Lan Server issue

[Maplassie]

HI there, thanks for the reply

As with my windows 7 issue and TCP ver 6, I disabled TCP ver 6 on the xp machines and it worked 100%. Dunno why I didn’t of that before

So glad that it’s all working and can enjoy some awesome Freelancer fun.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Regards

Maplassie.

It’s not needed.

Great!

Glad it wasn’t a new and more difficult problem.

How did you deactivate ipv6 without screwing the internet connection for Freelancer? I did that to try and run a server on my computer and I freeking killed the crap out of my internet connection for the game aand the server still didnt work, and when I tried to fix it there was no way to restore original parameters, had to reinstall windows to get it fixed, since I’m a bit scared to fumble around with the registry without being sure it will work right on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Hi,

I got sort of same issue and this Microsoft’s explanation to deactivate TCP/IPv6: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/change-tcp-ip-settings works fine.
But after getting Freelancer server running and creating a new character, I can’t get out of Planet Manhattan as the server colapses :?

Any help?

Although I´m not really a “Bill Gates-Fan” I had good experiences with the official “Microsoft Fix its”… it was around number 50410 or something like it. The best part is: There are Fixits to undo the changes aswell.

The crash-issue sounds to me like a missmatch between server and client…

I’ve made a patch to prevent Freelancer from seeing IPv6 addresses.

No way Adoxa, you’re just ripping the piss now! Legend.

This needs to be like stickied or plastered all over the place or something.

Awesome!

Question: does this patch make it redundant to deaktivate IPV6 on server and/or client ?

would be AWESOME !

second question:
is the “alternative method” ( to patch freelancer.ini) a way to make glsworkaround.dll redundant ?

would be awesome too !!!
´cause this would be my next thing on the list for my update-patch for ENIGMA V.4 ATG

Greetings J.R.

Question: does this patch make it redundant to deaktivate IPV6 on server and/or client ?

Yes (at least, I was only testing a local server, where the client seemed to see both v6 & v4 addresses, so I just ignored the v6 one).

is the “alternative method” ( to patch freelancer.ini) a way to make glsworkaround.dll redundant ?

Do you mean using “hostname = gun.fllistserver.com”? That’s all I’ve ever used (and is what JFLP does).

[J.R.]

Great !!!

Updated the mod and released the new version.
