ok... i have solved the issue of the internet access and disconnection while downloading but ITS NOT OVER
before you ask Hagar, i want to say yes i did the clean install....and yes ive looked through the CF guide
heres my problem: i start the launcher and everything i cool..it downloads all 8 file in a few seconds (around 3 or 4) next thing i know the "start multiplayer' key is open and up and ready i click on it and the launcher closes and the next thing it does is
thats the thing, it does nothing it just stops ther no error message, no "this program has stopped responding, you chose to end a unresponsive program" nothing, same thing with single player...
i checked FLMM and the mod is activated, the mod version at the top f the launcher says v1.56, and the freelancer icon does havee the red CF across the bottom..
i have alos tried to pass freelancer through the firewall and even shut the firewall down..nothing
what do i do?
