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!

Essox,
The servers don't seem to be updating your server.dat any longer for some reason.

Grab the network server file at http://www.simfiles.com

then you will be all set

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?

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.

Yes you can just keep a copy of the working one for later installs.
