And freelancer does not use a Joystick it uses the mouse only

Due to the lack of DirectPlay in DirectX 10, Freelancer cannot connect to ANY servers.

Ever since I got a new system with vista I can not Play my Freelancer game on line. No direct play in DirectX 10.
Any way to down grade to Direct X 9? Love how microsoft are not even compatible with there own stuff. Real smooth.

Have had another go and can now connect to my own server as well as all others on my vista system so seems to be all ok now

give it a go,

not used compatability mode to do this

Game runs fine in single player but is completely unable to connect to ANY multiplayer servers. It is able to see independently hosted servers in the server list by connecting directly, but when attempting to logon it fails every time. All necessary ports are forwarded on the router and the program is in the firewall exception list. Anyone know a workaround?

Freelancer multiplayer servers are down, hence the reason it won't find any global servers.
