The file of evil!!!

You can't mess around when activating this mod; it is too large and complex to be "manhandled" by the Mod Manager and so it taxes that resource. It is really more of an expansion than a mod, the way I see it.

Let me go through a few things that may sound tedious, but if you are trying to take a shortcut around any of them you will not have luck getting the mod to take.

* Reinstall Freelancer

* Remove any saved games in the directory "Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Games\Freelancer\Accts\SinglePlayer"

* <b>Reinstall the Crossfire Mod</b> -- this is what hung me up once. If you do anything that causes it to not load properly, such as activating this mod and then deactivating it, you need to start over again from scratch, including doing a fresh install of the Crossfire 1.62 mod itself. It is a touchy business getting this mod to load with the Mod Manager. For this reason, avoid turning other mods on. And once you get the Crossfire mod loaded, do not deactivate it unless you want to start from ground zero.

If I missed anything or stated something inaccurate, I am sure there are others here who can fill in the missing information or supply any necessary corrections.

Good Luck!

It seems to always work if you entirely uninstall FL (and then make sure that none of the files got left behind) and install everything again. It can be a real pain, but it'll be quicker than trying to figure out how to fix the one file...

Be sure to use FLMM 1.31, NOT 1.4...
