I have the same Problem, I have to Go back and forth from the main Menu and back to the server Listings, some time 20 Times to get the Server to come up, Anyone have a IDEA whats going on? And Refresh doesn't work.
I have been filling my accounts, normaly I put one char per account so I can sort them, but if I get in, I don't want to log out to the main menu it's a fight to get back in, some days only once or twice, but as time goes on, seems to be getting allot worse.
I sure hope some one knows how to fix this God Bless to anyone that can help me

I have not tried it, but once I get connected I can be on for hours, and a Tracer problem dropping would drop me as well, I have never ever had this problem in all my years of Playing since 04.
I have also double checked all my Fire wall settings and everything. want to double check port forwarding but forgot where it is, But since I am getting connected and staying connected then don't really thinking that is it.
now once a day I may get kicked or something anyways I lose connection but come right back on after my fight to get the server listings to come up.
My Main question is there a better place to post this Issue? cause I cant find this listed anywhere.
I had once ipv6 related problems (under Windows XP though).
I recently saw that Adoxa offers a tool that patches the Freelancer. exe so that ipv6 adresses are prevented
in the server list (whatever that might exactly mean and whatever the consequences of those would be.
Maybe such servers wouldn't show at all, because Freelancer is quite the dinosaur in that behalf. And since
you have problems with the server showing up I just thought ...): http://adoxa.altervista.org/freelancer/tools.html
Unfortunately there is no documentation which seems to be not uncommon with software that is offered by Adoxa.
Maybe one of the mod developers could tell if the Discovery Freelancer.exe is already patched this way.
I suggest you don't try that on your own because there's a high risk that the Anti-Cheat running on the server
might find such changes not very funny. And that might not even be the worst case scenario.

You know I forgot all about this ipv6 Problem, but you can go in and DeActivate 6, and set it back to ipv4. But that caused if I remember correctly, It would not load at all. Don't think it would cause a random problem that comes and goes. I had this problem before but I'm running Vista. and No Vista's not the problem, I have been running on Vista for many years. now if the Dev Team used files in their installer that doesn't like vista that's another story in its self.
I will give it a check just in case. But since the Dev team knows Ipv6 doesn't like freelancer I kinda think this may not be the problem but like I said I'm going to check it out. Thanks for the reminder. stranger things have happened with this game lol Right!
ok, found out it Seems to have been my ZoneAlarm AntiVirus causeing it, this time I set it to not load on Startup and restarted the PC, and now the server list comes up every time. so I guess now itis back to scratching my head trying to figure out how to bypass in Zone Alarm whats causing this. Thanks so much for the feeback and help guys. if anyone has a clue please drop a line thanks so very much for your Kind Help and God Bless to you all
Well No Server listings again, and this time I can not Figure this one out, Can some one on Staff please Address this Problem and place it in a FAQ if they could be so kind, and a Link to the GC Cover page where you download Freelancer and GC if they could be so Kind, Under a Link on that Page, "Server list not showing up"
Thanks so Very Much and God Bless for any help from anyone
