  • Interesting Effect on Windows 8 Release Version.



    I have tried to re-install the game



    and also re-installed the fonts from the CD, no change.
    I am searching for a solution and will report as soon as I find one.


    Kind Regards

  • probably fonts are registered in a different way for win8
    moving them into the fonts directory does not work?

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.

    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

  • No.



    I have also tried compatibility settings- No luck


    What bothers me is that even reading from the disk is not working and that leads me to think it is deeper than just fonts , there may be an API reason why this is not working.


    I will report as soon as I know something.


    Kind regards

  • SUCCESS


    The NVIDEA drivers that is installed with the Release of Windows 8 is not right.


    After downloading the latest released version from NVIDEA website, Freelancer is happy again ... and so am I.

  • Yes CF and W8 is right...


    The NVIDEA drivers released with W8 is the problem.
