Alright, this looks to be the right place for this question.
I have the 4.86 mod installed, and can run the game and connect to other servers fine. I am able to host and connect to my own vanilla (Ver 1.0) server with no problems. (After I disabled all of the IPv6 nonsense anyway)
I'm trying to run a server for myself and a friend using 4.86.
When i try to execute "Discovery Freelancer Server" it immediately crashes...
I have been out of the FL server game for a while, its likely a stupid mistake on my part but for the life of me I'm not sure how to fix it. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks =)
First of all, from the comment you posted, you were not supposed to install ANY patches.
Also, make sure your Windows NET is up to date, I had to update mine in order for it to work.
Also, I suggest you either downgrade to XP or upgrade to Win7. Vista is utter crap when it comes to server hosting.

PSA: If you have been having stutter/FPS lag on Disco where it does not run as smoothly as other games, please look at the fix here: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2306502

Have you tried running flserver.exe as an administrator? Don't know why it would need those rights with 4.86, but you never know. You can also run DSProcessServer that will monitor your server and restart it automatically if it crashes. Bt I would get the server running first before you go to that.

(Im currently running windows vista 32bit)
I have this exact same problem, dying to play this game with a few mates, can anyone shed any light on this fix.......did you sort it out in the end Archmage, and if so how???
I clicked on the file inside the folder (rather than the desktop shortcut) that brings up the server information window (where you name the server, designate number of players allowed on the server etc). then the cmd box appears and here is a screenshot of what it says......if that helps at all....in the "attached files" below...

That is a running server ready for logins. The 'error' you see has to do with the timer, but it won't prevent people from logging in.
To configure your server you can find a series of tutorials by clicking here.. It's recommnded you start with the bottom post and work your way up as they are listed in reverse order of posting. Newest first.
