Vista problem - agentmike - 01-15-2010
I am having a problem connecting to the server.
I got the mod installed and updated properly.
The server shows up on the list, but it will not allow me to connect.
The only firewall on the computer is the standard windows firewall, and its disabled.
AVG antivirus (not firewall) is also installed, but disabled.
I am connected to a WiMax modem through a LAN cord, no Router.
ping is about 250-300
also, IPv6 is disabled through that connection.
help please?

Did you install AVG on the normal setting? if so thats the problem. Uninstall AVG then reinstall but this time use the custom install option. Only tick to install anything that says free version and leave the rest 'cause they are whats causing the problem.
Hope this helps.

Yes, that could be it. You mentioned to me that the AVG firewall was disabled but it has to be completely uninstalled or it won't work.
Also, before you do this, upgrade to server pack 2. Apparently this helps but I haven't seen anybody confirm this

' Wrote:Only tick to install anything that says free version and leave the rest 'cause they are whats causing the problem.Yeah, its only the free version installed, with no firewall installed. But I'll double check.

I assume you have Vista S2.
If you don't have it get it. Fixed all freelancer connection problems on my PC.

Well I upgraded to Service Pack 2. Now every time i click to connect to the Server, freelancer crashes.
I'm thinking a re-install is necessary.
ideas?

Did you install only the update-3 or did you install the full release? The instructions were not clear on this point and I have updated them.

You must install 4.85 final release before installing any of the updates. In addition the updates should install automatically so for most people they won't need to do this.
