Thanks for feedback! Can you tell me if you know any improvements?
BTW, what were your problems (juts out of itnerstest)?

Also, the most updated FAQ can be always found @ www.freelancerpatch.com, just direct mates to there if they have any questions (I need a better google rank, mainly for the term “freelancer patch” (I offer that stuff for which people are after)).

@Bas: try to make (or use) some css for the page, that boosts the position in search results heavily.

I’m on 7 and no matter what I do I can’t connect. The local server will show up, but it freezes a bit and then says it’s taking longer than usual and will then say it couldn’t connect. The server window shows the bandwidth spiking to red.

What do I do?
none of the above solutions worked. Always failed in the exact same way.

I’m connected to a router and I’ve tried not being connected and then connecting to internet, and I’ve tried wireless to the router still nothing.

Have you forward the ports?

Can you connect to other servers?

Which antivirus do you use?

Hi, I have a new graphic bug.
Once I move the mouse flickers the font, the play is unfortunately not possible.

I use a netbook with the following graphics card:
Intel GMA 3150

Meanwhile, the latest driver is installed.
Also, the patch 1.1 on it. Yes but what actually do not mind.

Help!?

deutsch:
Sobald ich die Maus bewege flackert die Schrift, leider ist das spielen so nicht möglich.

Ich nutze ein Netbook mit folgender Grafikkarte:
Intel GMA 3150

Mittlerweile ist auch der neuste Treiber installiert.
Ebenfalls ist das patch 1.1 drauf. Was ja aber eigentlich nicht ausmacht.

Bas

Here is a solution to allowing a player to launch a local server and connect to it under Vista, normally you cannot as your IP address will still appear in IPv6 format even if you have disabled it on your network adapter/s.

You must add a setting into your registry to resolve the issue
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00  

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters] "DisabledComponents"=dword:00000001
Copy the above code into a new text document and rename the extention from .txt to .reg

Then double click the file to enter it into your registry, after a reboot you will be up and running and able to access your local lan server!

I have attached a file with the already prepared reg file inside, download at your leisure

Source: Windows Vista Disable IPv6

For some reason best known to my laptop, no matter what i tried to get FLServer to display my ip for my server, it didn’t work, as all it did was display my IPv6 address even though it was disabled. The above solution maybe a Vista solution, but also works on W7 64bit and now i can finally connect, great job!
