Author	Topic: New install- cant get all the servers
esox Pilot	posted 06-24- 10:35 AM I've been having some weird anamolies with my FS installation, so I decided it was time to do a fresh install. I renamed my FS directory. Then I re-installed to a new directory. Applied 1.5 patch, 5.3 plane pack, 5.3b patch. Now, when I go to Network, I can only see 4 servers: US1, US2, UK1, and one of the Australian servers. Even with these four, I can't get any lobbies. I thought maybe the net was just hosed, but I went back to my original installation and all the servers show up there! Any ideas what I did wrong, or what's causing this? I need a quick answer as the War must continue tomorrow! Esox =FC= [This message has been edited by esox (edited 06-24-2000).] IP: Logged

nealg Pilot	posted 06-24- 01:26 PM Quick question, then, regarding this; if you are contemplating a fresh install, could you theoretically make a backup of your current server file and use it? Or would that screw up the fresh install? ------------------ nealg=FC= IP: Logged
esox Pilot	posted 06-24- 02:57 PM Thank you dOgma that turned the trick for that problem. In fact, (listen up Nealg ) I copied my old servers.dat file and it works. I have another problem now. Please see new thread. E IP: Logged
