"IDS?" instead of names for "new" commodities/ships

    Hi


    Last week i thought i might play FL once more, so i searched for the CD and even found it. Saturday i started with Clean install, then i downloaded CF1.81 from ModDB, installed it and everything, widescreen manually patched and then i started playing (SP).


    All works fine, except all "new" stuff, like the "Very Heavy Fighter" you can get on Pitsburg or the "lifepods/pilots" are all named "IDS?" and have NO information attached. No infotext, no ship statistics.


    Any Help?

    probably a corrupt installation (most likely due to a write protected file in your FL directory)

    Yes something from the old CF wasn't cleaned up, your same question on the other thread is also answered ^^

    Chars: [CFPD]Michael~something (x25), [CFPD]~SQMS~{[(store)]} (x3), [CFPD]xfer, Event~Manager~Michael, StarfIier~EM~Michael, Event_Team_2, [GR]Michael[SP] and a blueprint of [CFPD]Sephirothis

    I have same problems, but instead of Werewolf in Pitsburg a have IDS on some advance scaners and tractor beams and ships in Sea of Shadows (king tiger, dark angel, shadowblade). I have clean instal of Freelancer, and i have check my system registry, i instal CF 1.81 via mod manager 1.3.

    My instalation was succesful in mod manager. So due to this i need to check every file piece by piece to uncheck read only? ?(

    Wait, half of the CF fiels are write protected... but none made such bugs O.o


    I had a total IDS issue, where everything was like IDS? but solved alone after restarting PC (or so I think, all I know it gone alone xD ).

    Yea, this is strange becaouse i have some IDS on new ships and items, but not on all. Im flying Shade right now, and this ship has descriptions, like a few others. Maybe my avast mess something with install, dunno...

    probably a restart of your pc is all you need to do

    Restart change nothing, i have IDS on some missiles, scanners, tractors and those 3 ship mentioned so far. I will go forward with my SP Campaign and check other things. And tommorow, mabey after i will reinstall again whole game.

    then one file is missing from your crossfire installation

    Ok i solved my problems. Avast indeed was blocking 2 files from CF 1.81 self extracted installer exe. They were put to quarantine as malware generators without my notice.
    And now when i start game avast disables those files:
    nameresources.dll located in F:/GRY/Freelancer/EXE2
    server.dll located in F:/GRY/Freelancer/EXE2
    I send them to Laboratory of Avast Team for veryfication.

    Edited once, last by Nazrel ().

    they will very likely tell you that their scans can never fail
    however i recently made some promising tests with different encryption methods of those files which did not cause any alerts on the AVs
    Huor confirmed it by doing similar tests right on the so called malicious software


    after changing the encryption those "infected" files suddenly appeared to be clean (shows pretty much how much shit those AVs detect)
    there is a final but tough problem to solve with the new encryption now (adding a security check) but then the AV issiue should be history

    Well... wondering what Avast you have, cus mine did no problems with CF... and I have a professional registered version.

    Yep ^^
    But we still have to get to 1.82 and check that and the rest of fixes done... with many players online at once at that moment.
