Windows 7 Problem

Syd

install patch 1.1

I attempted to install it - apparently my copy of Freelancer is already updated.

I thought 1.1 only fixed server side issues?

Vesko

It fixed mostly server side issues. Some game issues were also corrected.

try completely uninstalling FL, and installing again, also try installing a server mod or something.

The trick is not to install FL in Program Files but on the Desktop or another user data location. UAC and related things can’t cause trouble. At least it’s worked for me and a bunch of other people.

I store all my data on a different partition to Windows.

However, I tried installing Freelancer to my desktop. Made no difference.

Try to disable Windows defender.
In most cases it cause more trouble than it would be a help.

Use other programs for virus/spyware etc instead of MS stuff.

I’m running windows 7 without any troubles.
But i don’t use the MS stuff wich come during installation.

you can also create an ID

you need two soft :

fl key gen :

and
Freelancer account manager
http://sites.google.com/site/lordkorrd/fam

or open a new session on your computer and start the game
i think it will do the same, not sure, need to be tested

If you check my original post, I had no problem getting an initial FLID & putting it in via the registry.

It is just that whenever I use another key with FAM, FL will crap itself until I restore it to the one I originally set.

I just tried switching accounts via ones stored on reg’s and it worked fine. I will be using this method to switch accounts from now on.

I’m guessing its some permission thing for both programs (FL & FAM). I disabled Defender/MSE & with UAC already disabled… I am lost as to what is causing it.

Atleast I can play now. ^_^

Thanks all.
