  • Searching for a good game that has good duration and gameplay I was left
    clueless... (Recent generation games is all about gfx and they last
    about 2 hours max...) While searching the net I came across a youtube
    video about Freelancer. *Instant nostalgia!* After finding my old FL
    copy in my dusty collection case, first I tried to "pimp up" vanilla by
    using a ton of different addons by searching endlessly in forums and
    guides to make FL widescreen and HD compatible. Finished vanilla but I
    was left with a hunger for more..! :rolleyes:


    After some more search I discovered Crossfire which I installed perfectly after a few times.
    Needless to say I am still searching for my lower jaw... This must be
    the most gigantic and amazing expansion I have ever played to a game,
    trully magnificent!!! :D A few problems like launcher crashes and
    masochistic levels of difficulty but that does not really matter! The
    epiness of this mod overshadows all!


    I am still working on the new SP campaign which is awsome so far (trying to beat the 3 ancient
    sentinels). After I finish it and buying a better gaming mouse I will
    try MP but I have one question. The only modifications I have made to
    the game besides your mod is the instuctions on the Widescreen gaming
    wiki. Link: Freelancer - Widescreen Gaming Wiki (A few
    changes to make game and HUD work for 1920x1080 16:9 resolution, but it
    also changes the fonts). Will I be able to play MP or the changes can be
    detected by server as cheating.


    Excuse the long post, and I am looking forward to be a humble member of this community! :)


  • Hi Bourdoulakas :) and a warm welcome to our community
    your story sound VEERY familiar to me :D


    About your changes to FL : I don't really know, if they will be detected
    by anti-cheat, but ...


    YOU DON'T NEED IT ! 8o


    CF 1.9 comes with your 1920x1080 resolution already "build it", with fonts etc.
    adjusted.
    Simply choose it from the options menu. ;)


    HAVE FUN AND ENJOY

  • Hello Bourdoulakas and welcome.
    Yes, widescreen should work by default, without tweaking (mine does). And it's works different from the guide you found, regarding camera angles and such.
    If you follow FAQ (to the letter) when installing, you are home safe - index.php?page=FaqDetail&category=7#question12

  • Atm I'm using a Hama gaming mouse 1600 dpi (pretty worn due to heavy use but still functional!). I have ordered this a few days ago: Deluxe 3200 dpi 7 Button LED Optical USB Wired Gaming Mouse Mice for Pro Gamer | eBay I'm not really fond of expensive input devices such as Razer Naga because I don't think thay are worth the price. *cheapskate!!!* :P


  • I would like to thank player Joseph_Warrior too for his immense help for pimping up my ship to over 9000!!! I owe you big time m8 and I WILL find a way to repay you! ^^

  • hey welcome to crossfire :D

    In the darkness you could hear the crying of women,
    the wailing of infants
    and the shouting of men
    Some prayed for help,
    others wished for death
    But still more imagined that there were no Gods left...
    ...And that the universe was plunged into internal darkness
