Global Servers Are Moving

    well, I wouldn´t call it a bonefide server crash. :0) I posted the IP earlier, here it is again (I think I had the port wrong) To connect to TLR server: freelancer.exe -s67.39.67.197:2302 To connect to E2 (Elite 2): freelancer.exe -s4.65.241.222:2302 To connect to Elite server: freelancer.exe -s131.107.83.10:2302 I just tried all three and they all work. Good hunting! If I have any more "accidents", I´ll just update this post.

    Thanks Stinger! TLR is the best server so far for me. Never see the evil yellow lag box! Now just need more ppl on it, lol. You might wanna start a new thread to let ppl know you have a new IP tho!

    In order to get around some problems with router issues on the Elite server, the port the server will be running on will be changed. This will be a temporary test, unless everything works well, and then the server will continue to use the new port. Starting at 23:30 PST, Elite will be using port 992 instead of 2302. (Yes, this is the port normally used for telnet over SSL, but as we are not using this service on the server, and the routers let it through w/o problems, we are going to give it a try) To connect, for now, until the list servers are back up, use: freelancer.exe -S131.107.83.10:992 If you have any problems connecting, or experience problems while playing, please try one of these other servers, and please send a mail to flancer@operamail.com with the details of your problems with Elite: TLR: freelancer.exe -s67.39.67.197:2302 E2: freelancer.exe -s4.65.241.222:2302 Myths & Legends: freelancer.exe -s64.218.97.97:2302 Thanks Edited by - Bargib on 20-02-2003 20:52:14

    Hmm, I´m having some problems here (using XP pro if that has anything to do with it). I can´t use a command line or edit the shortcut to put the IP:port info in, but I can use fldirectip to connect. However, it isn´t saving the servers on my list from one session to another, and there is no button on the server list to "add server IP" (which I assume would call fldirectip) Is this just a limitation of the marketing beta, or a bug?

    Well I can now play on Elite server!! But I have noticed a difference between that and the server I used to use. The Xenos are MUCH more active. I can´t go anywhere without being shot at by EVERYONE. Whats going on? <img src=smilies/icon_smile_disapprove.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=´http://members.lycos.co.uk/xesg/sig/o.jpg ´>

    The server has been upgraded to the retail version.

    Elite will most likely be upgraded to Gold sometime this weekend. That gives us a little downtime to work out some connectivity issues, hammer out the sniffer toys, play with some really very cool extraction proggies, (build up some characters on the server to act as a quasi police presence) consult with other large server admins on ideas and strategies for the upcoming barrage of visitors we expect in about 2 weeks. The Elite server was being slammed last night (which is good).

    When elite goes gold it will be the second time I loose a character, can you guys transfer the characters to a temp. beta server that will stay up until the final release date? Otherwise multiplayer is going to become frustratingly pointless if I, and I would imagine many others, keep loosing their characters.

    Ok. I´ve tried typing in &quot;freelancer.exe -s131.107.83.10:2302&quot; in my command line in the correct dir and it loads the game, but I just cannot figure out wher to go from ther... I still cannot get into a game... Do I need to install the Server Version? no, that should open up the main menu of FL. Just click on the MutliPlayer button and you´ll see the server in the next screen. Edited by - Stinger on 24-02-2003 03:50:08
