Love the Game, used to play, stopped for a period of time, my account go removed, never got round to starting back. I try to re install and play again, but it screws up in so many ways I feel like smashing my computer with a blasted hammer and grind it down to a powder like state I can then put in an urn and sink in the sea.
I am sure many others/veterans or ex players who have previously played on disco have the same issue. Can't get it sorted, I get screwed over on;
"The requested operation is taking longer than expected" - No, my firewall is not blocking, no P2P going on, no IP issues, nothing. Just the mod is a pain to get running.
Whats up with that, gogo 4.86 help us? Package deal all in one, download package - GO GAME?
Did you try joining other Servers? I can only think of the Anti Virus being the Problem (A friend had the same Problem until he found out the Program was still blocking Connections though Firewall was deactivated, etc.)
"Who is it doing this synthetic type of alpha beta psychedelic funkin'?"
' Wrote:aye, it won't connect to the global servers :/
There is no Global Server any more. All mods need to include the Global Server List Workaround - Discovery includes this.
Instead, you click on LAN instead of Internet for the new list of servers.
It still says: Requested Operation is taking longer than expected... and it wont connect... Plus when I go LAN it says internet games unavailable... its driving me insane, anyone wana remote assist me?
Un-install the mod, game and mod manager, deleting all leftover game files. Then re-install the mod manager and freelancer, set both to run in admin mode, then re-install the mod.
That should fix anything wrong with the game its self, if your firewall is set to allow freelancer through and your not suffering from internet problems you should be able to get on the server.
edit: you should be able to find internet servers weather you pick lan or not, at least that's my experience.
