Server maxed

[DaBoss]

Hey all. So whats going on with the server lately. Every time I try to log on I have trouble getting in as there seems to be too many people already connected. I havent been able to log in for almost a week now , tryin every night. Is there a chance the server connection capacity can be increased , is there another alternative? In that same space I guess congrats are in order as it proves how tremendously popular this mod is for Freelancer. But please guys , listen to the rules!!!! DOnt slotsave....We also need time to play. Like me I can only get a decent connection to the main Disco server. The Usa and Uk servers for example gives me red server spikes allthe time and boots me off for poor connection constantly. I seriously cant play many of the other servers running this mod. Thanks anyway. Still hoping there's a solution coming soon. Game On !!!!!!!

they are working with ideas about possibly splitting sirius into 2 or more servers. you jump to whatever system and it logs you into the other server. but i think that will be a while before that happens.

normally, your not supposed to have more than 128 people on a freelancer server, but for this one they have managed to get it up to 200.
if you look at the list of all the FL servers, we are the only one with 200 population, but then again, the other servers dont need that many....

you just gotta be patient and keep trying. you'll get on eventually.

To get on when server is full. just try loggin on in repetition until you get in. Maximum 5 minutes usually.

Amazing if you think that this board already has 14000 members. I wonder if even Microsoft thought Freelancer would reach the day where so many people would wanna play simultaneously.Its really a pity that they discontinued all support for the game.Anyways. Thanks for all the effort form the admins and lets hope they get a solution soon. I'm exercising patience and building a char on the UK server when I cant get onto the main server. Made some friends there with the same problems. I guess this also explains the lack of any real npc activity when the server's close to its cap. Hardware working overtime to keep things going and so on.

try double clicking on the server instead of clicking the connect button. it works wonders.

Not at four in the afternoon of any day, apparently. I spent fifteen minutes clicking nonstop before I finally got a place on the server, which I promptly lost due to being distracted and base idling. What would be nice, although currently probably not possible with the tools at our disposal, would be a queue, where you try to connect once and if the server is full you are placed in a lineup until a spot opens up, at which point the earliest person in "line" to have attempted to connect that time would be entered.

I can always dream.

you want a better server? last i check, ioncross will allow you to have a server with up to 255 players. obviously, the server limit on Disco is limited by the physical server specs. simply put, the server cannot handle that many people due to its hardware limitations, so it seems. hell, we have seen lately all the lag spikes, especially when the server is at full capacity.

i bet cannon and all this programming experience could find a way to make a server with more people on it than 255, but it takes allot of power to keep that sort of thing running smoothly.

want a better and smoother server? start a fund, and we all invest money to buy better hardware.

i wish ad admin would see this and post the server hardware specifications. i'd like to know what hardware our server has under its belt, i am a hardware buff, and i'm curious what its got.

This is the only reason its good to live in NZ, most of midday servers at 60-80, at night it gets to 130 and in the morning its full.

Look through the pinned topics in the Server Announcements forum. The thread you're looking for exists already.

Cannon made a program called Disco Account Manager, that means that limit is no longer in place:)!
