Crossfire 1.8 Bug fixing

Well, it isn't a bug, nor a crash, but a simple case of inability to start the game

Followed the download instructionst, installed first freelancer, then flmm, then crossfire. All seemed to work well, and crossfire is succesfuly enabled in flmm. Still, it doesn't work. The launcher downloaded its updates properly, but when I click on either single player or multiplayer nothing happens. The launcher closes and that's it.

Only change I've made to vanilla freelancer is tampering with it so that it works on my screen resolution, which is 1920x1080. But it worked fine before cf, and I can't see this interfering.
Maybe it's a Windows 7 issue? Or I've done something wrong, or haven't done something else?

in win 7 its possible not to see intro, u dont hear anything after the launcher closes? if u hear something and have a black screen just press esc (3 times)...

Nope, not even a black screen, it's as if I've pressed the exit button instead of the play button ... I'll try to reinstall the whole thing altogether and see what happens.

Docking probs

After server crash CFWD.exe appear.OK nothing new>But this time i must restart PC 3 times. Location Freeport 9 omi-Tetha.This station act totally strange and weird) this remind me at reports with stuck.And yes my ship was stuck there.

First i wasn't able to dock, later i undock in nearby red dwarf- yes from station to sun (about 8.3 from Freeport)
Finally i leave the station toward Omi Alpha and game and my ship command come back to normal, but now i can not dock at station, and at ring at planet Malta.However-mooring fixture working.

Few stations act strange in the same way, like problem with docking (in general docking at stations in 1.7 was better for me)

The bugs are not in the stations, as you're not first to dock them, like Malta or FP.

*edit* nevermind, found a solution meanwhile

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PINK EAGLE NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

so uhm blowing up stations while somebody is in it causes them to crash or did I misinterpret this`?

Just a tiny thing I noticed - Hope Station and planet Prophecy infocards in Tarsus system don't display ship and commodity infos after you've docked them. Is that just in my case or is this something you've perhaps forgotten?

Um, you did some update, right? My launcher downloaded some files, and now it says this on loading screen of CF (after the intro movies):

EDIT: Oops... I intended this for the "Feedback" thread:

OP, you crack me up sometimes! I never know when to expect the little surprises, and they often come at the perfect moment.

I was looking for a smiley and stumbled upon your 404 page.... that has to be the funniest error page that I have ever seen! It is worthwhile typing in a bad address just to see it!

It would be difficult to list all of the great things in CF, but a couple stand out:

- Hyperspace was both creepy and enticing. I felt physically uncomfortable in there. It was a weird experience, but awesome.

- I made it to Altair in my Dagger with DIFFICULTY_SCALE = 2.00, and I thought that a pair of Dom Kavash Gunboats was as tough as it was going to get. I was pleasantly ... um ... "surprised" by the Inner Core. "Astonished" might be a better word. I won't spoil it for anyone but, wow! Incredible!

PS: The Dagger's average life expectancy in the Inner Core was just a few minutes.

- I see that you have been thinking about "release" of CF and announcing it to the world. I do not know how many people will respond to that, but some of the key influencers (you know, senior players on other boards) may try it very quickly. In my experience, there are still a number of "rough spots" in CF 1.8. Given your resources it is amazingly stable for a mod of this size, but some people will run into problems. Crossfire is excellent "beta quality" right now, but you might want to consider holding the release until it is really solid. It's just a thought, and I see that you have said similar things in the past, so maybe you are already on top of this.

while at planet and looking at the ships this happen 2 times and server crash.Few days ago and tonight.
I forgot first location, but second is fro Neophobus

ehm, another problem with me going on rampage ...

after destroying whole X-3043 today (around 23.00 CET), every person who has docked on station in X and then tried to undock got immortal (yeah, you cant kill the person).

the problem is gone when the person relogs, but then if the person gets desroyed and tries to undock, its immortal again.
and we all undocked in the sun in X

sorry for troubles

wow, interesting, because the last time the CF planet's docking ring in X system was destroyed, I docked out normally, but couldn't dock back. Maybe it's something from the latest updates...
