On the systems that aren't the server host.
That will then allow you to see the server list, port forwarding shouldn't be needed if all computers are on the same network. If for some reason it still won't connect, try enabling DMZ on the server system, within your modem or router settings.
Edit: You may also want to password your server.
Major Edit: On top of this I didnt actually read the original post because my brain doesn't function apparently, If you are having issues with the server flashing then crashing, run the server executable as administrator, and wait about 30 seconds before pressing OK. It should launch smoothly after that.

I think I may have discovered the issue. I tried the advice in the last comment and no joy, however, I was asked to test the programme and the FLserver in my vanilla version started. I thought that the discovery server and the Flserver would be different but I guess I am wrong?
