Re: direct play for microsoft games [freelancer]


hello
i am playing fl on vista and on line
the problme hase to do with vires protections!!!!!!
i have dune exparments. i have un instaled my nortan antivres.
fired up freelancer conect to servers no problme.
reinstaled nortan same erro as you get server hase gone off line.
now if you have vista 64 bit build then there is not much use of vires
protection yet cause no one hase realy made any vires that work on a 64 bit
machine so far.
but do exparemnts and try . un install your vires protection and i bet you
will be able to get on servers. i dont know y this is. but from what im
finding out is it hase to do with something they added in windows to work
with the antivres soft were.
so if ya want to play fl on line then ya have to dump your antivres
