Newbie in trouble!

The place to ask for technical help with running the demo or the full game...

Newbie in trouble!

Hi all,

So far I've just been playing the demo, but having a great time. However, I have a problem that I haven't seen mentioned here yet - I occasionally "crash" when I'm trading goods. Most of the time it's Ok, but now and then it will just crash, and it could be while selling or buying an item. I say crash, but actually I just get dumped to the advert screen you get in the demo when you quit.

For example, I was trying to build up some cash by running Boron from Pittsburgh to Manhattan, and taking food back. I would get dumped when selling the Boron in Manhattan, repeatedly (I saved the game before trading). However, I could go to another station and sell, no problem. I'm hoping this won't be a problem when I buy the full game, as I still intend to do this! My video and sound card drivers are up to date (Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS/Soundblaster Live). The action part of the game runs fine, so it seems silly to have a problem with the trade screen! Anyone have any ideas?

Apart from that, I have a couple of non-technical questions, but I'll post them in the main forum.

Thanks in advance!

Your probably near leveling up right? Freelancer demo quits when you reach level 10 or something near there. Just buy the full version and continue the adventure. You can take it from all (well at least most) that Freelancer is worth the money.

The max level on the demo is level 2 the only way round this is buy the game

As soon as you hit the next level requirement (roughly around 28Kish) then it will end the game. It did that to me after I did a mission for the bounty hunters.

Well, actually there is a way. One of the mods available here can make it so you'll never reach the limit, but you can't change your ship. I believe the mod was titled 'Worthless Saves' or something like that. I know it's available here but I'm too lazy to find it for you.
