Crossfire 1.8 activation probs

I had the same prob... Then I tried unmounting mod, uninstalling FL (all including savegames), then reinstalling, rebooting PC, then remounting 1.8 (no needed to unpack 1.8 again) and I was GTG. Try that all in the same order I just told you and all your current sensations of despair and anxiety should wear off.

if it would be a problem with the script then the script would not report random files

I have activated the mod and created a char but each time I launch to space form Manhattan I crash to desktop. Any thoughts?

PS I have disabled 3D sound.

removed savegames?

If it would be the savegames, it would crash before the Main Menu, when it's loading the game. If it crashs after launching to space... it may be a performance setting too high for your PC ? I had nearly the same thing... just after I undock, I was seeing a red screen, reactivated(on a fresh FL installation) without an advanced CF setting, and it works great now

i dont know what it is but if it would be mod related then ALL players would have this problem

Well I have done a complete clear out and reinstall and deactivated anything requiring advanced features and i still have the same problem.:(

on mod setup try leaving the setting 'Screenshots Capture settings' to default, and not switching to 'on'. let us know if this fixes the problem

When I fisrt launched the mod, I noticed that the launcher was upgraded to v2.1, but after that first connection with the server, I get launcher v1.6 again. On the initial launch I was able to sell salvaged cargo, but now I cannot sell cargo at all, apparently. I only downloaded the mod 2 days ago, so I thought I had the "market fix" version; I guess I'll have to go through the 4-hour process all over again...

launcher V1.6 for CF 1.8 is absolutely wrong! it implies that u might have accidentally installed the CF1.7 patch? this patch is incompatible with CF1.8, sorry.

CF 1.8 comes with launcher V2.01 (or above, if i need to change things)

Nope, I did not install the patch, only the CF 1.8 mod. Mod install was no problem, when I let it find its own destination, and FLMM had no problems activating it. In any case, I appear to have a bad economy setup, so I will have to do it all over agin, anyway.

as launcher version 1.6 doesnt exist for CF1.8, and only installer version 2.01 does, your pc must be getting the version 1.6 from somewhere, and its not this mod. So make sure you delete your 'Microsoft Games/Freelancer' Folder before you install FL again so that CF 1.7 is completely gone.

Diablo
try deactivating your anti-virus during the mod activation, it worked for me

lol Diablo, i was desperate for 2 days^^, and then i do what i must to do.
And everything working perfect now.

ps
izgubio sam dva dana, 8 puta sam D/L CF 1.8, zamisli to, i na kraju lepo format C> windows and the end!

I am happy to report that I finally realized my activation problem: Saxon is correct, the launcher was picking up CF1.7 files, but not from a restart file. What I finally did was to remove CF 1.7 from FLMM altogether, so CF 1.8 is the only mod there. I think that the launcher was picking up the CF 1.7 website file from the /mods folder, since it has numerical priority over 1.8 when both are present.

Now I have a stable install, trading is normal, and the server has not crashed within seconds of login! My apologies to those who were incovenienced by the server crashes I undoubtably caused...

EDIT: I thought this problem was cleared up, but I just tried to launch CF again, and even with no trace of CF 1,7 in my mods folder, the v1.6 launcher came up again! I guess I'll now have to try and delete the mods folder itself, to be sure there is no possibility of cross-contamination... Otherwise, I can see no clear solution, apart from re-activating CF every time I want to log into the serveer.
