Freelancer Support

Since SP has now been mentioned, one cause is installing the official patch part way through the story. The internal mission numbers changed (from Mission 3, iirc), preventing the level from being recognized. A solution is to edit the latest save game, search for MissionNum and add one to it.

Moved from the FLServer admins public area to Freelancer Support. Welcome to TSP.

Thanks for all your reply’s i think the problem has now been fixed i just installed Windows Server 2008 32X Enterprise and it supports all the ram 😄 but did have to disable IPV6 as per usual lol

I’ll inform Cannon and act based on his decision.

is it an original Microsoft CD or the budget release version?, are you using vanilla FL or running a mod?

Only the original Microsoft Freelancer.exe will ask you for the CD, as it’s only the original disc that has the CD security built into it that the .exe is looking for.

Which means your either using the budget version and are running a mod that uses the original .exe, or your CD is a copy/pirate of the M$ version.

Thanks for your help! I tried a bit more troubleshooting and then decided to do the clean install of Freelancer and JFLP. That… fixed it. Don’t know why but I am happy with it!

Amazing how many of the keyboard shortcuts I remember after about 5 five years since the last playthrough.

I’ve got the same problem. Unfortunately I’ve pretty much given up trying to fix it and use a Windows XP VM to run FL in.

Two people have managed it that I’m aware of:

Thanks! that helps alot

Try using flscan2, pretty freakin good at catching encounter problems.

or just use the global server workaround by w0dk4

& many mods have inbuilt ips

According to the Shortcuts:

why not simply create a batch script ( BAT or CMD file)
for each ID file ( REG ) .
Its kinda inconvenient, but as u dont like FAM u need to find alternatives 😄

short example cuz im in a hurry:
@echo off
REGEDIT /S x:\path\filename.REG
freelancer.exe

greetz,

Put it there!
This is vanilla by default.

Hi I had a quick look at the laptop specs and it appears that the default screen resolution is

“Display
The window to applications, the Internet and more
Help me decide Choices:
15.6” High Definition HP LED Brightview (1366x768)
15.6" Full HD HP Anti-glare LED (1920 x 1080) "

Unless you have the upgraded HD screen 768 is the max vertical resolution, the 1024 is because the vanilla game is 4:3 format and not widescreen.

Some mods like SWWT have wide screen support but the screen can’t display anything better than the max native resolution.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply MOD!

Yeah, I loaded a previous save and the problem was gone. Weird that no one has ever encountered this before, but I can continue now, so all is well.

I’ll just need to be sure to save as often as possible (which I try to do anyway) in case this happens again.

What i would need is a Programm that would enable me to be a kind of Game Master on a Freelancer Server i run.

The basic idea is to implement the Freelancer Game into a Live Role Play Game where every Player is a Pilot who can dock on a capital Ship and where a Game Master can determine where enemys are, how many etc.

I don’t think any of the Server Ops would let you do this?

You would need to get toknow a mod really well and just move players into the relevant system for combat situations.

In my mod we had an arena system where two teams could be placed, one at each end, for combat to the death of all, like team jousting. And another system with 24 levels of combat from the easiest to the hardest, so players could take each stage when they were ready and good enough.

That was quite popular wth new players as they could work their way up.

Do you realise that players can have up to 5 characters each, so they can place one in each system they are interested in, so that for example one character can be placed in an arena system and another in a jousting system? As server manager you can give them lots of money to each new character, and move them to systems where they can buy the ships and equipment they want, so you can set up very quickly.

If you say more of what you want to be able to do, people here can advise you of the easiest way to achieve what you want without going through too many learning pains.

I think you’ll find it’s more likely something wrong with your freelancer install or the mod files, not the program itself.
Reinstall. 😛
