Alright, sorry for digging up an old thread, but, I found out that the “Connecting to global server” message at the top right of the screen might be preventing me from playing online. Could this be a problem?

I live in the US, but is there a possibility that my ISP could be what you mentioned?

I am using McAfee Antivirus. Sorry for the late response, I was moving and packing.

I tried that, it displayed servers but not anyone in them. Am I supposed to do it a different way, like erase everything or just edit hostname?

So just uninstall/reinstall to documents, and do I need to redownload the server workaround?

I have everything updated for vista, and my Internet is good. Could just be the folder, can I just move it to like my documents?

Still doesn’t work after clearing it through firewall, checking update, admin mode, etc. I pretty much give up, lol.

Ran in compatability mode already. Will try others later.

Disabled IPv6. Ran as administrator but still doesn’t work. Still instantly displays “I’m sorry”.

I tried to disable IPv6, but when I pull up properties there is no IPv6 listed.
I tried administrator, but it didn’t work either. Is there a problem that isn’t one of the troubleshoot covered issues?

Very recently, I’ve decided to dig out freelancer and give it a go for multiplayer. I have already downloaded the global server workaround, and am pretty sure none of the troubleshoot options help me. I am currently running Vista, and whenever I join a server it almost instantly display the screen saying “I’m sorry, but you cannot connect to this server”, etc. This has happened for every server I tried to connect to. Is there anything else I could do?
