YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!

I FIXED THE PROBLEM!! BOOM BABY!!!

Turns out CompaQ 730EO only supports 1024 x 576 as the highest resolution. So I just went into the perfoptions.ini and changed it from 1024 x 768 to 1024 x 576!

IT NOW IT STARTS!! JUESUS CHIRST I AM HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!

I just took a look on this site’s download section and there were some possible solutions so I tried them all.

Freelancer Hardware Update = Same problem
Freelancer Quickfix Patch v.1.0c = Same problem
Jason’s Freelancer Patch = Same problem

……

I’ll start crying pretty soon

Freelancer is installed and everything. I get the error message when I try to start the game.

I have tried activating the Discovery 4.85 mod, which does have the Intel GMA950 chipset incorporated into the flconfigdatabase.txt.
Here is the section with my graphics chip:

I have no idea what it means. Maybe someone could tell me where the problem is here. Note I am using GMA950 (945) - Some of the first ones on top.

Some if they are not “the” relevant paramenter for Intel GMA950 chipset which are? I need some help here.
NOTE: I have driver version 8.15 installed. Maybe it’s too new? Or?

I just tried that. Complete uninstall, and then a fresh, new, clean install.

Same problem.

Freelancer Fatal Error:
“Freelancer did not detect a 3D capable video adapter in your system. If you have a 3D capable video adapter installed please try rebooting. You may need to reinstall the game.”

I am trying to install Freelancer on my Mini PC so my sister can play on Discovery with me.
Here are the specs:

CompaQ Mini 730EO
CompaQ 730EO Specifications

I know that the problem here is my Intel GMA950, but take a look at this list:
Intel GMA950 Game Compability List
So I believe that it should be able to play Freelancer with graphics set as low as possible.

But as I don’t have a dedicated graphics card Freelancer gives the error described and it wont start.
I am running Windows 7, and have Intel GMA905 Driver vers. 8.15 installed.

Here is what I have tried so far:
Activating the mod, installing discovery update 3 - Same problem.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem? or do you think it’s completely impossible to run Freelancer with that graphics chip?

Maybe overriding Freelancers need to check the grahpics card and FORCE it to start?
