Frequently asked questions

Help, I can't connect to WOL without MF. What should I do?

Open MF and close it again. Now you should be able to connect to WOL again. If that doesn't work, delete the hosts file in your Windows directory.

How do I activate MF on Windows NT/2000/XP?

MF requires read/write access to the hosts file. If it can't get access, it won't be activated automatically. You should login with an admin account.

MF just kicked my buddy, while the points filter was disabled. Why did it do that?

There are more filters that MF uses. Players that are on the black/red list and players that have more than eight disconnect/wash games, are filtered out.

Could you add extra points filters to MF?

No.
