Mission 3, bugged? (can''t continue)

Tue Jan 27, 2004 7:47 am by anoxia

First of all, hi =) I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I'll give it a shot.

Alright.
I'm stuck at mission 3 (the one with the alien artifacts). After I've docked at the research lab, I buy some eqiupment and repair my ship, then I take off to meet June in space. Then I head for the waypoint, and then I meet three military ships. They're all neutral. A short movie rolls (I can't hear the sound, for some reason), and then nothing happens. I've tried the following:

Shot them (mission fails, they're neutral).
Continued to the nearest lane, couldn't dock.
Flew around for some time, just to find more of these military ships (always 3 together).

It seems like there's missing something, that the game suddenly stops.

Well, I'm also eager for some explanation

I have similar problem, I'm stuck at Kzoto Base and the game won't allow me to gain level 16...all I could do is fly around universe, collect incredible amounts of money and not being able to use them, beacuse all cool weaps / shields/ ships are limited bz some level over 20:/

Will someone help us out? Plz?

Freelancer is quite a buggy game... ive had problems like those too.
Reinstalling the game should fix them, don't worry about your save games because freelancer doesn't delete them.

Thx a lot

I thought about this solution myself, but I rather asked first...it might have been some known bug

For the bug where you see the movie but can't hear anything: There are some sound cards that don't work well with Freelancer. There are also some events that are triggered by the communications. If the sound card doesn't work well, the communication will never occur, and hence the next part of the mission will never be triggered.

For the one stuck at Kyoto...try this. Try buying expensive equipment, launching and dropping it, then buying more, repeat etc. Try to get BELOW the amount needed to trigger the mission, then make money again to get back above that amount. It might trigger the mission, I'm not sure, but maybe worth a try.

So I can't play Freelancer because of my soundcard? (EPoX EP-8rd+). I tried a re-install, didn't work. Updated my sounddrivers, didn't work either.. Could someone send me a mission 4 savegame then

? Or is there a patch available that fix this (not 1.7)?
