Well, i was going to ask Microsoft this directly, but i think its outrageous they charge you $60 to ask them something, so i came here.
Here is my problem. I just bought the game Freelancer and i think its a pretty good game. the problem is that i cant get it to connect online, but 1 player works fine. I have done some research and have found that the problem is probably directplay, either vista doesn't have it or it doesn't work the same way that xp's does.
So, is there a way to get this directplay on vista or make freelancer work with it?
I have windows firewall and macafee security. I know windows firewall is not the problem because i turned it off and it still didn't work. Then there is Macafee, i have a free version that comes with having comcast, and i have disabled the firewall on it.
If anyone has some suggestions i would love to hear them. I would love to try and play this game online.
