Taking off

Serious Prob here, in non-story missions, (i.e servers, freelancing after Story) I cant take off from a bases, when I do, the game crashes to desktop. Really odd, I tried uninstalling, deleting all folders and re-installing, nothing worked. I tried doing some story missions, and when I take off, nothin happens, I just go on playing the game fine.

And Ideas how to fix, also happens with Open SP mods, and any mods attached to it.

Have you deleted your save games folder? After that, fraid I don't have a clue.

Deleted everything, all folders, still nothing. (WHY DO I ALWAYS GET A SCREWED UP GAME???????????????????)

One sugjestion, the usuall uninstall, remove the game folder, reinstall, then SDK then try again.

Ok, I managed to fix most of the problem, by fixing errors in the files by using DATASTORM to find them.

However, I still cant take off from ANYWHERE is Liberty, but I can take off from anyhwere else i.e Kursari, Bretonia, Reinland, Borderworlds.

I'm building several mods right now, a Long-Range Torpedo, a Ship (the Arkon) and the New Sydney System. All the problems seem to be comiong from these, My Torpedo had errors, which fixed a few probs, but the Ship and System dont have anything wrong with them.

I fixed about 50% but I still need help with the rest, please help!

Darkfighter, I tried that, its didnt worked

Your problem never was a technical problem and therefore this is the wrong forum. If you can name the cause of the problems (torp, new system etc.) then go to the Editing forum and post there what you have done.
The people with the knowledge to overview your files are there.

nope, got rid of the mods, its def a tech issue, I did a scan on the mods, no prob, therefore its a problem with my game

Post Thu Nov 24, 2005 3:34 pm

Yay I fixed it!

I spent 2 hours going through EVERY SINGLE THING TO SO WITH FREELANCER IN MY COMPUTER..............

And I found that the file for liberties background was missing, so I replaced it with my backups.

Thanks everyone!

Is this file missing on your CD ?
Do you have a original game or a downloaded version ?
Or did you 'cheat' us when writing you DID re-install ?

If the answer is yes to the FIRST question then please give us more details (Publisher, version (US, GB or whatever), etc.)

For everything else I think it's best to forget it as soon as possible

No-I dunno why I dint have the files

I have a proper CD that I got for $60 at Electronics Boutitiqe

The problem is finished, and I did re-install. I dunni why I didnt have those files.
