Hi! I've got a problem with my video adapter: the game crashes to desktop just after displaying the splash screen (the one with "FREELANCER" written across the screen) or the intro movie (the first time I tried after installing the game at least). I've tried to update the game both with the MS patch (v1.1) and the QuickFix from Louva-Deus (1.0c) but there were no changes at all! Then I updated the drivers to the last WHQL Certified version form NVidia (93.71) and the DirectX (9.0c) all to no avail
Searching this forum I've found a quite old topic (2004) about this problem with the same video adapter: it said to use a quite old version of the drivers (49.something) and to set the resolution to 800x600....what I'd like to know is: is there any other solution to this problem?? I'd rather not downgrade the driver so much 'cause I fear newer game can cease to function and 800x600 is quite a low res for today PCs! I noticed that the patch from Louva adds my board to the list of supported video adapters so I hope this means that all is not lost!!
Thanks,

BioEgo
