This is also the way some of my other online multiplayer games behave, and I have stopped playing them online, as well. The Phoenix online server only advertises the host sessions and when you join one, the connection goes directly to the Host session and not through the server. Via Phoenix -> System -> Downloads (bottom left) 'always check for updates when I run Phoenix' you can turn that off. I do not understand why it indicates an update to you because the Phoenix download server is empty and I now only use it for communication. I only set up the server to be able to fly online again without additional software. The ftp server of 'Runtime Games Limited' contained files such as the installation dvd, models, maps but also the Phoenix online server.Īfter some research I found out how the Phoenix online server works and after a month of testing I bought the domain and linked it to the server.
