hi just bought freelancer and am trying to get it to play on my laptop, the error massage came up and iv checked some forms to see if i can get it to work uninstalling it and updateing, patches but nothing seems to have worked so far.
here some specs and the modle of my laptop
Novatech Elite N1709 - 17" Intel Core i7 3610 - 16GB DDR3 Memory - 1TB SATA Hard Drive - 128GB SSD Hard Drive - ATI HD 7970 Graphics
hope some one can help me i use to love this game

have you tried skipping that notice? That has always worked for me.

Make sure your switchable graphics are set to the AMD card. Force the AMD GPU on if possible.
FL doesn’t play well with integrated graphics, but it should have no issue running on a 7970M of all things.

Force freelancer to use Dx9 “conversion” (it’s not really dx9… but it will step down dx)

it’s been a long while since i packed this and uploaded it… i think i left instructions, if not leme know, it’s easy to install and remove… i have seen this fix the problem by forcing the ENB but having the ENB set to off in the main .ini
i know that makes little sense… lol and to be honest im not sure how it fixes the integrated problem like it does… but i found this out trying to get my mod running on a friends laptop, and i’ve heard it works for other chipsets.
