I think that it could be some crazy cheat detection which was preventing me from connecting and staying connected. I am not certain what was doing it, I stopped using Riva Tuner Stat server which displays the frame rate on screen and other stats when used with HWInfo. Certain configs when using that can be detected by some games as cheating. I was also applying some basic Freelancer patches which are not cheating in any way. I do not cheat. I am not even certain what ones I applied TBH. For my current install of Freelancer & Discovery I did not apply any of those, only the Gfx card config file so that the game recognises my Gfx card.
That seems to of sorted it however ATM I do not have any other servers displaying ->Which is why this thread exists. I do want to be able to play Freelancer 1.0 and possibly other mods and certain patches are needed to get Freelancer working in widescreen. It is not usable as it is ATM. A server update is needed for Freelancer because ATM it is not showing any servers.
Does anyone have any idea what I need to avoid doing so that Discovery will not disconnect me like it was doing previously? From what I understand, adding dll's can make Discovery believe that cheating is happening.
BTW the game just crashed and hung while I was approaching the helium mining zone in Pennsylvania. I am sure that zone has moved since the last time I played this. I am certain that it used to be over on the right of Pennsylvania and not at the bottom left. It seems to work differently too. My asteroid miner filled up the cargo hold in seconds whereas it would take some time when I last played it. I hope that the crashing does not happen again.
