Humm, the file is much larger now.

I will try again. It did not work last time?

Well I must be doing it wrong.
No game now.. hehe I can restore it but my mods are not loading, .

then you screwed up horribly, works for anyone else who does it right
check your syntax in the inis, make sure all properties are correct, etc.

Here's what I do. First, drag and drop the ini on the uncompressor. It'll create xxxx.ini.txt. Next, copy the ini, then paste it. This will create "Copy of xxxx.ini", which is useful as a backup. Next, delete the ini. Then rename the "xxxx.ini.txt" to "xxxx.ini". It'll warn you that changing the filetype can make it unstable or whatever. Just click yes. Now you can edit the ini file, and Freelancer will still read it.
