Freelancer Accound ID for Linux
-
well when i get to the multiplayer screen that screen that says enter in your account id yes the space is blank then it says Create. where do you find the flaccountid. also when you run freelancer in linux its not full screen so i cant see entire screen. what patch are you talking about linux patch?
are you asking me how to set up Freelancer in Ubuntu? you have to go to ubuntu Software Center in Applications then find PlayonLinux install it then run it oh…wait first you have to download Wine before anything else you can find it in the Debian packages repository install it then go to Ubuntu Software Center and install the latest version of Wine then!!..you install PlayonLinux after that run PlayonLinux click on Install then choose what you want to insall education,games,tool,software etc…in the games section you will find freelancer you will need your freelancer CD then just follow instructions.

sigh well, if you are using Wine with PlayOnLinux, I’m afraid I have some bad news for you. The version that goes through PlayOnLinux is SP only, so it doesn’t do Mp, or mods for that matter.
I always did it using VMware, which worked a lot beter, but did use more resources.

@POL: Well I tried, but I failed at that one. Got some error messages and also asked at the forums, but I wasn’t able to solve my problem yet. I am going to re-install FL with a new wine prefix and test it out a bit
@Patch: I am talking about the official 1.1 patch:
http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Freelancer-Patch.shtmlIt fixes this issue, at least under windows. But it is worth a try I guess.
Alternativly, some ID generating tools might work out as well - but of course only if they work with wine. -
http://www.microsoft.com/games/freelancer/downloads_06.aspx heres the link to the freelancer update patch anyway

There were a couple of other threads about Freelancer.exe running well in Linux - but when I asked for specific details about how to set it up and how to run it, there were no replies both times.
No response is as good as a “don’t know” to me - just wish they had said so.
So I doubt very much at the moment that anyone is successfully running Freelancer.exe properly under Linux, in MP attached to a remote server as well as in SP.
-
Well, he actually said how he did it. There is a front-end for wine called ‘Play On Linux’. You usually just select the game/application you want to install and follow the instructions.
jpd101: Can you tell me with which version of POL/FL script version you installed the game/when you did install it? Maybe they fixed the error I am suffering from meanwhile (if it isn’t my FL disc or disc device).
-
Yes but he has problems, it’s not a fully working solution, like the others too.
-
Bas currently i am runny Ubuntu 10.01 POL 3.7.3 what error are you getting exactly
Vesko: how do i go about using VMware. for freelancer.
What are the best Freelancer Mods out there i got Discovery, TNG and WTS are there any with UFO’s
whats the deal X3 Reunion good,bad, boring?
-
Did you try the 1.1 patch?
-
Well, try to run it with wine. You might have to select your Freelancer directory during the installation process.
-
Well, VMware is basically a virtual machine app that runs on Mac OS/Windows/Linux. To use FL on it, you need to install Windows XP, or any other version thst’s compatible with it. Then, all you need to is install FL on it the same way you would on a regular XP machine, and voila!
-
Yes but then you still need Windows, and my reason for wanting FLServer.exe and Freelancer.exe both to run in Wine/Linux is to get rid of Windows permanently.
-
Well, the client can run at Linux as it seems. BUt I am not such sure about the server.
-
No this has not yet been fully confirmed - I asked if they could play multiplayer but there was no definite reply - SP games seemed OK but not MP.
And yes I think FLServer will not run either.
Who can confirm what about FL in Linux please?
-
yeah Startrader is right i would not want to have windows xp i will apply the freelancer patch and see if that gives me the account id i dont want to setup FLserver just go into MP.
too bad they canceled Freelancer 2 aka “Project Lonestar”

@StarTrader: It worked somehow for me a while back, but MP lagged like hell, and there is no chance to run it on a single core system. My Computers CPU(2x3GHz) was fully used.
Running an Server does not work at all, it hangs during startup with an error of dplaysrv(Direct Play Server Module), No game using that server base is working, as I’ve been told.Is this Answer detailed enought for you this time? It may work now, but I don’t think so.

Aha! Thanks very much, Tai!
