Issues fixed

Circumventing FreeZone restrictions

Add a server to your favorites[1]
If playing with a free account, having a server in your favorites enables you to join it even if it's not FreeZone.
You need to know the server's login name and make sure the game's tmtp protocol is installed.
Free accounts can only have 5 servers max in their favorites list.
  1. Type in your web browser tmtp://#addfavourite=<serverlogin>
  2. Make sure it asks to open the link with TMNF, enable it.
  3. Server will be added to your favorites once the game loads. You should now be able to access it from your favorites menu.

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/11020/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (11020) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
