Freelancer Widescreen
-
Hi everyone,
I decided to play Freelancer again and this time I have a widescreen monitor and I have encountered just one issue.
I have a monitor with a resolution of 1366 x 768. After a few google searches I got it working nice with everything except one major thing. I have jflp and hudshift installed to get the menus and the game itself to work.
However, the big issue is the CPU talking. When they talk you are supposed to get a little box in the upper left hand corner of the screen of them talking. (or is it right hand corner been many years) However, with my settings they become fullscreen and block out EVERYTHING. My google searches have failed me and I was lead to here to beg for help.
Does anybody know what I should change in my config files to correct this? I really breaks the game and I want to get my Freelancer nostalgia fix. Thanks for your time, I haven’t been called Freelancer Alpha 1-1 yet and I am itching to get this game working.

Hi Bob,
Check the following file:
\data\interface\hud.ini
if you’ve downloaded jflp in it’s enirety, you should be able to view this file in notepad.
Check the [Receiver] section.
win_size = 0.2, 0.2
0.2, 0.2 is the correct setting. If it’s anything bigger, this could potentially cause the problem you’re seeing.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers,

If that doesn’t work I’d suggest doing a clean install of FL, then do a clean install of JFLP. (http://adoxa.110mb.com/freelancer/dl.php?f=jflp)
Then have a look at this post: http://the-starport.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=4256&forum=27&post_id=47102#forumpost47102
Hope this helps.

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.
