I am not a networking guru but if the MTU in combination with firewall is a problem than can anybody explain the following:

My netLog clearly states that MTU is set to 1500 (which is automatically detected in my router). I have switched off my local firewall and even my router's firewall to check if the problem is within my own network.

Even with all firewalls off I cannot connect nor login. It depends on the server you get connected to. Sometimes it does login and then the sidewinder is spinning forever.
So how can there be a firewall problem if I have no firewall(s)?

Black screen twhen the game starts, I can not even see the introduction.
I can not even get to the menu screen (And then you have the courage to speak ill of Egosoft and his Xrebirth)...........

I can't explain it, but I do know from other places in the forums and in other research that the MTU setting does seem to be holding up lots of people. I have Cisco VPN running on my PC for other uses and this forces the MTU down to 1300 in my Windows 7 config. FD will have to allow for the lowest common denominator. I have raised a ticket.

Srver runned by FD

I have a question about the servers. Are these runned by FD or did they in someway "outsource" the servers to another company? That would explain the "long" time without a fix.

Anyway I appreciate your hard work (and nightshifts)on that and that you keep us informed so well. :)

Could not connect to server - is it up or down?

Is there somewhere that says what the server status is? Are they releasing a new patch or something?

I would say it's "iffy", I've done a few runs this morning, and been dropped out a couple of times, on reconnecting it varies whether I get in or get booted.

The servers are still unhappy, I suspect they are in need of loving care, cookies and hot chocolate. Or my preferred incentive, a claw hammer.

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for continuing to test and play the game. The team knows about the issues some of you are experiencing, and are working hard at a further update. I'll let you know as as soon as we have more information.

Make sure you log all issues by filling out a ticket. Thanks again.

Servers are probably up but there's connectivity issue with them ATM. FD is probably going to fix it later today. Meanwhile, if you want to try various "workarounds" in case you are feeling like desperately playing, you can check few tricks mentioned here.

Upgrade patch 2.02 made it worse for me now :( can't even play tutorial.

Game loads to the first menu screen.
Server : 54.228.136.5:19364 (UNCONNECTED)
Then when I move the mouse over the menu it locks up.
Music still playing in the back ground but the mouse clicking menu sound stuck in a loop cycle. Ctrl Alt Del to kill the client.

Sigh..... waiting in expectation for patch 2.03 :smilie:

I too am having problems. Each time I do a transition e.g. do a jump to a new system, there is a chance of loosing a connection and having to start again and have another go at the jump. Some times its taken 5 goes.

Do a full reinstall, remove all directories (backup binding xml files).

Some of updates yesterday clearly had problems of being applied correctly. Thus full reinstall is good thing to do.

Same here, any word on this specific problem?

It seems the last two updates have fixed everything BUT this problem that so many of us are having...

I was really looking forward to testing the new features out but haven't been able to get in to the game since 2.00 was released.

Have any of the developers specifically acknowledged this issue of the main menu freeze and Server : 54.228.136.5:19364 (UNCONNECTED) message?

Thanks in advance, trying to be patient but it's not easy sometimes when you love something so much and you can't access it! :(

I wouldn't mess around with any MTU settings. if the entire frame goes over 1500 and it passes a switch that has a MAX MTU size of 1500 then that packet will be blackholed.

There are just bugs in their system, and you're getting variable results likely as a result of the server not responding correctly.

The firewall has nothing to do with MTU size unless there's a firewall rule to drop anything over 1500 Frame Size. Even if that's the case, turning off both firewalls is a really bad idea. Turn them back on and wait for the fix. (Might be worth scanning your machine if you've been surfing, downloading have a static IP on your external Interface or use DynDns or an equivalent for anything)

I tried this. Twice.
Toasted everything ED from my PC. Everything.

Still locks as soon as the menu appears.

We just have to wait for the devs to work their magic...which means there is no excuse for me not to do some work of my own :( :D
