Well, there must be some files which didn't installed, maybe cus the AntiVirus blocked them, like freelancer.exe itself, you could try a full fresh install of the mod after adding everything as exception of the AV ? Or else some mistake was made while installing...
freelancer.exe is missing
freelancer.exe is missing
Dragonsfire:
1) look at FAQ
2) put your CF folder at AV exceptions list
3) look at your AV (antivirus) quarantine list .... you almost sure find there CF files
4) if you completely lost freelancer.exe try this: use 7-zip and open installation file Crossfire181.exe. ..there you in folder "Crossfire181.exe\$_OUTDIR\EXE\" find freelancer.exe.
Right, I have uninstalled flmm, done file search for any left over files and deleted them. Uninstalled Freelancer, done a file search and deleted. Reinstalled Freelancer. Downloaded and saved Flmm and mod. Disconnected from internet and then disabled McAfee. Installed new Flmm. Installed mod. Mod will not activate (Flmm cannot transfer certain files). Flmm asks if I want to restore backups, I say yes, Flmm locks up. Enabled McAfee, reconnected to internet.
What is wrong ??
copy protection. Remove the read only flag from all the freelancer files before applying the mod using FLMM. <<< is just my guess from what you describe
It would appear that the trouble is with this "Artemis!C0C5014C6A32" which McAfee says is a trojan and therefore removed from the programme.
from an old thread:
artemis is a new "heuristic " subprogram from mcaffe, wich can detect potencial threats! Its a simple matter of turning off artemis. Artemis is not mentioned in the configuration menu: its called " active protection" and its located in the antivirus configuration menu
as being said... a heuristic alert but no trojan
Well, I can't say I am in favour of turning off any of my threat detection for more than a few secs. So, I'll give this mod a miss if that is the only way it will run !!
Unless, of course, someone who knows McAfee can tell me how to make Freelancer/Crossfire an exception
just get a good AV instead of this crap
Yes, McAfee is a free AV which is brought with the PCs, programs and stuff.... like putting crap into people's head.... later people see there are professional AV made by interested people with a constant virus database and security...
Anyways Crossfire worths making it an exception... those Gigabytes of stuff isn't there just to take space
I have McAfee Net Protect Plus as part of the package with my Broadband supplier. I have found it pretty good so far, much better than Norton. What do you guys think would be the best alternative (Firewall, anti virus, spyware)package ?
I have Avast! and i`ve had no problem with CF with that AV...
Yes, Avast has 8 shields (which can be closed at your wish), for email danger, internet browser dangers, files, and other stuff, it upates it's virus database every day and this is why CF is well for it... it searches for exac and real viruses... not like the others saying "possible virus detected" and fvcks it all
