Lost Fleet update

Thanks OP

am updating as I write this

also have been testing and a ((double thanks)) for the previous update since the ENB shader has become the default all my first five characters now load first time and play without getting any bans and so far they have not crashed to desk top as they used to do before.

the update just completed

Question: will this new update work for me if I already did previous side mission version? I want use save after I ended campaign, and look into Sol.

You can patch old singleplayer savegames with a tool called "FactionPatch" located directly in your Freelancer folder.

I will monitor this patch in the next few days before I do an official release announcement. (want to make sure everything is working)

Does anyone else have problem with Alsace jumphole?After jump sequence start i have white screen with infinite loading and cant do anything,just force restart

Edit:Sry for false alarm,changed shader settings from No selection to NB default and it' works perfectly,great and beautiful update,what to say,master is master!!

SWAT_OP-R8R ... just one curious question, were into "old" systems added new wreck(s) with Last Fleet update? ... no details please, only Y/N

I'm curious if I overlooked something already existing (this mod still have suprises after all these years ) or is chance that it was newly added

are we talking about SP or MP here?

SP

SWAT_OP-R8R i have a question when did this mod start using the freelancer binq format as i was looking for a line in a mission to fix a bug i was having and the text is in that insane unreadable format is there any way to change it back to the non binq format without breaking the game

what base are you on?

Sorry, don't understand what you mean by "base" ?

wombat1940 the base you're docked with

Oh! Sorry!

New York.

Although I have numerous other saved game base locations (ie. Loret, Styx, Casius, Dervon, Hiruga, Omega-7, etc, etc ….. ). But as soon as I try to leave any of the bases, I CDT.

I'm going to update again and see it works this time. Wish me luck.

EDIT:

What about this note from OP:

" …….. You can patch old single player save games with a tool called "FactionPatch" located directly in your Freelancer folder.

Maybe I need to use the tool? Only thing is its not in my Documents>My Games>Freelancer folder.

Well ...........………………………………………….. IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before, it updated with 1075 files. This time only 1000 files. Don't know why ...... maybe OP did something ....... don't know.

But IMHO, we need to warn new players about the current, possible risks associated with updating. "Lost Fleet" is still in a pilot stage and hasn't been officiallly released. I was personally unaware that the current update, updated you to "Lost Fleet". It was just that somebody told me about it. It would be disappointing and annoying for others to face the problem I faced, particularly when, IMO, the update is such a major, still being tested, officially unannouced change. Please understand, I am critisizing anybody about the new extension to the sim; its fantastic! Its just the the way its being introduction.

OK!!!!!!!! Back to CF2.0 or is it CF2.1 now?

The storyline meanwhile is done.

You will need about 50mins for the new mission... maybe a bit longer.

However, I would advice to replay the first two bonus missions since the story of these missions is connected (it helps to understand how stuff fits together).

The question if players need to start fresh singleplayer chars due to the introduction of a new faction can be answered with a careful "most likely not". Ive spent the past 7 hours writing a small tool that automatically patches old singleplayer savegames with the data that is required for the new faction to work correctly.

All you have to do is to run that tool once.

It will patch all singleplayer savegames. But before you complain... missions in the new systems only will work if you are using an OpenSP savegame or a savegame where you have already completed the final mission of the CF main story. Of course you can use any storyline savegame and play through the main story to unlock the missions.

Like I said... all savegames will be patched... for the missions it just depends if any SP story content is active or not.

What about the multiplayer?

Well... yeah... dunno.

The account structure is a bit different so I need to investigate a bit more how to patch this. Tomorrow I for sure will know more.

It means that this new mission (SP) will start when I use save after was Campaign finished (Note: my game saves were all patched) ? I try test it today evening, reached Sol system already and are docked on Earth . Reason why I ask is, that I thought that you must be in campaign mode to be able do this Sol side mission.

Guys I need some help.

I have patched every save game and even completed a random "nomad" mission. My next level req in "Mission" but nothing happened so far regarding the new "Lost Fleet Missions".

Should I go and dock on "Earth" ? or Juni is going to send me a message ?

Sorry for bother maybe I am kind of slow and hasnt catched the right way to do this.

Thanks in advance and congrats for a great job.
