I will be in-game as soon as the server lets me stay for more than 30 seconds As for missions, well, we both sort of need built-up chars for that. The first thing you should do once you're on the server is get some credits and some decent equipment. Everyone's going to be trying to do that at once, so it might be awhile before things settle down and get back to normal. Lol, it's great fun, but a little chaotic.

(Btw, did you try ctrl-D in FLMM like I advised? The only time I ever had a request for a CD was when it was trying to run vanilla. Restoring the old backups fixed it for some reason...on the other hand, that might also be why I experienced so many crashes in Altair during the 4th beta...hehe)

john ... lol COPY CRACK LOL i was think u know this of corse lol ... BEFORE u try play clean freelancer .. please try FIRST PLAY CLEAN FREELANCER couse if u be have ctd ( crash to desktop ) is not the mods foult .. u should then read the freelancer read me .. and write here what pc u got exacly system procesor graphivk card and whole rest

Are these server crashes a mod issue or a problem with the actual server? I just spent a loooong time sownloading the mod and I am currently rebelling at the thought of having to do so again.

I think it may be a server issue. The server has 12 people on it right now, so something must have been done... I wish I could go back online now, but I spent my whole afternoon installing the mod and getting kicked from the server. Go ahead and try it out, I won't have a chance to do so until tomorrow.

Okay there is something seriously wrong with the mod.

I installed a clean Freelancer.
Restarted my computer
Applied the official 1.1 patch
Applied the SDK 1.3 patch
Installed the Mod Manager.
Unzipped Crossfire 1.6 to the Mod directory.
Applied Crossfire 1.6 using the Mod Manager.

Now everything works to this point correctly.
I can play Crossfire just fine, etc.

Now the issue pops up when you try to unapply the Mod.
There are apparently several files that are unable to be unapplied which causes an error prompt that tells you to revert to the backup files.

This error in the ability to unapply the patch breaks the Freelancer install(causes Freelancer to crash at startup with a prompt for the Freelancer CD) and will not allow you to play regular Freelancer or re-apply CF 1.6(gets another error to revert to backup).

This is a characteristic of CF mods. They can be activated, but deactivating them corrupts certain vanilla FL files. A reinstall of FL is required after each deactivation of CF.

It never happened before.

And I really don't think it should be occuring since the Mod options can only be changed when you activate the Mod(your character, juni, background sound, hud color, and menu backdrop, Open SP) which means if you want to try out the other options you have to deactivate the mod and reactivate.

I find it kind of hard to believe that OP intended for the player to have to reinstall Freelancer everytime they wanted to change a few cosmetic aspects in the game(especially since there are no previews or pics of the various characters and backgrounds) as well as the Open Sp mode .

kristow is not cf foult ... this mod is TOO BIG for flmod menager and flmm mess files ....

and is not hard to reinstall fl lol ...

and cf add realy many files .. propably more then anyother mod ..

and DOTN INSTAL SDK first .. cf got sdk build in

and dont instalunoficial patch 1.4 too
instal oficial patch 1.1 but i think is pointless

if fl crashs after the splash screen then delete the fucking savegames
that will fix it

and to say it clearly
the testers played without such crashes for 5 days... and the only reason why it does crash is the stupidity of the users that are not able to install a fresh copy of FL before they use the mod

about the deactivation of CF1.6.... once activated it cant be deactivated wihtout destroying the entire installation of FL
you will have to install FL again if you want to play other mods... this is due to technical problems with FLMM
on the other side once activated you dont want to deactivate it anymore

i have this problem
when i kill npc i lost my shield in single player mode
what will be the problem

i think its not a prob. its the explosion, it causes damage, a loooot. Dont be too close. on the other hand, it causes damage to npc ships too

btw to splash demage .. is to hight i think and the radius is to big .. but is only my humbble opinion

and OP what for is this halographic projector .. we was try to find any logical use of this but no we dont know what is good in this thing ... maybe is smoke cower or something . rhino looking like bs .. but i dunno

im getting a lil annoyed here:

Error: problem activating 'Crossfire Mod 1.6 Client Edition'
Error: SHCopyFile failed ('C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\characters\heads\trenthead.dfm.flmmbak' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\characters\heads\pi_pirate5_head.dfm')

there is no real use for the holoprojector... its a concept explaining some old technologies

@K19 did u deactivate the mod? if so you need a clean install again. I got such an error when i deactivated and tried reactivating, then i did clean install again and its solved.
