A Question about FL Severs

[msmith619]

I don't know too much about servers but, I can give a few general answers as I understand them. The server issue should be limited as it is getting upgraded to a more reliable server soon. All computers will slow down with several hours or days of running if not briefly shut down and re-started. The server has an automatic shut-down and re-start cycle and just sometimes fails to re-boot properly.

1. It is not difficult to set up or run a server. I do it often when the server is down for a few hours of game play, no-one else has ever logged on when I do and I usually fly alone. I guess waiting for Discovery to come back up as who wants to start a character on a server that is only on a few hours a month. The server set-up is in your Freelancer game files. Click START, then ALL PROGRAMS, then Microsoft Games, then hold your curser over Freelancer and select FLServer.

2. I do it on both my office PC (minimal [read bare essencials] set-up) and my home PC (4 years old) so not too much needed to set it up.

3. The problem as I see it is that you cannot run the Discovery server from another server unless they are linked together in some way. So, you can't host the Discovery site when the main server goes down.

Excuse and correct any errors if I am wrong but, this is they way I understand it to be.
