No, no scratch. Maybe it was heat damaged or something. Not sure.

Hopefully I’ll see a few of you online. =]

I know this is bad to talk about on the forum, but I had to express my glee. Instead of using my CD, in desperation I downloaded a copy and it works brilliantly.

Thanks for your help, people,

I have new information that may help! I installed from the autoplay menu this time, and I noticed that the fonts are missing from the buttons there as well! I’m at a loss for exactly what this indicates, though…

Do you mean the flconfigdatabase mod? Yeah. =]

Do you mean D:\Program Files (x86)\ , or a directory in the Freelancer folder? I can’t see an x86 folder in the game directory.

Yeah, I tried 180.48 and 190.38, but with no change.

Bah, I installed Windows 7 and it’s still doing the same thing… No Freelancer for me, then…

I’d love that, but my XP cd melted in a heatwave a few months ago. It’s why I switched to Vista…

I have heard nothing but good things about it, but I was little paranoid over how long it took me to get Vista working (six reinstalls), and wasting all that effort. I heard there was supposed to be an XP virtual machine packaged with it, does it come with the RC?

Thanks for those ideas, but they didn’t work either. I think this is good inspiration to finally get Windows 7. Only six hours left on the download. =] Do you have the retail, or the RC?

Hello, people. I recently decided to install Freelancer again, and as you’d realise by now, I’m having some trouble. It’s that seemingly common problem with the missing text. I’ve replaced the flconfigdatabase file with the one from Louva-Deus, installed the Quick Fix 1.0c, copied the fonts into the C:\Windows\Fonts directory, changed the compatibility modes, installed the Microsoft Common Redist Pack, installed MSXML3, installed MSXML4MSMS, and installed Fonts809 fix from the guys at the Void.

All this with no change. I also thought perhaps the resolution might be a problem, however I can’t get to the menu screen to fumble around in there because all five options on the Main Menu are apparently “New Game”. The text also doesn’t jump around the screen, like how other people describe, it’s simply not there. Since nothing changed with all of my efforts, I think that maybe my problem might be a little different, especially considering the Main Menu thing.

I use Vista 64x SP2v.113, and an nVidia 8800 GTS 512mb.

Anyone have any ideas?
