Hamachi connection problem

[Mnich4250]

Greetings. I am again asking you for help.

Me and my buddy are trying to have a multiplayer game via Hamachi. Everything goes okay, until one of us (the one that joins the server) tries to launch from the planet - the game crashes. The effect is the same, whether is me or him creating the server.

We are running only two mods - Discovery 4.85 and my own mod (just adding a custom ship). Believe me, it's not the mods' fault - This happens no matter what mods we had. We even tried playing on just discovery mod or vanilla freelancer. It always crashes for the joiner.

My server is running FLhook with few plugins. I tried deactivating them - no result. My friend doesn't have FLhook running at all.

So, does anybody have any suggestions how to solve this problem? I would be glad.

Hello there, i don't know your operating system, but maybe it can help.

Long time ago i had a similar problem with Hamachi.

1. Checkout if you really need Hamachi! (I kicked it - nobody need it.^^)

2. Check firewall and router.

3. Check you Lan-Connections - Hamachi and the Networkadapter - disable the IP6-Protokoll. (this one solved my Hamachi-Problem)

4. Change your FL shortcut to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe" -s78.46.88.87 or use the Disco Launchpad (easier)


I hope this can help you.

Crash on launch? What was in your FLServer log?

The crashes will most likely be a save-game problem, deleting or moving them out of their default directory should suffice.

In any case, the poster hasn't logged in for three weeks now so there's no point having an entire discussion about this until they respond.

I did and it works without a hitch. My friend also reported no problems with running FL server on his PC and joining it from the same PC.

Forget it - neither me or my friend have public IP, so it's plain IMPOSSIBLE to connect without hamachi. We have to use hamachi for every multiplayer game, save those which operate completely on master server.

I don't quite get it how save games from single player could affect multiplayer?

And yeah, sorry for not responding for a long time in here. I just put down Freelancer for some time.

(Sorry if I'm necroposting, seeing the gap between the OP's replies I thought it'd be ok.)

Saved games from singleplayer can indeed affect multiplayer, and nearly 90% of crashes can be pinned to savegame issues. Your best bet would be for both of you to delete your My Documents/My Games/Freelancer/Accts/Singleplayer directories.
