I am pretty much set up ( I think) However, I have run into a crazy weird problem. Not sure if it is Freelancer related or not. My internet has been acting funny the last few weeks, I am now using a old router I had laying around and everything is all better. My computer works great, internet is fast, and I can play other games online. However, every time I try to find servers or even play Freelancer online in one of the servers, my computer disconnects from the WiFi. Is this a known Freelancer issue with a work around or some other kind of problem on my end that is unrelated to all this?

p.s.
gdi ftw

I found a place (on this site i think) the other day that had a walk through on setting everything up, from what updates I needed, to installing and using the mod manager. Now for the life of me I can’t find it. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

I have downloaded all of the critical updates in the download section, but am wary of what order I should install them in. I guess ill just hope for the best

I guess what I am looking for in multilayer is more of a “co-op” feel. Something that I can find in most MMO’s or larger games. If I choose to go off on my own I can, or if I need to, play with a few other players to take on a harder mission or objective together. I would also like to be able (not sure how it works yet) to do my own thing some place, but still chat (In game chat) with other players that are around / online.

I would not mind playing the original unmodded online if there where any servers running that.

Thanks for the advice peeps. I’ll start trying to get my freelancer all up and running with all this mod stuff. I am looking for some good MP, however roleplaying is really not my thing. Not when it comes to having to play in character and follow 15 pages of rules and having to only use certain weapons from certain factions so on and so forth. I cam do some RP, but some of the mods I was looking at just get stupid crazy with the rules.

Hey everyone, Havok here. I used to play freelancer back in the day all the time and loved it. I had a small server set up on my computer for a while and just played with my friends. Admittedly, I never got all that far / high in the game so I would still call myself a newb.

In the last few weeks / months I have had a craving to play a good game like freelancer used to be. I started looking around and found that there has not been a game like freelancer since it came out, and that saddened me as I knew that the Microsoft servers where taken down quite a while ago. In my surfing however I found that there where still many private servers running and that the community was still very much alive and well. Imagen my joy when i found you guys and started looking at what all you had to offer.

So my question for some of you older free lancers is this: What mod / server would be best for me. I am a casual gamer who would play probably 2-3 hours a night, starting around 7am GMT time. My primary language is English, so while I took German in high school and collage, I don’t think I could remember enough to navigate some of the German mods.

Any info / guidance / advice you have for me would be great

Thanks
Havok
