Getting to multiplayer

[p2ranger]

I have a friend that just got Freelancer. He has installed it and he got the mod manager and the mod for the void. When he goes to play multiplayer, it asks for a multiplayer id. He wrote down the one that showed up when he installed it, but it says its an invalid number.

How can I get him setup to play on the void?

Thanks

Redownload the mod from this link and try again also is your Freelancer a copy?

@ p2ranger, did they right it down correctly? also there are No O in the number only 0 (Zero) this can sometimes be the problem.

We will try using Zero. Not sure if he did that yet. Good idea.

Also, it is a used full copy of Freelancer. I bought it off ebay for him. I'm assuming the authentication of the multiplayer ID is local as MS doesn't support the game, I wouldn't think that there is a server somewhere that may have the ID as banned or duplicated.

I seem to remember it being more straight forward when I did this for myself.

Thanks

Thanks for the help. So the solution we found was that we had to apply the patch from Microsoft bringing it up to v 1.1. Without the patch, it won't generate the multiplayer ID. Seems like a big thing to leave out of the first release.
