Here is how you can join your Freelancer dedicated server. Players need the same version of the game as your server, so check which Mod your server runs before connecting.
Server Mod | What players need |
|---|---|
vanilla | Freelancer with the official 1.1 update installed. Players on version 1.0 can't join. |
discovery | Discovery installed and started through the Discovery Launcher, so it's on the latest patch. |
crossfire | Crossfire 2.0.1 installed. |
Caution
Your server runs Freelancer 1.1. If you're playing vanilla and haven't installed the 1.1 update, your game won't see or join the server.
