OK so I installed the mod after a fresh install of freelancer several times now trying different activation options to see why the mod wont launch.
Basically whats happening is, singleplayer or multiplayer, doesnt matter which I choose, the intro to freelancer and crossfire will play with a black screen sound running, then it puts me on desktop, freelancer crossfire windowed mode then it crashes with no response error and closes itself.
I am running windows 8 64 bit, is there any solution to this problem?
EDIT: I also did test freelancer vahnilla, works flawlessly. So this problem is from crossfire. Attached is my snipped screenshot i took to show how it looks like
SOLUTION = Shark007 codecs was installed and on suggested settings, returning it from suggested settings to default fixed the problem.
