if you are using an onboard video card or intel chipsets i810 or i815 this kind of flicker with distorted letters and screen happens . you can download fix patch from here http://eoa.seriouszone.com/louvadeus.php#quickfix

look for the file saying freelancer hardware update. just down load the file and place it in your c/programfiles/microsoftgames/freelancer/exe file and that should do the trick. but if you change mods a lot or reinstall freelancer you must replace the file again.

this also fixes SiS igp/gpu chip set problems as well.

I would like to have my site added to network as well please . My old forum is at www.lancerquest.myforumx.com but i had to create a new website to accomodate both your toolbar and the freelancer community site links as my old forum was not able to do so. The new site is http://lancerquest.webs.com. i have the bar on the top of the home page where no one can miss it. my server has been up for a few months now.
