I found the crossfire mod on the internet and wanted to check it out, seeing as I loved playing freelancer.
The thing is, I followed all the instructions and installed everything correctly (Crossfire v1.7 mod but didnt install the 1.7a patch) and the multiplayer button was there. When I clicked on it, it went into the game and told me "invalid account......." and then exists to desktop. So what I tried was installing the game clean (without mod) and went into game so that it generates a Multiplayer ID, then exited directly after.
I installed the mod and updated using the laucher, and when i went into the game, it worked, and i could create a character and login.
The problem now is, as soon as i try to play, after while the game minimizes to the desktop and my dxdiag pops up for some reason. If i try to enter the game again, then as soon as I'm in space, it minimizes again, and launches dxdiag.
I'm not sure what to do now, cause I want to play the game online, and get our whole LAN to join in. Can anyone help me?
(sorry for long post)
