Read the titel, i would like to know if anyone here knows why i can't connect to the server anymore. With 4.84 and my old computer (xp) i could play without any trouble. But now, with my new computer (vista) i can't anymore. Some people say it's because of AVG, but i had the same program on my old computer and then it didn't give any trouble.

So is there anyone here who can help me.

A recent update to AVG caused my once easy connection to the server to cause all manner of annoyances. So I got rid of it. I also now have the habit of running everything in Vista as an administrator, even when logged on an administrator account.

I have no idea of how anything works inside computers. To analogise: just as I find the digestive process in humans interesting, I still will not perform surgery on myslef to see more graphically what my intestines look like up close.

Avast will work with Vista + FL if you just tick off the Network Shield component when you install / re-install Avast.

Flying under radar.

I have absolutely no problems with AVG and Freelancer running together.

Vista and AVG do not mix. XP machines can run avg and freelancer fine... Vista machines get an error message when trying to connect to a server.

Looqas, are you using avast or AVG?

AVG is the one where people are having troubles with.
