DO i delete the original freelancer .exe? from the destination file.?
SilverFox,i got it working thanks bro.
SilverFox,the game works but i cant direct flmm to the location of the freelancer,exe file it keeps saying no exe file found,now i renamed the no cd version that just said freelancer to freelancer.exe but the flmm still says no exe file found what can i do?
SilverFox,hey bro i renamed the no cd verion to just freelancer like the original was named now i get this see attachment, what can i do ?ScreenHunter 41.png
flmm can not find it because its not called freelancer.exe in your case but freelancer(1).exe
rename that file to freelancer.exe and flmm will be able to find it.
Odin Kree : You put the Freelancer.exe in FLMM CrossfireMod folder. You can't run it from there. The Mod folder is only for activation of Mods.
One of your freelancer error files tells that you installed in "D:\freelancer2\Freelancer.PC.Game(djDEVASTATE™)\Freelancer.PC.Game(djDEVASTATE™)\" folder.
If/when you reinstall I suggest that you use D:\FL or similar short foldername and as ex. D:\FLMM for the Freelancer Mod Manager.
SilverFox,i will rename it right away ty bro.
Silver fox,i have been experiencing some odd behavior on this computer when i first dl and installed the no cd freelancer and installed it it worked just fine,then when i ran it a second time a few hours later it crashed just like the other times,is there something on my computer that could corrupt these game files after they are run once?i turn off my anti virus but i leave windows defender on could that be doing something? although i have been using these programs for along time without any problems,what do u think?
First: Are you a member of "Administrators" group on your computer ?
Did you install and play other mods (incompatible savegames) -> save and delete files in folder Documents\My Games\Freelancer\Accts\SinglePlayer
I never had any problems with Windows Defender - just remember to exclude FL and FLMM folders from scanning/quarantine.
SilverFox,yes i run everything Freelancer with admin. elevation and no i have not had any problems with corrupted save games,but when u have a good Freelancer installation that suddenly does noy run after running it for over 5 years something is going on an sfc/scannow showed no problems,i have installed other mods but just recently but none of them worked because my freelancer copy is not running so no mod will work including crossfire without a good copy of freelancer,i dp have 1 other mod that is working the discovery 4.92 mod is running fine and it does not use flmm but it does need a working freelancer ,so i guess not all my freelamcer copies are computed.
Freelancer can run on any Windows version, so I suggest a complete reinstall.
There an extended install guide here
(print it and follow the steps)Thanks SilverFox luckily i have everything backed up or i would have to reinstall over 800 gb of stuff.
SilverFox,if i do a clean install of win 10 and then download all my files i have stored at the idrive web site will i just be reinstalling the thing that is making these files go corrupted?
Erm, clean Freelancer reinstall. No need to reinstall Windows 10
Ye, CF works fine on latest Windows 10 with all it's odd updates for me.
Installation will work if you follow the guide linked above by SilverFox. If it doesn't, take a screenshot of it and post again.
So, uninstall Crossfire, FreeLancer Mod Manager and Freelancer from Control Panel.
Clean registry by using CCleaner and reboot Windows - now Freelancer is gone.
If you have played Multi Player, you may want to save your ID (if you don't have a copy).
ok guys ty i will do it and let u know how it goes.
Guys,another question, i bought a like new Freelancer cd off amazon cost over 62$ but what the hey,well any way i read on the net that win 10 wont play a freelancer cd is that true?
It will work with the no-cd Freelancer.exe, np's.
The copy protection from 2003 isn't working anymore and that's why you need the no-cd
