I discovered this game a couple days ago and installed it straight away.
I booted it up and set up a single player game, and I got the error message "Connection to the server has been lost" whilst the client was generating the universe.
After searching for solutions, I have tried disabling the firewall and adding the program to the whitelist, but these did not work.
I really want to give this game a go, but I can't while this problem persists.
Thanks for your help in advance

Ok, first things first: which version of FO did you download, and what platform (Win, OSX, Linux, exact version) are you on?

Re: Single-player: "Connection to the server has been lost"
Oops, probably should've mentioned that earlier...
I'm running Windows 10 with v0.4.5 of FreeOrion installed.
I haven't had any problems with running programs on Windows 10 as of yet, but I suppose there's a first time for everything.

Re: Single-player: "Connection to the server has been lost"
Before starting a game, go into the options window, other tab, and set the effects processing threads setting to 1, then try starting the game.
If that doesn't work, post the .log files from immediately after getting such a crash. The log files are in the directory discussed here: http://freeorion.org/index.php/Config.xml

Re: Single-player: "Connection to the server has been lost"
It appears that either setting the effects processing threads to 1 or re-naming the folder where I keep all my game installations has fixed the problem.
Probably the first one.
ty very much for your help
