Hovis Race Bug

Greetings all,


In mission 6, after I have beaten Hovis, the game seems to freeze. Just as the race ends, the battle music is still playing, and I cannot dock with anything: The Hood, stargate etc. I am stil able to fly, and shoot, and mine, but the communication channels are silent, and I can do nothing else. When I try to dock, it does not say "Dock Denied", it says "Unable to dock". I have replayed this race 26 times now trying to find the answer. I have the Freelancer9c add on from Lancers Reactor, and nothing else. My Machine has the following specifications;

P4 2.4 Gig
1 gig ddr400 memory
Windows Xp Pro
Ati 9700 pro card
I would appreciate any feed back, including what is supposed to happen once you beat Hovis. I tried shooting one of the Race Track wepons platforms once, and then I got a "Mission Failed" message. Any suggestions please?

thanks again

Wyndigo

What does Freelancer9c do?

I have a feeling it might do it.

Otherwise, you also could try reinstalling.

Greetings, thank you for replying,


The mod makes the game more difficult. I have tried reinstalling it, and it may be that I must take it out all together. But noone else has reported any trouble with it. It is a very popular mod. here is its full name :

Freelancer Rebalance MOD v0.9c

It is the only mod that I use. If it is the problem, then I would have to start the game all over again. which is an option, but I would like to at least know what the problem is.

Thanks again,

Wyndigo

Unless you have a ship only available in the mod, you should be able to uninstall it, the resume your latest save, without starting over. Haven't seen this myself, but haven't used this mod at that point. If you didn't back up, reinstall without removing saved games, takes time, but works. Use the Freelancer Mod Manager available here, makes it easy.

I hate Hovis.
