Thanks Raik, that was the problem… Dummy me.
Worked fine with a brand new vanilla character. Once I got FLMM working properly everything loads fine.
Sometimes you just need to work out these things by talking it out with someone else.
Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

@CommanderArgelo Yeah, I thought it had worked in the past. I’ll have to test spacepop for ships in space when I get a chance, maybe I’m just getting old and mad lol.

Timmy51m

Disregard that, I don’t think basepop changes that at all, at least not from a quick test.

@Beagle Have you tried approaching the problem from the missile end instead of the cm? Making missiles slower and dummer until you do get a good cm effect?

@CommanderArgelo Have a look at EXE/freelancer.ini and you’ll find these entries. I think from memory some of them shouldn’t be messed with, but I think spacepop and basepop might work, I’ve definitely played with them in the past. Try changing basepop to one of these BELOW_NORMAL, NORMAL, ABOVE_NORMAL, same with spacepop

[Initial SP DLLs]
path = …\dlls\bin
DLL = Content.dll, GameSupport, HIGHEST
; required to operate gates and docks
; required to create ships in space
DLL = Content.dll, SpaceSupport, NORMAL
DLL = Content.dll, BaseSupport, NORMAL

DLL = Content.dll, StoryLauncher, BELOW_NORMAL ;story/static missions
DLL = Content.dll, SpacePop, LOWEST ;populator
DLL = Content.dll, AISandbox, BELOW_NORMAL
DLL = Content.dll, TestAutomation, BELOW_NORMAL
DLL = Content.dll, BasePop, LOWEST

@robocop Try wiping out the Freelancer folder in My Documents/My Games (after backing up your MP ID of course)

Also as its MP, are you 100% sure you are loading a Vanilla character? e.g. no FLU modified equipment/ships mounted?

Running Windows 11 Pro.
Game installs fine, noCD patch applied, no other mods.
Game opens fine, I get to the character selection screen, select my char, enter game, and a black window opens up and nothing…
When I alt-tab out to switch the black window closes and Freelancer.exe is not running in task manager.
What’s up?

Timmy51m

@CommanderArgelo I might try again if I find spare time, I just wasn’t expecting to encounter other problems along the way. Hope you get to the bottom of it one way or another.

@Gold_Sear It’s weird mate, he gave me a download link for the mod, it won’t even launch for me, so there’s not much point trying to replicate what he has. There’s lots of mods to shields, loadouts, equipment, you won’t replicate it by plugins and hacks alone.

@Gold_Sear Sorry for the delay! I’ve added these to the Limit Breaking 101 list, good work figuring them out!
