The Freelancer QuickFix Patch is an unofficial patch for Freelancer that updates the game to the latest clean version. The patch includes all of the fixes from the Freelancer S.D.K. v1.3b (over 2000); it fixes some major Audio Hardware problems, updates the Video Hardware support, and fixes numerous minor problems with the game. This is designed to be a unified package that will attempt to represent a true patch to the game. <span style="text-decoration: underline">This was not designed to be used as a base for mod projects (for that you should use the Freelancer S.D.K.).</span>

<li>Advanced Graphics</li>
<li>Advanced Error Logging (Which makes troubleshooting problems easier)</li>
<li>Updated/Fixed freelancer.ini file</li>
<li>Updated video hardware support</li>
<li>Includes over 2000 code fixes from the Freelancer SDK v1.3b</li>
<li>Includes the battleship mismatched loadout crash fix (New!!)</li>
<li>Includes Freelancer Web Launcher v3.1.1.0 (see weblaunch.txt) (New!!)</li>
<li>The installer adds several new links to the Freelancer Web Links folder in your Start Menu (New!!)</li>
</ul>


Note: known issues with version 1.0c of the patch:
<ul>
<li>1. There are errors in the ini files! Yes.. this version of the patch is based on the 1.3b S.D.K. (because it is the only <span style="text-decoration: underline">stable</span> version of the S.D.K. out right now).</li>

<li>2. Battleship stations caused the client to crash if the client and server's loadouts_special.ini file were different. **Fixed March 13, 2007**</li>

<li>3. The installer can only apply the perfoptions.ini changes on the active user, so if there are multiple windows users who play the game they will need to run the install again for each.</li>

<li>4. You may need to reinstall the drivers for your video card, download newer ones, and/or reinstall the latest version of DirectX if your Video Card is not working properly.</li>

<li>5. GeForce 6600 GT owners: your card seems to have some problems with Freelancer. Make sure you are using updated drivers.</li>

<li>6. A very few people will experience severe problems if 3D Sound is disabled. If you are one of them, you can easily re-enable it in the game options.</li>
</ul>
Note: If the game ever crashes and you get one of those famous error reports you should send it in because Microsoft does check these out and updates their F.A.Q. from time to time.

Important:<span style="text-decoration: underline"> This is an unofficial patch and neither Microsoft nor Digital Anvil will support it, so don't go asking them about it.</span>

It is recommended that you use this patch instead of any others available in the community as it represents the cleanest and most updated codebase. The Freelancer QuickFix Patch replaces all of the following releases:
<ul>
