It's pro'lly a bug. I can't help you much, there. I believe someone said that you needed to reinstall the game...I really don't know. This problem is quite common, though, so I know there is a solution.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I am having the same problem. I was looking arround on some of the other forum's and found one post that talked about not leveling up after insatalling the 1.1 patch. In that case the person, can't remember who, said that they uninstalled FL, and reinstalled using original CD and did NOT apply the patch. Once they started up their saved game, they baught and sold a commodity and bingo, level up.

I am going to try this tonight and see if it fixes my problem. I did install the patch.

I installed the patch as well. If this works for you let me know!

The buy-and sell a commodity trick works even without the patch, you don't really need it...


Careful what you wish... You might just get it.

Chetnik, it is quite probably the patch that turns on old temporary glitch into a large permanent problem.

OK, I have sucessfully advanced to level 9 and then 10. Here's what I did.
- Uninstall freelancer, do NOT remove savegame information.
- Install freelancer.
- buy commodity. I just bought something that was yellow and only a quantity of 1.
- Exit commodity window, level up. I then re-sold the same commodity.

It would seem that the 1.1 patch is the culprit.

Hi, I was in the same situation, just before Level 10 you have to rescue some scientist, forgot the name, the base gets destroyed and you meet up with 2 deserters which help you blow up a battleship.

I was stuck once I got to Leeds and to pass level 10 I needed 93k$ but I had 160. What I did was loaded tthe previous autosave mission and proceeded from there. I only had to do two missions to make up the missing money and then Juni gave me instructions to find a chap in the dublin system.

I might have been able to do that from the mission 4 stuff, I however had amassed a fair amount of credits and some decent weapons and shields that I didn't want to loose all of that.

For me it was the FL patch that caused me the problem in the first place. Don't know if starting from previous saved game would have worked.

its a temporary glitch, revert to ur save games b4 the u reach leeds, means during ur mission satatus
