[LEGACY]How to join a server and install FreeSO

If anyone is kind, and got time, could someone make a tutorial with picture or a video step by step?
Since no matter how I follow this thread, I always ending up with errors :(
I would really be grateful :)
 
Alright, well I followed all of the instructions, but this is the error message I'm receiving upon booting up the FreeSO client:

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
 
If you're using the graphics card that usually causes this error, it's likely not going to work. There ought to be a way to get monogame working with a software renderer for people with old cards like this...

WORKED! How to put in full screen?

I should make a "How To Fullscreen" thread since it seems like a question brought up a lot.
First, go to FreeSO.exe.config and open it with notepad. Make sure you're not in FreeSO.exe. Once FreeSO is closed, find the following lines:
< setting name="GraphicsWidth" serializeAs="String">
< value>1024</value> <--edit
< /setting>
< setting name="GraphicsHeight" serializeAs="String">
< value>768</value> <--edit
< /setting>

No need to change them, but you can if you want. Next find these lines:
<setting name="Windowed" serializeAs="String">
< value>True</value>
< /setting>​
Click to expand...
Change the Value from True to False.
Post back if you have questions.

Note that you will have to do this every update!
 
You can set the freeso resolution to anything, though less than 800x600 will cause severe problems, and between 800x600 and 1024x768 may cause undefined behaviour.

I assume rendering will be fine, but what I'm curious about is how will the UI behave? As far as I know the UI is only designed for two resolutions, it doesn't stretch, it's just graphics that are used. (I saw how the UIGraphics worked since there was a program that allowed the stuff to be extracted)
 
iv tryed full screen but it flickerys so windowd at 1600 x 900 is decent for me you should try other res tho

UI snaps to bottom left of screen (UCP, build/buy/live) at 1024x768 mode on sizes greater than it. CAS is the only thing that doesnt scale correctly.
 
Hi. Saw that this project was ready for play testing. So, I jumped at the chance to try out the game. But, I've run into a problem.

The game starts up and I log in with the EA account I made during install. The game then attempts to connect to EA servers and gets stuck at 25% and then eventually tells me it can't connect. How do I get past this step?
