Ever since installing Osiris mod V on my game it crashed after showing the into movies (sp) when this mod is deactivated. It seems only certain combinations of mods allow the game to work... i was even dumb enough to delete my saved games in a vain attempt to get the darn thing working again... to no avail. Any way to fix this short of reinstalling?

listen, when you activate a mod, check the rest of the mods, and if their letter color is not black, DON'T activate them. ok?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm goiong to ask you some stupidly dumb questions so if i can help

a) did you use FLMM?
b) if so did you try the restore backups option?

Thank you for your time!

If neither of those work, you can always try Freelancer SDK, which is a collection of the original ini files. Get it here

do a clean intstall. Uninstall it, then delete the game folders, then the saved games folders, then re-install.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

NO NO NO!!!!!!

Go to FLMM - then go to the tools option, now click on the "go to save game folder" and then once there delete all the save games!!

This is a very common problem, PLEASE do this and you will be working in seconds. Whilst all the other suggestions are good for problems involving missing files, or corrupt stuff, its just this that is causing the problem for you.

ALWAYS do this after using a mod to avoid crashes.

The reason is because you have a save game, or autosave that has YOU in a ship, or with weapons, that does not normally exist....hence the game has a fit and dies...

you know what? chips is right. Sometimes we just forget about those simple things.

@Chips- I think you might be a little late!

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You don't NEED to - only if you crash. Usually just the autosave will work, but if it still crashes, then delete delete delete. You can cut and paste savegames ELSEWHERE to my documents to be returned when needed IF you must
