I am having the same problem. im running a gforce 4 and have done all the upgrades. uninstalled and reinstalled the game. made sure all my stuff was up to date with MS. Thing was working fine last night now as soon as it opens to the freelancer screen after the video but before it brings up the menue it closes. it is still showing in the task bar but all i can do with it is close. Help would be greatly apreciated.

*peers inquiringly out of his cave.*



OK im an idiot. hit ms and this worked for me:::

Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Display.
On the Settings tab, click Advanced.
Click the Troubleshoot tab.
Move the Hardware Acceleration slider two notches to the left of Full (the Disable all cursor and advanced drawing accelerations setting).
Click OK, and then click OK again.
Test the game

worked and all running fine now. hope it helps.

Well I tried what you posted and it made no difference. I don't know what the heck is going on. On day it's fine and the next it's screwed up. Got me pissed off too. Right when I get everything going good. Anybody got any other ideas? Thanks for you help by the way.

Have you read the sticked thread at the top? It could be a save game file - so in my documents/my games/freelancer/accts/singleplayer/
delete all the saves in there

Figured it out. I had a single player game the was corrupt most likely due to a mod I tried and saved then removed it. So then when it tried to start the game reads the saved game files and when it hit that incompatable/corrupt file, it crashed. I just found the last single player saved game I had (looked at the date) and deleted it. Now everything works just fine. Thanks for your help.
