hi Masterkamon,i am not sure of the exact error you're getting but the general recommendation is to install the SDK 1.3 available here:

http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/downloa ... asp?id=721

or if you'd like to spice up your FL experience while also fixing it go here
http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/downloa ... sp?id=1119 and get the SDK packaged with the spinning planets fix & battleship encounters

good luck!

Well, i cannot understand nothing at all, I ve followed the steps explained by electricbrain, and now its worse, i only hear the shootings!!! Just like some other ppl in this forum. How come it works for some ppl and not for others? Now, i would prefere it as it was before, when i could here a message once and a while.... But most importantly, WTF is wrong with mission 3???? After getting out of that iceberg looking station, we fly towards 3 rheinland ships, and thats it, nothin else, STRICTLY nothin happens after that, cant attack, cant dock, cant comunicate, cant land... I ve noticed this problems reccures in many forums, and noone can give a complete answer to help... I never thought this game would be so deceiving, especially becoz of such stupid technical problems... I'll be extremely thankfull if some of u guys coud change my mind

Hello folks. Just got my new computer system and figured I dust off my copy of Freelancer and see how it works (with some mods this time). Everything works great except for one intermitten problem I have.

Every now and again when I'm going through a jump gate (hasn't happened going through a jump hole yet), on the other end of it when I'm about to arrive in my destination system (after the white light and loading stuffs), the game suddenly crashes and my system restarts. Anyone know what might be the cause of this? This has happened both with and without mods, as well as with v1.0, 1.1, and the unofficail v1.4 I got somewhere....if it helps my system specs are as follows:

AMD Athalon 64 3500+
Gigabyte nVidia nForce 4 PCI-Express board
Windows XP SP2
2GB DDR PC3200 memory
nVidia GeForce 6600 256mb PCI-E


On occasions, I've been able to reload from the auto save and I'm at my destonation system, which is nice but rather inconvenient to have to do. I spent al l night trying to find a way to get the Sith Inflitrator ship from the SW ships mod and having to jump between a bunch of systems became a royal pain with this happening. Again, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: Oh, and if anyone could give me some insight on how to get to Sigma-17 that'd help a bunch, the Red Hessians hate my guts so I'm not sure I'd be able to get the Sith Infiltrator in Dresden.

Edit: hehe, just read on one of the othe boards the problem might be the 3D sound. I'll try that tonight after work and post back here if it fixes it or not.

Hi,

I'm having a problem with freelancer. I use to have it installed on my computer in the past and it worked fine but now for some reason the display is strange.
All the graphics work apart from the works, popups, help, radio calls, menu buttons. The font is ok in some sections and in others you can't read it at all. I can't read the maps either, all the words are squished up. Can someone help me.
I have tried different screen sizes, colours and refresh rates and it doesn't seem to work.

I am at a loss

Hello,
I recently installed the Crossfire mod for FL. In single player, I am at the mission near Benford station in the NY system. I'm supposed to run through the "working" NY -> Magellan jump gate, and I do. But during my hyper jump, the neural net pops up and says i failed the mission "you failed to jump to the magellan system" yeah right I even tried to restart it all the way from NY, instead of the Auto save which is at Benford, Help please :'(
