    Try one of save editors and erase invalid factions lines 😜
    np

    Best thing i ever used for automatic searching for troubles in mods is FLScan 1.3. Maybe u’ll find it useful too.

    Ignore my comment above, I was thinking MP :roll: :roll:

    F1 should work and bring up a smaller menu which doesn’t allow you to save the game in SP when you aren’t docked.

    ESC should cancel some actions like cruise, universe map etc.

    If you really mean they do nothing then you have a strange problem.

    Do you have a non-US, non-UK keyboard, with the US version of FL maybe?

    You should put the modded one back if you intend to keep playing beyond the story.

    As for JFLP, dunno why that would be causing problems - it should just install itself. (And remember it’s a patch, not a mod, so don’t use FLMM to install it; in particular, don’t install jflp.dll to freelancer.ini, since that being added to [Resources] is all I can think your problem would be).

    For easy frequent use I made an image (.iso) of my FL CD using ImgBurn and I use Virtual CloneDrive (a virtual CD/DVD drive) to mount it when I need to.

    Sure, draw distances for fog and clouds etc are in data/solar/nebula but you’ll find that each individual nebula has it’s own file so there’s no quick edit for that one.

    And as far as I know the official patch does NOT change the version-number shown in the right-bottom corner of the menu even when the patch was successfuly applied… (bit strange to me since the patch is called “1.1”)
    So no need to worry about it. (<–---------just my opinion)
    anyways… i think the link up there in the previous post will solve ur problem if u want to build your own mod-version-number.

    Strange. I’ve not experienced it but could it be your Fraunhoffer encoder out of order?

    I’m using XP, so check in your Control Panel’s equivalent for this:- Sound and Audio Devices - Hardware - Audio Codecs and look for the Fraunhoffer MPEG Layer 3 Codec to be present, click on it, click Properties, ensure it is “used” and you can change the priority (move it up in the list).

    Also open your Audio Mixer (double-click on your speaker icon in the system tray) and ensure all appropriate devices are enabled.

    You’re expected to put the info into software like DSLaunchpad or FAM. DSLaunchpad can generate accounts itself with no help from FLKeyGen.

    Maybe I s’d not bother this old thread but somehow can’t resist 🙂

    Make this ship purchaseable is easy, but take in account all the limitations before you spend your credits:

    Battlestar II

    CAN’T use trade lines CAN’T use jump gates CAN’T fly in asteroid fields CAN’T dock with most stations

    Quite enough (to me) to live it in a museum.

    Already checked on my router, it’s off too.
    UPDATE : It’s now working, it was UPnP. Freelancer thought that the router didn’t forwarded the port so the game port forwarded again via UPnP and conflict happens.

    Also told your firewall not to block the server?
    Freelancer is somewhat sensitive if it comes to hosting a server.

    Solved the problem.

    It seems there wasn’t a problem in game itself, but rather with windows OS. I solved the problem by picking a tip from Microsoft community, to run sfc.exe, to cehck system files for problems. System file checker found some problems and fixed them and now FL works fine.
