Yup that worked. Moved the NO-CD.exe and replaced the original shortcut and the game booted up perfect. haven’t flown a mission yet but everything seems great.

Thanks so much for your help.

So there are some patches? What do they do exactly?

Looks very much like the location you are running Freelancer.exe from doesn’t have its corresponding files with it, which are the ones it claims are missing.

Try installing again, as administrator. Rather than just running the game as administrator - it doesn’t sound like it has placed all the necessary files.

You may just need to navigate into the CD folders and find the setup.exe, and run that as administrator.

That may solve your initial issue.
But you will need the NO-CD as W10 doesn’t support the way that Freelancer checks it’s CD to see if it is in the drive.

The only account I have on my computer is the Administrator. I don’t have any others. Where do I put the No-CD thing? Like where do I move the shortcut? Its on the desktop but I get a warning that says this:

common.dll was not found, dalib.dll was not found, movie.dll was not found,
dacom.dll was not found.

Have you tried running it with administrator privileges?

Yes, that’s the only way I run my computer.

I also tried installing it in a different place. Not program x86. No change.

Can anyone help me please?

Hey everyone.

I recently bought a copy of Freelancer from ebay and want to play!
I tried to find it on GOG and it wasnt there,
bought a lot of wing commander while I was there though…

Either way the game does not run. I bought a new Alien A7 computer and it
has windows 10.

I tried downloading the no-cd thing and all I get are error messages:
common.dll was not found, dalib.dll was not found, movie.dll was not found,
dacom.dll was not found.

I checked to see if direct play was on and it is.
When i try to launch the game it doesnt do anything. It installs
fine though.

Help!!!

Thankyou

Peter
