Never Works ( CF 2.0 )

Hello TriNitroToluen, I'm afraid that cf will not work on mac. We do not have possibility to test cf on this and here was before one another player which also tried all our hints but was not successful get cf working.

... can you post your cf launcher screenshot?

Can you run Freelancer "vanilla" (without any mod) at all on your MacBook ?

thats a very good question

i know 1 player, who was able to play 1.9 on a Mac: Free_4_Live. i didn't see him in 2.0 yet.

However : can you run "vanilla" Freelancer ?

hmmm, if vanilla works, CF 2.0 "should" also ...
All I can do is give you my extended installation guide then.

Perhaps what you should look for also then are the directory paths for FLMM to "find" the Freelancer installation (dunno, maybe different from "standard" windows C:\ perhaps). And I don't know how security (User Account Control) and write protection removeal works with "Parallels".

LOL the "fool" it is proofed on is me M8

I made it in the first place for myself, not to forget anything.

To answer the question that's been in here for quite some time:

Freelancer Vanilla runs on virtual machines AND on Wineskin builds

And yes, i also managed to get 1.9 running on both (VM+Wineskin); I just forgot how i got this far using wine (it's been over a year since i did)

Anyway, the problem about 2.0 is .Net 4.5 which is not supported on Windows XP (which is base for wineskin); As a conclusion there might not be any chance to get 2.0 Single Player using wine (gotta mention 1.9 Multiplayer never worked on wineskin, as it doesn't seem to be able to use internet connections anyway)

When i tried installing 2.0 using Parallels 8 (i think its 8.. anyway my just created Windows 8.1 would just tell me, it's missing some required files (somehow, if i use the same Folder on my Windows 7 Desktop there's not a single problem running it). Anyway that problem doesn't seem to be related to Parallels or any vm-software as 2.0 won't work on my native 8.1 as well.I'll try running 2.0 on a Windows 7 VM soon (as soon as I'm motivated to create one )
tldr: Windows 8.1 seems to have problems running the same installation used for Windows 7 AND 2.0 wont ever work on Windows XP (i guess) BUT 1.9 ran flawlessly "on" Mac OS (using wineskin)

so, just tested it on Windows 7 32 Bit running Parallels 8 and it worked (after the same problems with 8.1 missing msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll, which WERE NOT INSTALLED DURING VCREDIST INSTALLATION (tried 2005 as well as 2008) - anyway, i copied them from my Windows 7 Desktop PC and it worked afterwards). I just have to add, that Parallels might not be the best option, as mouse input feels really sluggish within Crossfire (maybe games in general, i don't know).
Concerning the Windows XP not being able to run it thought: That may be false, it might just not be able to update the launcher (i installed it on Windows XP at first, and wasn't able to run/update it, but it worked on my Windows 7 machine afterwards (i posted something on the forums according this topic, as far as i remember); so i'll give Windows XP a try as well, with an updated launcher version)

In Windows the folders are readonly by design and it cannot be changed. Files are different and can be set as wanted without readonly attribute
