-realize that I can't. Either one of three things happen: either

A: The game freezes upon my attempt to join the server

B: The default error message ("I'm sorry, but a connection could not be established to that server. This is usually caused by a server going offline when you try to connect to it. It may also be caused by Internet problems. Try again later.") occurs and I am unable to join

C: It allows me to enter into the character list, but kicks me from joining the game, citing the same error message.

This started yesterday when I tried to join, and continued today. I have not switched or changed anything with my computer or internet, at least not in a while, and nothing changed on my end from the last time I was able to join the server (less than a week ago), that I know of.

Any ideas on what this might be caused by?]]>

Before the advent of programs like the launcher, I had saved the FL registry keys from multiple previous installs
which included the MP acct info to perform the same action as the launcher by adding the different keys to switch MP accounts.

My question is, if after re-installing vanilla FL and before installing Disco, would adding the registry key that I'm
currently using streamline/simplify the update and allow the Disco server to recognize me as the same user automatically?

I'm having troubles patching my game back up to the current version (haven't patched for a few months so quite behind). The launcher gives an error P01 "Access to the path [My path to Disco]\20231130-hotfix.zip is denied." I've run it in admin mode, no change. I've checked my folder and the zip file is there. I looked on here for help and for P01 it suggests downloading the patch zip file manually. I downloaded 20231223-hotfix.zip successfully, but in trying to download the pesky 20231130-hotfix.zip my download history says "needs permission to download".

I'm stuck and not terribly computer literate. Any suggestions on things I can try to fix this?

Does the Launcher attribute the Launcher accounts to a user based on the Freelancer account information registry string?

Meaning, if I export the account info as a .reg file, and after installing FL on the new computer, can I simply apply that .reg file to the newly installed FL on the new computer so that the Launcher will pick up my user ID and make my existing launcher accounts available without further ado?

Or is there another process to make re-installation painless?]]>

I just tried to log into Freelancer, through the Discovery Launcher, after some time and I received the error code C06. Having checked your page on Error codes (https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...fig%20file.), you advised that I get in touch, as it's pretty rare.

Any help would be fantastic, as I am super keen to get back to playing this game.

I have just made a fresh install of Freelancer and Disco, but despite doing all the steps in the installation guide, the game keeps crashing after launching via Launcher.

I did:
  • disabled antivirus
  • fresh install of FL as Administrator
  • fresh install of Disco as Administrator
  • activated .Net 3.5 Framework (tried both manual and via command prompt)
  • activated DirectPlay (tried both manual and via command prompt)
  • added FL, Launcher and both the data folders to antivirus Whitelist
  • installation 1 (With Bloom) tried both WITH and WITHOUT Bloom, no effect
  • installation 2 (without Bloom) no effect
  • launching in compatibility mode with XP (both servicepacks)
  • launching as Administrator
  • tried adding DSAce.dll and Disco Freelancer folder as expections in antivirus as suggested in https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...tid=107028


Any suggestions please? Thank you kindly]]>

So in simple words,
Can anyone play this on a gaming notebook and force-use their main GPU?
Can someone point me out how to force the discovery launcher to choose the good GPU or the Freelancer app? like .ini editing and such stuff... :S ?

Thanks for reading eh, I really cant get a good FPS out of that MoBo's GPU...

If you are not using that version then the bug report will be ignored.

So as of late, as you'd expect, I've been bombarded with feature requests and bug reports for the Launcher. So many I've begun to lose track of what's been reported, what I've taken care of, and what actually needs to be done. So, this thread can be used to help keep everything organised and actually tell me what needs to be done and what's been done already.
Initially, I didn't plan on making such a thread, but I've forgotten half the things people have told me.

With that said and out of the way:

I'm stealing the dev bug report template because it's simple.
