I also noticed it was in remoteserver.dll - I´m guessing that´s the DLL with the connection/network code - perhaps there is a conflic with the network drivers or stack we´re using... Have any of you ever installed Tiny Personal Firewall by anychance? I had that running - maybe it leaves some conflicting hooks in the network stack or something... But I´m still stumped - I´m thinking that re-installing XP will fix the issue - but I´m reluctant to do it for a game which since I´ve finished the single player story really holds no real long term appeal - ahhh Elite - now there was long-term appeal <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Dont think its Tiny PF2 I have installed it (game and server) on 2 machines on my LAN, both have Tiny PF2 installed. Single player, MP LAN and Internet all work fine. My friend has problems on MP servers over internet, the game hangs at System gates, when it loads the next section. The only thing I can think is poor connection to server, as he is the only user I have had on my server with dial-up, all other users have been on ADSL or cable and had no problems what so ever.

The game crashes when you try and _join_ the server and it´s not a poor connection because it happens even when running a server on a LAN (or the same machine even). My guess is it´s something to do with the connection establishment code - perhaps a weird NIC driver or something - but I can´t really be bothered investigating it further because I can´t see how the game would be fun multiplayer past 10-15 minutes - I mean there is only so much explore/trade you can do before you get bored. *sigh* I miss dynamic content.

I think there is an error log file. Documents and SettingsusernameLocal SettingsApplication DataFreelancerFLspew.txt note: some of those folders are hidden, so you may have to disable the Windows folder option that hides them from you. And you should send those crash reports to MS, they have some tool that helps track down and debug common problems... sometimes it even gives you a link to an existing fix.

It also contains some information I´d rather they didn´t have <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> and I´ve looked in that folder before and it was empty - but I´ll check again once I get home...

I have the same problem on 3 computers, all with win xp and with a geforce card. But as I see it the problem is when the compter tries to connect to the global server since if I pull the internet cable out so my computers are in a LAN ONLY then it works fine(but ofcause I cannot find internet severs:-)). As soon as you find a resolution to this problem PLEASE type it here!

Dunno if anyone else has noticed this, but everybody reporting this problem (myself included) has a Geforce card of some kind. Myself and the original poster have a Geforce 2 MX, 2 other posters had TI4400 and 4600s. Has /anyone/ had this problem that does not have a Geforce card? I´m gonna start looking into drivers, hardware acceleration, etc. If I find a solution, I´ll be sure to post it.

I have a Ti4400 and mine runs perfect. I´ve never had one problem with Freelancer... I dunno I think I would be looking elsewhere for the solution and not at the video card on this one. I believe it´s more of a sound card issue myself... 3 of them have a SB..one and Audigy the other two a Live! What sound card do the rest have? Edited by - Darkside on 10-03-2003 00:16:51

I was looking into the video card thing too and a friend of mine has a Ti4200 and it runs fine for him. I also have a soundblaster card, but it´s an old, integrated one (originally an Ensoniq AudioPCI 1371, but Creative bought out Ensoniq). However, in trying to make sure I have the latest drivers (I´m currently using the ones Win2k detected and installed on its own), the ones from creative.com didn´t detect that card in my system. I know that´s what I have, I did tech support for the company (Gateway) I bought the system from. I think my next step, to ensure that it´s not a SB issue for me, at least, is to disable the onboard sound and slap my spare (a Yamaha XG-based card) in and see how it goes. It doesn´t make sense that this is a sound card issue, but I bought the spare because of another game I had that had stability issues (in general) with my onboard.

I think it´s the SB drivers that have the compatibility issue with the game.. please let us know if switching the cards helped.
