I think you are mistaken the port of flex with the gameserver port. Just leave the port away when connecting. but I agree having something like "port" in the config, without any further details WHICH port it is is confusing.

[IAmNotHanni]

@movabo You have to start the server via Inexor flex web interface before you can connect to it:

Open any browser and look for localhost:31416

To start a server in Inexor flex, go to "instances" and click "start":

Then click "connect":

Without the same error appears:

@IAmNotHanni That's exactly the procedure i followed all the times.

[IAmNotHanni]

Try /map cartel.

Make sure to click "connect" in inexor flex web UI before trying to load a map.

[movabo]

Aha, okay. That did it. But that's still way too complicated!

[IAmNotHanni]

Aha, okay. That did it. But that's still way too complicated!

Yes that's why we need to fix it :)
